FS: The Real McCoy's BUCO JH-1 - Size 42
-
Howdy, all. I have this listed on ebay and thought I'd go ahead and list it here.
For sale is RMC's reproduction of the Buco JH-1 in brown Shinki horsehide. This jacket is in excellent condition, with minimal signs of wear. The zippers all run smoothly, and the wool lining is pristine. No odors whatsover. $1300 (Paypal FF) includes insured shipping in the continental US. I'm happy to accept other payment modality and to ship internationally. Just DM me.
The fit on this is boxier than that of the older model RMC J-24 and is more aligned with the new-fit J-24s. I have an old-fit J-24L in size 44 that fits me perfectly at 6'1.5" and 190 pounds, 42-inch chest. The JH-1 fits me comfortably over a lightweight layer.
Measurements are as follows:
- Pit to pit: 21.75 inches
- Sleeve length: 25 inches
- Hem opening width: 20 inches
- Shoulder width: 18.5 inches
- Back length: 24.75 inches
Here's RMC's description:
**JH-1 is the first model from Buco. Features wool lining, rayon sleeves for authentic finish.
Buco is known for its reproductions of leather jackets. After acquiring the licence for production, Hitoshi Tsujimoto continues to revive the brand with state of the art pieces. This black biker jacket is a reproduction of the 1947 Buco JH-1 motorcycle jacket which was reissued in 1951 with a buckled belt.
The tried and tested durable horse hide leather used is vegetable-tanned with wool lining. The gold Talon zippers were revolutionary when first used for the original design and are a detail providing further authenticity to this jacket. The numerous press buttons attached and asymmetric pockets complete the classic biker look.
Thanks to The Real McCoy's vast vintage archive, they're able to design the JH-1 down to the finest detail. Yet another example why they can't be faulted.
