Yeah the zipper that goes all the way to the back kills it for me (not in a good way). Pocket on the arm can look awkward.

Okini actually has the dust globa as well and you can compare their sizing. Here's their chart for both:

To be honest though, I don't think the Mollino in size small has a 34" chest, my size small is around 38". Overall though, I think the millino fits smaller than the globa, but the intarsia/moto that Kunk mentioned should fit slimmer than those 2. I agree though, go with the intarsia/moto high neck first if you can.

RO leather is freaking addicting, it's been raining in SoCal and I've been wearing mine and it's just great. I'm really considering at least 2 more RO leathers in the near future.

globa fits far larger IRL than mollino. mollino shoulders are very narrow. globa is so nice aside from that awful back zip.
