FS: Aero Buco J-100 Board Racer CXL Steerhide by Thurston Bros, size 38

[deepestbluest]

I've had this jacket for over a year now and I've been in denial about the fact it doesn't fit me. It's one of the nicest examples of heavy leather that I've ever seen, hands down. It has seen barely any wear and only a bit of break-in (as chromexcel steerhide goes), and the wear-in process will make it even more beautiful.

Olive stitching, Talon/Waldes zipper pulls, and the olive liner add to the equation. The only gripe I've ever had with this jacket is the fact the zipper is difficult to get started, simply because of the weight of the leather around the zip at the bottom - which I'm sure will go away as the jacket gets worn.

Measurements as follows:
Chest: 21"
Shoulder: 17.5"
Back: 25"
Sleeves: 26.5"
Bottom hem: 19"

Wears just a bit smaller due to the weight of the leather. Again, that may change. I've just gained weight in my upper body so it's time for me to consider passing this one along.

Please feel free to inquire with any questions! Looking for $750 shipped in the CONUS

She’s a beauty. A bit too snug for me I think but I love it

This is back up for sale. The fella I sold it to claimed there was some sort of issue with the zipper and returned it...I just got it back and it feels like it zips now better than it ever did. I don't understand it, but am discounting it by $100 all the same since it's a possible manufacturing flaw.

Please feel free to contact me for details!

At last, it's mine! A killer jacket from a stellar dude. Thanks so much to @deepestbluest for making the process super smooth.

In keeping with spirit of the forum's "fit encyclopedia" and information archive goals, below I have two fit pics of the jacket. For reference, I'm 6'1", 164lbs, 38/38.75 chest relaxed/expanded, about 17" in the shoulders, and the jeans are a 31" waist. Shoulders look a bit bumpy in the photos but thats partially because it needs time to reshape to my shoulders---and because I have really boney shoulders! Also, hem flairs largely because of how I'm standing. I've found that most of the time, it sits pretty closed.

If I had the choice on a custom version of this, I'd probably have gone about 0.5" shorter on the sleeves, but for a used jacket, man, I didn't even expect to be this close. Wears well with a t-shirt, essentially matching the hems,, and only slightly more snug but still comfortable with a midweight hoodie.
