    Noob sizing question, comparing Schott to Aero/Vanson/Real Mccoy

    Probably referring to the American Safety Buco from 70s

    RMC J24 Buco with green lining - what year?

    I think it was sold in Japan by the actual owner therefore the reseller can no longer flip it on ebay.

    RMC J24 Buco with green lining - what year?

    This one is I think an even older version than mine and could be the one photo2u is talking about. I have doubts whether this one is shiniki leather. Here is an older not shiniki one made by the Few for RM. https://jp.mercari.com/item/m64202801763 There are lots of people flipping goods from...

    Leather jacket length short torso

    I agree with Marc. The Lightning was designed in late 70s to go with low rise pants/jeans which was the trend then. It is therefore rather long and attempt to shorten it may result in problem with proportion and pocket placement. A LL Bronx or the newly revived Memphis may suit your frame...

    RMC J24 Buco with green lining - what year?

    Incidentally, the J-24L which came out in 2012 has always come with black lining. I think RM finally decide to match the J-24 with the J-24L in 2015.

    RMC J24 Buco with green lining - what year?

    If my memory serves me right, the green lining is between 2009 and around 2014. As you can see in this Jan 2015 blog, the lining is black. I recall the black lining coming out in fall 2014. I was able to get a old stock green lining J-24 brand new at a discount on Rakuten in 2014 when the shop...

    The Flat Head for Posterity

    It depends on what you mean by bargain. I was offered a 10% discount when I sort of frown after learning that there is no tax refund at a shop (could that be counted as automatically, don't know). My fd and I have managed to talk RM owner's son into giving us a further discount on already 50%...

    What do you layer under your leather jacket?

    Different woven technique. BB cloth is 2 ply and thicker with different outside and inside texture.

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    My Sportclad arrived from Chicago. Should have asked the seller to send it to you for Urad treatment first. ;) LOL

    Thank you. Been looking for a black HB. Saw this listed on ebay by a reseller so went to the source. For 250 bucks + shipping within Asia, not much to lose.

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    I have my doubts. I know for a fact that the leather label Sears D pocket are 40s but I am not sure about HB. Will see when it arrives. Looks very similar to one Terry posted in #2 https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/post-war-sears-hecules-jackets.81828/ Here is another similar style...

    Actually he said he tried many times but gave up and used a technique to make it "looks" like it was turned.

    If you going to akihabara for the microphones, ueno is just next to akihabara. Relax is if you go to Kagoshima or Hokkaido. Hard to imagine chilling in Tokyo or osaka

    Yes. Too bad they closed the Lee shop at Harajuku. As said, try Americans 610 at ueno. Lots of Lee and wrangler. No tax free at 610 but tax free at Hinoya where you can find toyo items. Check out hinoya own burgus plus while you are there. Great value stuffs burgus plus. Must visit Ueno...
