Wonderful jacket.  The Buffalo hide has great texture.  Also love the licensed Buco label.

Sensational

Thanks guys, looking forward to having a first hand look at the J-100, something about shine of horsehide I really like.

[Qinhan]

Very nice.  Don't see many photos of the style king and you wear it well.  Agreed that this is a simple and beautiful design.

Thanks for your help people, I ordered the J-100 42 in dark black from vintage paradise so looking forward to trying it on.

Hi all, did anyone pick up a Welders jacket mj-13131 by any chance? Just trying to find out if the arms are as baggy as they look in pics. Thanks.

J-100 arrived today and its beautiful. I think for my body shape, I'm tempted to say it is a better fit than the style king, although it definitely needs to be worn in first. The sleeves are definitely narrower and have a sleeker fit. Thanks again for the sizing info.

Congrats Futura!!!  Photos?

Very nice colour gradation on that A-2.

I really love these shirts. They have a crazy (loopwheeled?) horizontal texture reminiscent of Tezomaya (I can't recall if that is the correct name).

Killer fit futura! such a badass jacket on you.. Where did you get your sizing info from?

[futura]

Thanks Zatemn. Most of the sizing information was from a combination of guys here and measurements off superdenim, blue and green soho and raakuten (vintage paradise).

On a side note the sleeves are breaking in really quickly on my j100, just waiting for the body to catchup for a better fit.

Cheers futura, I'll definitely look up the websites you mentioned.
How do the shoulders fit if I may ask? I tend to find with japanese cuts that if you want the shoulders to fit just right, sleeve length becomes visibiliy short and yours look spot on (but I do have narrow shoulders so might be just me).
Lastly, would you expect Shinki to stretch, if needed, like steerhide?

[futura]

The shoulders like the sleeves I would say are just a tad tight but I think with a bit of wear should become a bit more supple and mould a bit more to my body shape. I thought about having the jacket as a layering piece allowing for a ballpark sweat or tshirt underneath but its probably a bit too tight zipped with a sweat.

I'm Chinese and suffer from a similar problem with European brands where if i want a good shoulder fit, I end up having sleeves that are too long.

Thanks buddy.. Really appreciate all the insight. If it helps, I think the J-100 is designed to be tight fitting and look better than a layering piece .. I'd go for the exact fit you described
