@jischwar which vendor is the RC from? Leather super stiff? I remember trying on the Americaya version of the jacket last year. I think I could do a 42, but the leather was so stiff I was a little hard to gauge how it might break in.

MUSHMANS. I haven't found either of my RC's to be super stiff tbh. So either I don't have a good feel for it or they aren't 🤣

Cool. I’ll have to try and make it out to mushmans on this years trip as they seem to get more stock than others and try it on again.

They did a fantastic job of fitting me over email with me providing pics of myself wearing other jackets and measurements

That’s awesome to hear they did that! Might be a good alternative if I can’t make it out there. Hoping to have a jacket lined up for fall, but the RC Herc is one I’ve wanted for awhile as a secondary jacket.

This garment is so bad that it makes me question all of your other opinions

I won't convince you that the jacket is nice, if it's ugly in your eyes, and I understand from what I've seen that it's not your style.
It's a more classic garment that would go well with tailoring more than casual styles.

Question for everyone: Is Fine Creek Leathers still a thing? As in, a wanted jacket (models aside)?

Question for @sinnedk: still rocking the Leon? Remind me again, what size did you go with, a 40? How's the fit nowadays? (Saw your post on Reddit about the 3sixteen/Schott ... shocker. Really. Thought everyone loved that jacket.)

I have a size 40 and it fits me fine, I’m a bit lighter than I was when I bought it.

316xschott is a great jacket but I dove back into avante garde so less Americana style these days. If someone throws me a good offer I’ll sell the jacket otherwise it can chill in the closet.

That's good, @sinnedk. You know, for the life of me I can't find the photo of you and Wiliam DuVall with you wearing the Leon. Do you have any pics of it? I'm curious about the sizing again, although I gotta admit the pandemic actually saw me put on some weight, so I'm considering a 42.
