Remake of a Buco J-71 by FiveStars Leathers

[Hobbes1]

As mentioned, if 5* has a jacket to work from (copy) and/or super detailed instructions and measurements of the customer, they can turn out a great product. Congratulations on a nice looking jacket!

 

[Mysteryo]

I wasn't aware that Mysteryo sent-in his own jacket rivets and belt buckle to be used... I'm moving ahead without the rivets, and having 5-Star use one of their metal buckles appropriate for this style jacket on (hopefully) a snapped belt to easily replace the buckle if desired.

Here's my final details:

Buco J-82 Repro

Use original Buco pattern in my measurements

At least 1.4mm black steer hide most closely
matching original Buco as possible.

KEEP original J-82 D-pocket

NO snaps for fur collar installed on collar.

NO rivets

Thickest, durable pocket linings (canvas?) for all pockets

Lining: Red Twill cotton (Both body and sleeves)

Nickle Antique Talon zippers

Use appropriate style silver metal motorcycle jacket belt
buckle from your stock, and install snap on belt to make buckle
removable.

Correct Measurements:

Pit-Pit: 23.5 "

Shoulders: 19 "

Sleeves: 25.5 "

Hem: 21.5 "

Back Length: 24 "

I'll start my own thread to show the jacket after it arrives.... Hopefully, this will turn out as well overall as Mysteryo's jacket....

I'm impatient to see the steps and result!

And sorry: I didn't mention that I provides them with decorative studs and bucke. They obviously dont use to these so much.
