Hello, maybe someone here can help me. I found this The Real McCoy’s Buco J31 on eBay. I’m not sure whether the jacket is authentic or a fake. The Buco label and the zipper on the sleeve don’t match the current model. But it could also be an older version?
Has anyone here ever seen this Buco label and this sleeve zipper on a J31 jacket before?
What’s your take — authentic or fake?
Thanks a lot!

Not easy to tell from the photos. Looks the part for sure. Leather seems to have the typical „dull shine“, RMC‘s Shinki always seems to sport.

You can demand photos from the inside-pockets tags. Can be faked as well, but then why go the distance for a relatively small potential customer base in the first place?!

I found this jacket. The cost is $3594. I think it's the original.
