I'm thinking about getting a really nice jacket, leaning mostly to a Julius since I really like my jackets to have a 2-way front zipper, so that rules out RO and a few other I've seen, my main problem is I never really heard of Julius prior to joining this board and dont have any retailers that carry it near me, so I'm a bit unsure of a few things:

- Size? from the measurements I've read online, it seems I'm between a size 1 and 2, and have zero hope of actually getting to try both sizes prior to purchasing it, size 1 might be a bit tight in the chest/shoulder/biceps but otherwise seems ok lengthwise, and size 2 just seems a bit too long on the sleeve and body although chest/shoulders/biceps would probably fit better then on size 1, any comments or suggestions?

- Where to kop? Should I wait for a good one here/sufu/sz, or should I just try a japan proxy, I've seen that they run about 2k in Japan but have seen some on sale for around 1.2-1.5k too, so not sure if the extra few hundred is worth it vs koping one on the boards for around 1k although we all know waiting kinda sucks, any tips?

- Which style to kop? I like the racer, the jut neck and the moto, but something draws me more towards the jut neck although I cant seem to find good pics of it worn with the collar down, folded or spread out and really doubt I'd wear it with a standing collar all the time, or at least not when unzipped, any thoughts?

Some tips, suggestions, comments or personal experiences on this topic would be greatly appreciated.

Neither imo but out of the two I like the second better. No idea about the sizing.

45rpm blue OCBD (this might need a little tailoring, plus I have a blue chambray that would fit the bill)

OR, Jean Shop Rocker Chambrays (don't I have enough chambray already!?)
