A couple of beers deep and undeniably in the pose-zone before heading out yesterday evening

Steerhide Buco j100

Ralph Lauren gave me his 'I don't want to sell it' price.

Just received my 37J1 jacket from FiveStar. Perfect shade of light olive and the overall fit, construction and materials are excellent. Very pleased with this repro of the rare, early Navy cloth flight jacket!

Heh, is it any more ridiculous than the $1.5K, how much these usually sell on eBay? Would you have said you really scored one cheap if you paid $800 for it? All these numbers are ridiculous. It's an old, crusty, $50 jacket at best so you can ask - And pay - for it whatever you want. RRL knows anyone walking into their store is capable of dropping that kinda cash on a leather jacket so I've no beef with this price tag.

This

Next to some generic €5k Purple Label jacket €3.5k suddenly looks like a bargain.

Also a hassle to get something equally interesting for the shop. (That could be a fun job)

Getting a few more wears out of the Buco. Looking forward to colder weather!

Seeing your new fit Buco and having had the chance to try one on myself a few days ago makes me really want one - must resist the temptation!

How did it fit you?

How did it fit you?

Definitely a lot better than the old versions, which are/were just too damn tight - unrealistically so, having owned an OG 50s Buco , I can tell you that this new version is much more accurate in terms of proportion, fit and comfort. The 44 I tried on was actually sized like I would expect a 44 to be - the older version in that size I couldnt even think of zipping up

I was in doubt about sizing in the beginning. If it would fit a little big, but it seems very true to size. I’m 1.80cm with a 98cm chest. I’m happy I chose a size 40. It’s definitely a cool jacket and very accurate reproduction imo.

This is why God made Kehoe…

Although Ralph might want $800 for this $100 piece.

Rain today, but still too warm for leather.

Question to you all:

Would you recommend a silver-grey Nappa leather jacket or not? Could it get an ugly patina or something, after years?

 

[ton312]

silver: NO-grey: Yes Nappa leather jacket: NO

Aero Original Herc in Badalassi. “Serious design flaw“ i.r.o. placement of side adjusters inclusive .
