Founded in 1933 as the "Joseph Buegeleisen Co.,” Buco initially specialized in motorcycle accessories and saddlebags. In 1947, the brand introduced "Buco," a full apparel line, with the slogan: “Motorcycle jackets, gloves, caps, belts, and bags, all cut and sewn by lifelong craftsmen dedicated to the task at hand.”

  • Black finish over brown vegetable-tanned horsehide leather
  • Quilted nylon lining
  • Talon brass zippers
  • Two rear pockets
  • Front snap pocket
In its original condition with wear consistent with age and use, this piece has developed a stunning patina.

Dimensions:
Height: 15.75 in (40 cm)
Width: 17.33 in (44 cm)
Depth: 25.6 in (65 cm)
Are you the owner? What chest size do you wear in similar double riders? Any clue when this may be from? Thanks!

Sorry but this description doesn't seem to match the photos.

-What are "back pockets" and how are there two of them? There are three front zipper pockets and a snap pocket, but in the photos I only see one zipper in the back.

-What is a "depth" measurement? I don't see anything in the photos matching that measurement. And the other two measurements seem too small for this jacket.

-'Quilted nylon lining'? The liner in the photos is definitely not quilted and looks to be flannel?

To be clear, I can't afford this, but if I could I would not make a move on it until these apparent discrepancies were clarified. I'm still pretty new to leather so maybe I don't know what I'm looking at, but is it possible your description is for a different jacket?
