You handled that sleeve I see. Nicely done. What a jacket!

Thanks bud. The lighting in the pictures definitely accentuated the issue. All it took was light scrubbing with a leather cleaner and then Dr. Jackson's. I'll see what happens but have Pecard's Black waiting in the wings. It was hardly noticeable under normal lighting.

The jacket had a nice layer of dust on it. The seller wasn't lying when he said he bought the jacket at a thrift store in the 60s and then just left it in his closet for another 60 or so years. Time for the jacket to get some sun. Live a little.

I need to loosen up the side laces to wear it comfortably. Will leave it for now and just wear it open here and there. I prefer to wear my modern jackets to ride anyways.

It is a well-made jacket. No loose seams, stitching, etc. Solid as a rock after all these years. It really is impressive. Even the storm cuffs are still tight around the wrist.

JMax - I hope you get that great jacket out an wear it around a lot! Looks like it's never seen break-in, or much of the light of day either.

Gald it's with you now and out of the dark hidden away as it was.

It's hilarious that you thought at first that this doesn't fit you well.

I know right, what was I thinking?

Not exactly wearing this, as it is too small, but been looking at it for inspirations! A beautiful early Grais, not sure what leather. Some panel appears shrunken, some panels are very thick, others are soft and lambskin-like. Grail piece.

Shawn nailed it to the ground again. This hide is shockingly thick! It’s honestly near a Vanson if not maybe even a bit more in terms of weight. I was a little worried at first but I think this turned out beautifully!!

 

[handymike]

That’s the best yet!
A real unique jacket!

 

[jadub]

Jeezum, once again excellent!

 

[JMax]

You and Shawn are dialed in. It’s perfect.

I think Shawn really outdid himself. This one was tough and there were multiple built in tests in the measurements. He aced it. I’m kind of shocked as I was not expecting it to be this good. This one has me smiling ear to ear man.

The Real Mccoy's Buco J-100. Very versatile Jacket and super happy with the quality. I am between sizes on this one but chose to go up to be able to layer with a shirt or a sweater.

I’m actually happy for Shawn too. He’s accepted many challenges from knowledgeable folks. Done very well for the most part. Exceptional in this case.
