Yes, indeed
But this quote is fucking awesome:

Hello, I've been reading the forum for a quite long time but this is my first ever post. Hopefully the first of many. I've found a lot of really useful info about RMC here so thanks to all who contribute.
What I'd like is a little bit of advice and opinion about the fit of an N-1 I've just bought. I'm not 100% convinced on the sizing at the moment. Particularly the body/arm lengths. I've read elsewhere that the shoulders will give a little with wear and that the alpaca will flatten down so really not sure what to do with regards to returning and sizing up or sticking with what I have.
I'm 6'1" and have a 38. Opinions/constructive feedback all greatly received. Apologies for the poor quality photo!

Sounds like I need to fly to Tokyo soon.

I would recommend changing to size 40. The sleeves and body look short and it looks like you don't have a lot of room the shoulders.
-
I really Iike that fit but I do like jackets/shirts on the shorter side. What are you hesitant about? Does the chest feel tight at all or reasonably loose? From what I can see it all looks really good and if the chest and shoulders are comfortable then I personally feel that a 40 might look a little sloppy.

Thanks to everyone who has replied, really appreciate your time.
Seems the general consensus is the same as my gut feeling about the jacket.
Of course since I chose to go for 38 the 40 is now sold out at Superdenim. Had a feeling whichever I chose was going to be the wrong one!
Since getting switched onto the brand a couple of months back I've bought a couple of sweats, the 004 denim, DD chinos, a couple of shirts and basic t's and have got the sizing right first time on everything. I suppose my good run was due to come to an end!

I'm a 32" (maybe very slightly less) waist and went for size 30. They do shrink quite a lot after an initial soak but only very slightly in the waist in my experience. The width on the leg after a soak is slim but not too slim, which is exactly what I was after. There's a nice heavy weight to the cloth. I'd say sizing down by two would be the way to go in most cases.
I can get a fit pic later on if it would be helpful?
