    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I recently got a few items from Bronson. They are surprisingly well made. I hope the way they present themselves as an honest small business and taking care of their employees is true….but as far the products go Bronson surprised me with their quality per price. They offer a lot of value for...

    2022 - the year of suede?

    Nah haha. I’m a sucker for rough out and waxed flesh. Though that’s on boots where rough out and waxed flesh can be tougher and better suited for lasting longer or weather resistance etc…..on a jacket maybe not so much. The pony I wouldn’t do, if I were paying for that one I would have it the...

    Field Leathers

    I started it simply as a one stop about increased pricing for Field. I didn’t actually think anyone was going to comment but I should have realized this would happen or could have included don’t post, Just see the price, but then it became it’s own beast haha. Merging it would be most good.

    2022 - the year of suede?

    Do it! Do it for me, do it for Greg! Haha. Greg said to me he’s most excited to see how that turns out as well. Take the plunge and let live vicariously through your photos.

    2022 - the year of suede?

    Yeah those pics aren’t great. And at the moment Field is out my price range so I didn’t press him for all the details. Regardless I think a suede/rough out deer trucker or Manhattan would be an incredible choice. So come on someone with a budget that would work make it happen so I can be jealous...

    2022 - the year of suede?

    Talking to Greg Field I think it was mentioned somewhere else he’s going to be doing a deerskin option. These are the two hides he’s starting with and he said he will do rough-out versions. So not really suede but it will get ya the same look. I didn’t ask weight or tannery yet though. But I...

    @Monitor will see this eventually and get back to you. Or you could try sending him a direct message.

    FS: 50's or 60's German Leather Motorcycle Jacket, M or S (38-ish)

    really nice but I think chest would be a touch too large. Totally worth every penny.

    2022 - the year of suede?

    I have one. It’s slightly too big. But got it super cheap and it’s surprisingly well made for what it is.

    2022 - the year of suede?

    I own one of the Iron and Resin Goat Suedes -The Highwayman; and the detailing is nice, color is beautiful but it’s paper thin. When it says a lightweight jacket it means lightweight. I got it on sale and took a chance on it never having owned a piece of theirs but in retrospect would have went...

    Which RMC Buco jacket is this? [J24 content]

    Thanks ; That makes sense. And then we discussed different people broke off and started other brands and what not.

    Which RMC Buco jacket is this? [J24 content]

    Maybe. Like I said it’s all confusing and they all have so many connections. Like according to this 2017 updated 2019 Heddels article https://www.heddels.com/2017/12/the-real-mccoys-history-philosophy-and-iconic-products-2/ Joy McCoy is merely a sub label or RMC focused on western wear and not...

    Which RMC Buco jacket is this? [J24 content]

    I could have sworn it started as a product line to focus outside the scope of the main line and then became its own thing after? Like I said no expert and I believe you ha. Just swear at some point I had read that.

    Which RMC Buco jacket is this? [J24 content]

    Someone much more versed in Japanese leather jacket history can do a much better job explaining the history of them all; But if remember correctly RMC NZ was one of the first. Then it moved to Japan and Joe McCoy and Toys McCoy were product lines of RMC; then they broke off. Now a lot of the...

    US Navy & US Marine Corp Boat Cloaks, and US Army Capes

    I know nothing about these nor do I collect them. But I really appreciate the work and effort you’ve put into this. I can always appreciate a collector learning as much as they can and passing on the knowledge. Nice work.

    Which RMC Buco jacket is this? [J24 content]

    I think the 90s early 2000s are hit or miss. Not much is known about who their leather supplier was or if they used multiple sources. I’ve seen some look great, and some really not great at all. So nothing you can do except inspect it when it arrives. I mean the pictures look good though nothing...

    Just when you thought you had seen it all . . . (Warning: Not for the fainthearted)

    Yeah I’m seeing this more and more. It’s military and heritage pieces in oversized 90s hip hop fits. Not my thing but it’s definitely a big trend there now. And not even just Japan seen it a few places…

    Which RMC Buco jacket is this? [J24 content]

    So I realize I misphrased my point in the original comment too. I was working and typing. Yeah it makes it sound like they are always expensive and you get lucky to get one cheap. When in reality what I meant to say was they can go for a fortune when someone knows what they have/want. But they...

    Which RMC Buco jacket is this? [J24 content]

    That’s what I’m saying they don’t go for much. But I’ve seen them have the bidding ramp up and go like crazy when “collectors” and RMC fantastical get involved. I don’t think the general public cares. Because it’s HD label and not Buck. It’s not Shinki.

    Which RMC Buco jacket is this? [J24 content]

    For people who know the history those 90s HD labeled jackets cost a fortune. But every now and then you’ll see one for sale from someone who doesn’t know what they are worth. I’m not saying they are cheap; but actually selling under value of what you’d expect. As was mentioned by someone above a...
