Have a few wool jackets that are a bit too nice for daily wear, this sportclad beater should be cool
I have several jackets that have this type of fit. For my own body type and comfort, I greatly prefer how these type of jackets wear to the other type. You are correct, wide shoulders and chest is period correct 1940s.I'm waiting on a new real mccoy's type 1 leather jacket in brown aniline. I usually take a size 44 or 42, but the shop strongly recommended I size down to a 40. I'm following their advice, the measurements seem to correlate with that.
From the rmc official photo, it looks like the shoulders drop down, which I see is reminiscent of denim type 1 jackets? Anyway the measurements show very large chest and shoulders for their respective sizes. I am expecting the sleeves to be slightly too short on me, and some shoulder over hang with a roomy boxy torso fit. But I am going to accept it.

Interestingly, it seems that this type of styling seems to be more prevalent in the current fashion world (I think).
