Lost Worlds J23 Buco Leather Jacket Fur Collar w/ Belt 46 46L

[gtrplyr]

For Sale: Beautiful Lost Worlds Inc. J23 Leather Jacket. This jacket was ordered new from Lost Worlds earlier this year and has only been worn 1 time on my motorcycle for a short ride. Comes with antique brown fur collar and horsehide studded belt (which was an add-on when ordering). The jacket is not LW's standard J23 as it has some custom features: It is 3.5 ounce horsehide. It has #10 brass zipper. The tag reads 46L but it was custom fitted (specs listed below), so please look at measurements. The cuffs are slimmer so that they zip tight when riding, and the lining is a very nice Sateen (no quilt which is standard, but far too warm for most conditions). Lastly, there is a snap at the base of the zipper so that this J23 truly resembles a vintage Buco J23. Custom work was performed by Alan at Johnson Leathers in San Francisco (if you know handmade custom leathers then you know that Alan is considered one of the best in the country).

No stains, funky smells, or tears. There is one small mark from my nail by the lapel snap (see pic). Grain is just starting to really show and the sleeves are just starting to crease. Still has a lot of breaking in to do. If you know this jacket, you know my buy-it-now is a great deal. I have over $2k invested, so no lowball offers.

Measurements (taken with the jacket laying flat and fully zipped):
Pit to pit: 23.25"
Waist (taken where belt goes through loops): 21"
Sleeve (taken from shoulder seam down to cuff end): 26"
Back length (from base of collar to end of jacket): 25"

Asking $1300.00 shipped and PayPaled if sold here on the Forum.

It is also listed on eBay, if that makes you feel more comfortable.

Oh man, was just crying over not having the $ for it earlier today, when I first saw it on eBay. Perfect jacket. Good luck with the sale.

Sorry to have to see this one up for sale. Believe me, I've gone back & forth on my own J23 Size 44 a few times. Really wish I would have bitten the bullet for Sateen only lining, the Quilted (rather warm poly-fill) lining really cuts down on the usability of this jacket. Just too warm most of the time. Did Alan do that for you or did your order it from Stuart that way?

For Gtrplyr himself, I would like to publicly vouch for him. He sold me his J106 in his avatar, which I still own and love. The transaction was smooth and simple. He was a man of his word exactly, and packaged and shipped the jacket better than fine china would be packed. You will not regret purchasing from him.

Aero,

JL did the sateen. The quilt was far too warm... Almost unwearable. And thanks for the kind words.

^^Mine may indeed be headed out west, and soon! Thanks for the tip!

Shoulder to shoulder straight across is 20"
Middle of back at the base of the neck, around shoulder and following the outside of the sleeve is a touch over 37" (maybe 37.25).

Let me know if there is anything else I can do to help.
