    Buco J-82 repro

    BJ7102 is a 2007 pattern. As to the original Buco J82 configuration? Not sure if Buco makes it first since Grais also has one with the same configuration.

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Unfortunately, I have put on some weight and I won't be able to fit into any modern patterns given my height. One of the main reasons I have happily switched to 40s and 50s original is because of my weight gain. LOL.

    Leather jacket stores in Tokyo

    There is a couple of big chain "thrift" stores or 2nd hand stores in Japan. Here is the list of Aero jackets the 2nd Street chain currently has. But as said, it is a chain and these Aero stock are with individual stores all over Japan so the end result is the same as your average thrift store...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    The 613US also does not work for me. For me, it is the waist. I have a size 36 1928H that was a right tight fit for me but I was barely able to zip a size 38 613US (or the limited Rosie I can't remember which). It reminds me of the Levi's 70505 old pattern, the extra long sleeves and tiny...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    I think it is also because this particular one is too big a size for Japanese market. 47 inch chest guys in Japan are usually not of typical body shape and require custom jacket from like Langlitz. This also late model Star Glove BIN price is around 1000 usd. This one has been around for a...

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Leatherien is a liquid cleaning lotion with mink oil. Leather Crystal is jojoba oil wax with lanolin, a paste. If extremely dry with crackd, i may use mccoys horse oil. Columbus products are more readily available here being products from Japan.

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    It looks a bit dry so I will apply some Columbus Leatherien and Leather Crystal on but no Urad. I think the lotion will darken the leather a bit but not like coloured Urad does.

    Helping identifying these pants pic attached

    That is why I attached the ebay link as well. The Japanese shop only ordered the 30’ inseam but you can find them in other length. The one on ebay is 33’ inseam. Google Ace Drop Cloth and you will find other suppliers https://www.blacksmith-store.com/blogs/journal/new-arrivals-ace-drop-cloth

    RMC Mobster vs FW Mulholland. Who wins in a bare knuckle brawl?

    Yes, the Mobster is a straight up copy of an early version Californian. You are right that one can find quite a few of the similar later versions most likely with side laces but not necessarily the early one. The Muholland is more a tweaked versions of the CHPs and Higwayman I am not sure if...

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Thank you. I know a few Japanese workshops that do repair. Re-Sew at Schott Grand store for one but I don't think I would bother. There are cracks all along the shoulder and collar. The HH on the Sugar Cane feels very similar to my the Few badalassi. I am very happy with it since it fits...
