Hello guys, I recently acquired the Rmc buco j100 Black Core that I had been looking for for a long time, I found it on buyee and made my first purchase there.
When I opened the box and looked at the jacket, the first thing that caught my attention was the absolute lack of smell of the leather. I had never had shinki in my hands but from what I could see it has a very strong and characteristic smell, but this one did not smell. nothing at all, is this normal? Can a leather of this caliber lose its smell completely?
It occurs to me that they could have removed the smell using some type of product, but I have no idea, this is the point that has made me doubt the most, on the other hand it looks like real leather, the texture is a little rough too, more than my Badalassi and my ELMC.
The next point is the shoulder measurement, which is much smaller than usual for this size, 43.5 cm, when you run it could measure 48 cm if I'm not mistaken in size 40.
On the other hand, I see the inverted "V" of the zipper opening as shorter than usual, in other models that I have seen online it is always longer.
Then from what I have been able to verify, it is the BJ9110 model, due to details such as the fact that on the main zipper it says Talon in the old model and Mccoys in the new one, although I am not 100% sure that this is the old model, but I think yes, could someone confirm it?
The fact is that the seller has also sent me the label in which it indicates that it is the model BJ19110 030 (teacore) which is incorrect, because this model is 031 (Black Core) as can be seen in the color of the strips of the zippers.
Finally I see that it has the Real Mccoys label on the pocket and the Buco button so my confusion increases even more, but what has surprised me the most is the total lack of aroma of the leather.
I appreciate your opinion!
Thank you.
