Hey R3 bro's & sis's!
I usually get Icon & Alpinestars, and some AGV and Dainese gear. Icon wears big it seems for me and Alpinestars is about "right" on their sizing. I'm 5'5" but stocky/athletic. I was about 175 during my Army years but since hurting my back I don't lift heavy and work out as much anymore. I'm around 165 now.
Icon small fits me snuggly and get small, but usually wear medium. E.G. I wear Alpinestars medium jackets, but Alpinestars medium gloves are tight though they are completely different items.
I wear a lot of APC, J.Crew, & Diesel stuff casually and medium is about my size for tees, shirts, outwear, and hoodies. I've read conflicting sizing on RS Taichi gear reviews. Looking at some of their all season jackets to add to my Icon and Alpinestars riding jackets. All my jackets are black and my R3 is Raven. Wanted to grab something higher viz.
So the question is. How do you like the gear? Is it Uniqlo quality (which I love, but it doesn't last) or does it last? How about sizing? Are it's sizings in line with your other brands which generally fit along a universal size, if you will? I'm half Japanese but at STG for example,it lists "Japanese Medium" for example, but no idea what that means.

I am guessing, it runs smaller?
Thanks!
