So at the moment I own three M65 jackets. An alpha industries from 82, an Orslow and an RMC early model. I have long wanted a 1st model because the original is large and boxy. I found the Orslow on sale last winter at a great price and jumped at the chance. Unfortunately it doesn't fit me the way I wanted so I ordered an RMC as well. The Orslow is a size 2 and the RMC is a L. For reference I'm 180 and 72 kg.
I washed the RMC at 40 degrees and tumble dried it for 30 minutes to get the fit I was after. The RMC M65 fits exactly the way I want it. It's roomy enough for layering and it also looks great with just a shirt or t-shirt. Would say it shrinks to a large Medium.
HOWEVER, the quality between the Orslow and the RMC jacket is enormous. I think Orslow has a much better finish in the seams and the fabric feels more exclusive. The seams on the Orslow jacket are perfect, while on the RMC I have found a few faulty stitches. The inside of the Orslow is really nice with nice finishes on the seams. RMC has unfinished "single stitch" finishes, which feels very cheap for a jacket that costs almost 900 euros. Anyway, I'm incredibly happy with the fit of the RMC but they could really improve quality of the interior.
