    Hawaiian Shirts - Aloha Shirts

    Thanks guys! I'm definitely a fan of Japanese repro Hawaiian shirts, I find them much more aesthetically pleasing than even the most expensive vintage stuff.

    First Leather - The Real McCoy's Buco J-100

    Oh yeah, I was going to ask about that... Here they are. They're definitely wide enough, not sure if rounded enough.... Real mccoys makes a perfect hanger but not sure if it's worth it to pick up.

    Buco J-100 in Black Shinki by Diamond Dave

    Yeah, I think that depending on the year and even the particular jacket a perfect repro, to the jacket observed, could look different, even though they're both j100s. I think the RMC looks like the cream in in that pic.

    First Leather - The Real McCoy's Buco J-100

    Personally, I think that this leather is perfect for forming... When you pick it up it feels heavy (to me and anyone else whose not used to Aeros), but when you put it on its light and comfortable. I think that if it were heavier, it would be too hard to mold to your body or at least take a...

    Buco J-100 in Black Shinki by Diamond Dave

    Are you guys sure they modified it to fit Asian frames? Himel said they take apart vintage jackets and remake them ... For reference, I'm 5'9" 175 pounds in the pic... Not slim by any means. And I think it fits pretty good...

    First Leather - The Real McCoy's Buco J-100

    Exactly, the RMC actually comes in two different colors. Here's what the deep black tassel looks like Personally I think that the tea core looks cooler and more vintage, but I'm pretty sure that the deep black really just black forever. I think that it's sketchy to try and prematurely age a...

    Damn, Dave dropping knowledge!! Really appreciate you chiming in. I'd heard from many people that RMC were as real as it gets, and while I believe them, it's nice to actually know what exactly makes them special. Interesting note about the pit wear, I should be careful wearing backpacks!

    First Leather - The Real McCoy's Buco J-100

    I could be wrong, but doesn't Dave make it with custom measuremnts? So it could be long or short depending on your preferences... Another benefit of using makers like Himel, Good Wear, Aero, etc. I still think that if you can fit it, there's nothing like the RMC! I've worn this as much as...

    First Leather - The Real McCoy's Buco J-100

    I'm sure it's wrong, but if I see a black leather jacket with only two chest zips, a mandarin collar, and zipped sleeves, I just call it a BUCO, or at least an iteration of one. Just realized I never showed any closeups, hopefully this captures the magnificence of the leather... It's...

    First Leather - The Real McCoy's Buco J-100

    Of course I'll update! I wore it today and it felt great - even the waiter liked it... It's amazing because it was so hot yesterday, but today it cooled down enough. No worries on the thread :) it's a great convo. I think it's helpful to have info on all the different types of leathers! The...

    First Leather - The Real McCoy's Buco J-100

    I like where this thread is going! I know that some kensingtons have two snaps on the collar, although I'm sure he could give you just one. Another one of the main reasons why I didn't go with the Himel route, other than it being about 800 more, is that it seems the leather he uses is very...

    First Leather - The Real McCoy's Buco J-100

    The first time I saw this jacket it was from another forum member on IHUK that bought a Kensington. My thoughts about the jacket instantly went from "who is going to wear this" to "I need this jacket". If you're comfortable in it you can pull it off! Here's the peaking...

    First Leather - The Real McCoy's Buco J-100

    Exactly, I'll post a picture so that people understand. For some reason it's really not talked about. I was afraid it would bother me, but I've actually come to like it. It seems unique to the RMC and, considering none of their other jackets do this, I'd imagine it was an intentional design feature.

    First Leather - The Real McCoy's Buco J-100

    No; fortunately, a retailer had it in stock. Specifically: http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/2nd/item/fh-fow-40c-brxbkxye/?s-id=borderless_recommend_item_en Incredibly expensive, yes, but I believe it's well worth it, considering it'll last forever and you use it every day. They also have a...

    Yeah, his is a great fit for sure. Come morning I'll post another pic, like I said, i'm surprised by how comfortable it's become :)
