    Thanks @jeo, I was hoping you'd chime in given your experience with so many different models. Much appreciated. More pictures from the listing for reference:

    Seeking info about Real McCoys Buco J-57

    There's one for sale on ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1990s-Vintage-REPRO-The-Real-McCoys-Buco-J-57-Motorcycle-Leather-Jacket-38-j-100/173908191068 It's a stunning cafe racer style jacket. I assume RMC discontinued the model/style. How's it differ from the J-100? What years did they produce...

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

    I was watching that brown deerskin CR. Seller was moving several LW jackets. Congrats and hope they both work out well.

    What is the longest order time you have gone through before receiving your order?

    Couldn't agree more. I'm all for making a profit if that's what you want but this one left a very sour taste. I remember reading an article by Anthony Bourdain about getting a Bob Kramer custom. That is something to dream about. Great point.

    What is the longest order time you have gone through before receiving your order?

    Custom folding knife from Scott Cook, the Lochsa in Damascus took 2 years. He’s a craftsman that faced huge demand for his work. He kept a list but wouldn’t take deposits. It worked wonderfully. However once his wait exceeded 2 years he stopped taking orders. He never took money up front which...

    Vanson Horsehide Enfield Jacket

    Lovely find! I hit my local flea market this morning and saw a handful of Wilson’s and no name denim jackets. I always dream of a find like yours. Congrats! Amazing that it fits so well.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Looks good on you. As enthusiasts we look for nits to pick. General population doesn’t see it that way. My issue is that you aren’t a hair larger so your A1 would fit me.

    Himel/GW Imperial

    That is a stunning piece of work. Fits perfectly as well. I’ve been waiting for Himel to get that dark brown Shinki for a while. He gave me the “soon” response a couple of months back. It’s lovely stuff and yours is a great use of that leather.

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Very cool jacket and even better story. “Condition is Used. I bought this from a school friend in 1972. His dad bought it in Canada in 1945. My kids wore it in the 1990s and had a new zip fitted which is working fine“

    GoodWear Leather - 1939 Werber A-2 (new)

    Fits perfectly. Very nice. Curious about the shade of shinki, is it called simply brown or medium brown. I'd love to spec something in a super dark shinki like Himel's dark brown but he's faced similar availability issues. Hoping that supply is getting better for the N. American makers.

    help me choose a cafe racer (first leather jacket)

    Can you spec an aero cafe racer without the shoulder gussets? I found the CR fits better than the BR but I like the simple back panel sans gussets.

    Photos of cool jackets owned by others (non-brand specific)

    Where was this taken? Great image! I'm with you. Pictures of their worn jackets are stunning & their IG feed is something else. Sadly they aren't made to fit a guy my size. Note, I don't think these are pre-distressed. I'm guessing the pictured jacket is one that's been worn for a while...

    Schott CAF1 limited re-release!

    I ordered on and returned it. Curious more than anything as I loved the pics and wanted one years ago. RE: sizing, I'm a 46 in the ELMC Californian, 44 Aero CR (sold) and recently bought a 46 RMC BucoJ100. I went with an XL in the CAF1 and it was HUGE. Big everywhere, chest, shoulders, sleeves...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    That is a stunning piece and would likely fit me. I've been drooling over the same seller's Buco Rider in deerskin: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Lost-Worlds-Custom-Buco-Rider-Deerskin-Jacket-Mens-44/372693310963?hash=item56c6409df3:g:P~MAAOSwUY9dC8dy I've never handled deerskin. I'm sure it's a...

    Gratz vintage German [emoji629] motorcycle jacket

    @Guppy What a cool piece of history. Any idea how it stored all these years? The leather doesn’t look all that different than a 10 year old jacket.
