Opinions needed on an RMC J-24 fit

[LEOSTARK]

Hi there,
Yours truly is about 5'8" 150lbs, 38' ish chest. I grabbed an older J-24 (BJ19003 I believe) in size 40. This is my first D-pocket jacket, and I bought it based on how much I loved the shinki horsehide on my J-100.

Is this how it is supposed to fit? The sleeves cover the first knuckle of my thumb when zipped and the shoulders I feel they could be more filled/curved.

Sugarcoating not needed. Please excuse the weird choice of venue and boots.
Thank you.

Yes, the shoulders look like they could be ever so slightly more filled in the area of the shoulder seam, but the overall fit looks very good. I'd say you're good to go. A size smaller might be too tight.

Pattern looks a lil awk on you. Tubey around the midsection but big on the shoulders

At least judging by the pictures (which are not ideal), I think it's quite good. Maybe a little too long on the body, but that's a matter of taste.

It looks like you sized right but the design isn't the most flattering on you (not your fault; the pattern is, as cbez put it, a bit tubey.) They significantly improved the pattern in the more recent iterations if you really want the RMC take on it, though the originals still fit better.

Yeah, it is a little tight in the chest area but for some reason has 3/4 inch or so broader shoulder than is ideal for me. Usually, if a jacket is big or small, it is big or small all over. Must be the cut or my body shape. Thanks.

Now I have to overcome my denial, delve into the intricacies of how the newer ones are better suited for my body shape, try to find away of selling this one to get a newer one in my size. Ay caramba! Good seeing you, man!
