    I bought and RMC Buco j-24 and found a scar on the leather. Help me determine if it’s considered character or not.

    I bought and RMC Buco j-24 and found a scar on the leather. Help me determine if it’s considered character or not.

    Thank you all for giving me your input. Spoke to RMC and I ended up keeping the jacket. They were willing to take it back, but not send a new one. I’d rather keep it than sending it back to buy a new one with the risk of getting one with similar or worse marks while losing money in the process...

    I bought and RMC Buco j-24 and found a scar on the leather. Help me determine if it’s considered character or not.

    You are probably right. I don’t know it just felt bad to see something like this especially when it’s the second jacket I get from them that has issues. First one being more obvious as the zipper was faulty. I’m still trying to figure out what to do with it. As you see some would say that scars...

    I bought and RMC Buco j-24 and found a scar on the leather. Help me determine if it’s considered character or not.

    It does bother me because everything else about that jacket is so great and the fact that this is the second one I went through because the first one had a faulty zipper (which blew my mind). I’ve gotten a lot of great input from people here and as always TFL has the experts to help with a case...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    That Jacket is so incredibly cool. Wasn’t there also a version of it with starts on the sleeves?

    You are probably right, just didn’t expect to have an issue like that with such ab expensive jacket. That was my biggest worry. If the leather would be weaker due to the scar, so thank you for the replies!

    I mean the leather doesn’t really feel thinner or anything where the scar is, but it being a weak point is definitely a worry for me too.

    Prone to failures as in the leather being weak were the scar is or due to failures as in the scars are there due to a failure from the tannery and cutter?

    Don’t live near a store. Nearest store is in London and I live in Copenhagen. Unfortunately :/

    I bought and RMC Buco j-24 and found a scar on the leather. Help me determine if it’s considered character or not.

    Good to hear everyone’s input. When contacted TRMC they forwarded my complaint to the head office in Japan. This is the answer I got back: “For the jacket, they do not recommend replacing with another model as the hide used in your jacket would be considered A grade so would not be an outlier...

    I bought and RMC Buco j-24 and found a scar on the leather. Help me determine if it’s considered character or not.

    So I bought this RMC Buco J-24 jacket. Originally I had bought the same jacket but the zipper was faulty so I had to sent it back. I bought a new one hoping that this would have no issues only to discover visible scars in the leather. The leather is vegetable tanned and pigment finished. I...

    Freewheelers La Brea, San Mateo and Centinela 2021 model discontinued.

    Hi all There has been a lot of speculation about when the next round of La Brea, San Mateo and Centinela jackets from Freewheelers will drop. Someone once claimed that Freewheelers couldn’t get Shinki horsehide that lived up the usual standard and therefore couldn’t get the jackets made. I’ve...

    Torn between two... Help me decide!

    Thank you very much! Stitching isn't everything either. That's overrated tbh. The reason why I went for the RMC J-24 is because I thought was the closest to the orginal. Fit over maker any day though. The 613 and 618 from Schott are amazing patterns that just fit.
