I ordered the Ronin because I did not want a sporty, flashy, perfect looking leather jacket like what is being sold today. It's got the modern cafe, but vintage inspired look that I was going for. The leather is soft, matte in color, and even smells wonderful. Perfect amount of pockets, nice zippers, and it performed well enough in the 90*F heat. It fits close to the body with just enough room to wear a hoody underneath (around 65*F for me). I had the jacket for only a month before my accident and my upperbody was unharmed.
The only thing I want to note is that I thought these were limited jackets, but it appears not. I've seen pictures of the early "batch" of Ronin's and each jacket was numbered with a small leather patch as seen in the photo I've included. My jacket does not have any RS limited set number.

Is this jacket appropriate for Sydney (Australia) summer weather? i.e. 25-30 degrees celcius
^As above
I found the jacket was comfortable and flowed enough air for 25-30*C or 85*F, it was even nicer if I did not zip the jacket up completely as more air could get though. Above that, almost any jacket will be hot and sweaty and I don't ride if it's that hot anyways because it's just unpleasant.
