I've owned this jacket a few years, wore it a few times. The Italian Horsehide is still plenty stiff. It is far from broken in. There is some tea core on the sleeves, with minimal wear. If you like tea core this jacket will provide the experience, just wear it.
I had not seen one for sale...
I bought this jacket a couple of years ago for a couple of reasons; I have seen their jackets but never owned one. and I graduated from Utah State University in 1975. I don't think of Utah as a garment center, but it may be. When information on a company is limited I go to the jackets them...
No not a Buco, possible an original Buco label, but no a Buco. In fact, I'm removing the label to end the reference. In a previous sale members here pointed to a British Cycle jacket. Which is as close to naming it I can get.
Size: 44/46
Condition: Excellent leather and 7 pounds! The...

I bought this Beautiful Buzz Rickson because I wanted it too fit. Vintage jackets in this style are nearly impossible to find or afford! I took a chance because some numbers were close, but not close enough. I"m 5'9" in the fit video, 183 pounds. At least it gives you an idea of the fit. If...
Welcome to my "triplet sale". I own 3 of each style. I have chosen my 2 keepers. The remaining 4 are being offered for sale.
This video is a preview while I get the details together.
I'm getting these two ready for sale. This is a preview. More info to come.
The PJ 27 police jacket is probably a 46 and weighs 7 pounds, relined with original early Buco label. Mystery jacket from Tasmania!
The D Pocket jacket is missing the D Pocket, but retains the original rare lining...
This Windward is distinctive by the label script with nylon lining, nylon stitching. This is the earliest rendition of the Iconic 50s Windward labels. This script was a selling point for the "new" post war use of nylon. All the makers moved from the wool/flannel linings to the nylon around the...
Come and get it. These are the coolest MC jackets out there. You can have this one, I've got a size 42. Both are pictured in the photo album. I'll post the link to a thread on the Vertical zip Hercules.
This style was first produced by Appalachian Tanned and Tailored c.1947 during the...
Allstate was a Sears Roebuck trade name. These jackets had no name in the Sears catalog and were only in there a short time. These were made by Buco and they have a model number which I can't recall.
My favorite Buco model, but a bit small for me. I zip it, but it is too small for me. it is...
This one is all about the lining. You just don't see it that often on vintage jackets. This has a great looking, great condition lining that makes for a comfortable jacket on a cool fall evening
Leather is is find condition with no peeling, cracking, flaking, breaking. Zipper is well sewn...
I will do pics with measurements but this video is the best example of how nice these Monarchs fit. Fits like a 44 with a nice tailored fit. I talk more about it in the video. This jacket style is so classy and the color of the Steerhide is very nice. Most like this are brown horsehide.
I...

This is a heart warming story about a jacket deal between two Forum members. One ends up with a Grail Quest jacket.
I buy, sell, trade jackets on a daily basis. I've got a youtube channel and now have instagram. I'm still learning instagram, but know how to respond to messages. Yes, I get a...
