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. When I ordered my Buco style jacket (based on the vintage pictures) from local tailor, I got it like this. Now, after the leather has broken in, the back is not so fitted anymore, I mean, the double part is hanging out somewhat and the jacket feels too loose. Recently I saw a picture where it seemed that back pieces were sewn together for about the length of passenger pocket zippers, and then there were openings at both sides. maybe that jacket was altered, the picture resolution wasn't that good that I actually could see the seams.

I would appreciate any comments and detail pictures of originals :)
