Construction seems pretty consistent with the leather but the leather quality does varies. The oiled calf is just unbelievable, almost worth it's retail price, while some washed lamb feels really thin.

what's sz 1,2,3 in japanese clothing? i assume s,m,l?

my robert geller rider is a sz 46 and it fits pretty snug. it's beginning to form to my body better and not as tight.

i should also add, while my blistered lamb does feel a little thin, the attention towards the distressing is pretty amazing.

you're a size 2 in leathers or a small size 1 most likely.

I dunno how to compare it to julius, cuz they feel/look different and I'm no leather xspert.

Oh yeah, the detail on the leathers are great, the blistered lamb bomber I have is incredible, which is actually surprisingly substantial as well.

i think julius is a lot better made than ro. my biggest issue with japanese clothing is shoulder size and length. **** is just tiny.

Julius used to use better leathers, I'm not too impressed with any of the recent offerings design-wise, tho. Some of the vegetable tanned ones are awesome,but use thin squeaky leathers. If you're looking for a thick, supple lamb, get a ToJ, not Rick or Julius. Rick oiled calf is pretty nice for a smooth calf, and the Attachment/Backlash washed calf leathers are insane enough that I bought one almost on impulse. It depends on what you want, honestly. I'm pretty happy at this point switching between a calf DR and a (thin) lambskin intarsia depending on how I feel

Come to think of it, the thin lamb is perfect for cool spring nights.
