Oh, that’s interesting, I never thought of that. I’ve seen old timey photos of a work apron that buttons to that hole, ties at the bottom like a regular apron.

New to me IH Type 3 19oz jacket from @MattinMD. Couldn't resist the iron heart temptation but now I know why this is so highly thought of. Longer in the body than what I'm used to wearing but I don't think it's too bad
Looks good! They do run longer than I prefer. Last one felt too long for me and sold it but I was considering having JL remove the lower band, hack off about 1-2 inches, replace the band. Probably not that easy idk...Have some room with pocket placement. Not sure you would consider but I recall you being pretty close to them.

I wouldn't want it any longer....but the overall fit sure suits you IMO. Just wear it ahile then maybe give it a good soak to break it in. Very nice Jin !!

Thank you @Psant25 The back length is what prevented me from trying them before, I still prefer the classic shorter body denim jackets but this is too nice to move on from. That's a lot of work for a denim jacket plus JL is swamped with SFPD jacket orders right now. My jacket is running 1 month behind already.
Thank you kindly, HD. I was concerned about the length but it's also nice to wear something longer in length. I actually have the jacket soaking in cold water and will wear it to dry for the rest of the day.
Wow! That jacket has so much earned patina. CongratsBuco J65 from 1951 2nd Label; Nothing can affect the patina more than time

I do like this model. Has a civilian Aviator look with belt loops! This must be a seldom seen model? I would have noticed this, it stands out in the Buco line.

Honestly man, I think that is way too long. I much prefer how your other truckers fit you.

BACK to default.
It's understandable why you couldn't resist
Beautiful jacket, love those sleeves and you're right it's not bad but it's a bit too long. If it was a different type of jacket wouldn't look long but for a trucker, it does in my opinion.Similar threads
