I remember purchasing the Anvil jackets from Hiroshi Kato years ago, but haven't explored their shirts much. After picking up my fourth (fifth?) pair of their denim, I decided to check out the Ripper and boy howdy I'm glad I did. Sure, these are a bit on the expensive side, but the quality in this shirt and the fitment (more on that later) make it feel like a luxury piece for sure. I'm in Texas, so I wear it as an over shirt/jacket and it gets noted/complimented every single time I go out (not being hyperbolic). Having said that, I agree with the other reviewer - it wears slightly smaller and so sizing up is recommended. I'm 6'2", 185 and almost always an M in shirt sizing, but I wear an L in the Ripper. Although the M would work around the waist for me, it feels somewhat tight across the chest and shoulders.

Amazing quality and fabric feel. Only 4 stars because the fit is small. Had to size up from what the size guide would otherwise suggest. Probably wouldn't if you have a six-pack

I get a new ripper every fall. This one like them all is truly a statement piece. Great color, amazing fit, unique fabrics. Will be wearing this for years to come.
