Wow, that's a helluva jacket for that price.

G, if I sent you/ Will a jacket, could you re-make it (bit like a shorter McLain) but bigger if I gave dimensions?

[Giles]

I'd call Will direct.

[EastWest]

Hokay, cheers.

Mine and Will's interpretation of a Buco J100 is inbound….I am beside myself with excitement....

I can hardly wait to see the pictures.

^Same here!

[Giles]

More to come…..

[Graeme]

Nice.

I'm looking forward to seeing the @gbougard special in red.

[Giles]

This one was built without a lining and we have a few issues with fit on the upper arms and body, so it is going back for a recut/rebuild, but you get the idea (& I love it)…..

Oh, and I LOVE the arm seams yoke seam that is as one....

[Cole]

Looks a bit short in the body for a J-100 but very nice and promising. What hide did you use, steer or horse? It doesn't have the typical stiff horween CXL look, which is a plus.

[Giles]

Vintage horse…..

[Graeme]

How's the zip attached on the inside? Is there a leather facing, as you'd find on a lined jacket?

[Giles]

[rocket]

love it so far, unlined is ace…

[rocket]

would prob add a glove leather trim round the edges of the pocket bags…

[Graeme]

Thanks Giles.

How about making the pocket bags in leather? Denham did an unlined jacket that did this.

When I was (OK, still am) thinking about a J100, I'd have lost the chest pockets (and I know it's a part of the style), and gone for a pair of inner pockets. I'd have based these on the M421's design, and have them held in place on the armpit seam.

Deerskin would make a great pocket material

[Cole]

@mclaincausey
I think anything else then the usual cotton / canvas materials would make the pockets bulge in a slim fiting jacket like the J-100.

Now that's a leather jacket.

Right up my alley and I love the zips on the arms.
