    FS: Leather jacket, Buco D-pocket copy

    Made of thick (~3.5 oz) steer (most probably) or horsehide. Leather is very supple for its thickness and needs no conditioning, has developed some patina and graining, lining is wool mix and is in good condition.

    Traditional biker jacket with a little bit of modern touch

    Hello, After two months waiting I got my new baby home today.

    I have a question about those vintage wool lined motorcycle jackets. Did these have some kind of interlining or was that wool plaid lining only insulation after leather outer shell? Same question about cotton drill/sateen lining inside the arms - I think there should be thin insulation layer...

    Help needed to decide what size A2 jacket should fit good

    Hello to all, I am really into buying my first horsehide A2. I found a site called qmi.be and read some very good reviews about their jackets but I haven't found any good reference about fit.

    What kind of jacket is on the picture?

    Found few pictures of Billy Gibbons, wearing pretty cool jacket. It seems like vintage half belt for me, but what would you all think?

    Old Buco style action back length

    Hi, As I have seen only pictures of originals and these aren't so informative, then I ask it. i'm not sure if you understand it fully, but I give my best try to describe, what I want to know. It seems that old jackets have the opening at back as long as the upper part of the back leather...

    New member and new leather jacket

    I have been reader of this board about a year now and decided to make my personal account now. So greetings from Estonia :) Few months ago I was looking for new motorcycle jacket, as my old one was too worn to be restoreable. And as it was cheap imported one, then restoring it was not worth...
