Just received the Flat Head rider jacket. Awesome quality as ever, just need to soften up the shoulders to deal with the usual quirky shoulder-chest ratio of FH stuff.

With the zip up a few days later, shoulder softening.

They don't go up to a 46 do they?

I'm a bit heavier & rounder than you but this may work given that it looks like you have some room to breathe.

This XXL is their largest. But the chest does measure 47 so you might be ok.

For others looking for the jacket, the only place left with any in stock is the official flat head website (in Japanese so use a translator tool). You’ll need a proxy as they only ship in Japan.

That brown 5zip is fantastic and makes me want a 5zip again.

That Blackmeans biker at MrPorter is up, somebody returned a size 5. It's cool but a smidge weird. Almost some old-Prada vibes. Can't figure out what the leather is, but I'd love to see it in a more traditional silhouette. And a silhouette that isn't $2800 (significantly more expensive than most Blackmeans jackets).

Lapels look a little awkward unzipped on that Blackmeans. Kinda stick out, not quite full size DR lapels with snaps. Otherwise its cool.
