MWoah, the most leather-man buco. I want one!

The Buco J-82 I mentioned last Friday ended up at approximately $980 USD.

I don't know anything about Bilt Buck but this jacket is pretty wild. Not necessarily a deal at approximately $2,000 USD but out there for sure.

Very cool, vintage-y, maybe custom Vanson size 38. At approximately $360 USD this could be a good one. I love the chainstitch "Vanson" across the back, makes it feel very collegiate.

Buco j100 padded size 44
https://jp.mercari.com/item/m62169655330
This jacket has been discontinued for quite some time, like the j82 padded, it is always in demand.
a size 44 is even rarer.
I fit the buco j100 size 42 otherwise i would have bought it.

Double Helix Innovator (J-24 style) - Size 40 in Germany for 600-700eu.
According to the measurements seems to be sized like a 36.
I'm enquiring myself about some other measurements and will consider it if the seller is willing to negotiate low enough. So I hope someone else here grabs it before I do to save my wallet.

Another Vanson - this one an older CHP style. Leather looks good with a nice bit of wear showing on the exterior seams. The size tag is missing but seller provides the following measurements:

Shoulder width: about 46cm
Body width: about 53cm
Length: about 62cm
Sleeve length: about 66cm

With a BIN of approximately $230 USD this too could be a good buy. The only issue that's noted is the fabric on the main zip is "...a little weak," however, the zipper opens and closes to the top without issue.

Friend, The SD leather jacket factory, is a very different company. I consider them several steps below in quality form, G&B. Not a big of G&B either, but credit is due to their production.

I've seen a lot of those in JP listings, they usually are 200-300$ yeah. That quote likely means male insert pin fabric is partially worn/damaged as is the case with 90% used Vansons you'll find anywhere. Or used jackets in general.
