The Real McCoys

[Broark]

I have washed both of them a few times now and they shrunk up a little bit, but not too much so that they don't fit anymore.
I don't have measurements on hand, but it was mainly a bit in the length.
They're still great fitting after a couple of washes and hang dries!

^ agree, no significant shrinkage - just a cm in length if regular wash without dryer.

So just a quick review of the Buco Styleking. I purchased this from Tokyo RMC when I was looking for a jacket with a minimal details. The buffalo hide has really moulded well to my arms. Compared to my other leathers, its quite generous on the top half of the arm, so if you work out, it will still be a good fit. The grain on the buffalo hide varies from the arm to the back part of the jacket without being obviously noticeable from a distance.

I currently wear the 42 and as more of a layering piece. For a more comfortable zipped up fit, I would have probably sized up but I normally wear unzipped.

And a fit pic - excuse the un-ironed mccoys sweat

super great fit of a nice jacket! congrats…

Wonderful jacket.  The Buffalo hide has great texture.  Also love the licensed Buco label.

Thanks guys, looking forward to having a first hand look at the J-100, something about shine of horsehide I really like.

Very nice.  Don't see many photos of the style king and you wear it well.  Agreed that this is a simple and beautiful design.

Thanks for your help people, I ordered the J-100 42 in dark black from vintage paradise so looking forward to trying it on.

Hi all, did anyone pick up a Welders jacket mj-13131 by any chance? Just trying to find out if the arms are as baggy as they look in pics. Thanks.

J-100 arrived today and its beautiful. I think for my body shape, I'm tempted to say it is a better fit than the style king, although it definitely needs to be worn in first. The sleeves are definitely narrower and have a sleeker fit. Thanks again for the sizing info.

Congrats Futura!!!  Photos?

Very nice colour gradation on that A-2.

I really love these shirts. They have a crazy (loopwheeled?) horizontal texture reminiscent of Tezomaya (I can't recall if that is the correct name).

Killer fit futura! such a badass jacket on you.. Where did you get your sizing info from?

[futura]

Thanks Zatemn. Most of the sizing information was from a combination of guys here and measurements off superdenim, blue and green soho and raakuten (vintage paradise).

On a side note the sleeves are breaking in really quickly on my j100, just waiting for the body to catchup for a better fit.

Cheers futura, I'll definitely look up the websites you mentioned.
How do the shoulders fit if I may ask? I tend to find with japanese cuts that if you want the shoulders to fit just right, sleeve length becomes visibiliy short and yours look spot on (but I do have narrow shoulders so might be just me).
Lastly, would you expect Shinki to stretch, if needed, like steerhide?
