    Buco j27 jackets - originals and repros

    See Dinermans catch re. the size label pic :) PL 12/09)... . it's a J-27 as opposed to a PJ-27 with cuff straps added. It could very well be a J-27 Style King with added cuff straps but most of the J-27M's I've seen didn't have the cuff straps and had zip cuffs. The model would be on the...

    Thurston Italian Vicenza Horsehide Full Grain Veg.-Tanned Horsehide for Aero Jackets

    Sloanie .. I don't think this is the Thurston Bros / Insurrection affiliate thread ( from the title) ..... I could be wrong ( I haven't had any direct interaction with the mods re. the affiliate thing) ... but that probably exempts it from the control !

    Buco j27 jackets - originals and repros

    I bought an Alpinestars " adaptation" of the J-27 ( it had elasticated leather sections in the waistband at the sides rather than the belt and two handwarmer piockets ... but other than that it was a very close representation ) in the early 80's ... it was a GREAT jacket to wear and the "chest...

    People going crazy for Leather Jackets

    1st rule of Ebay .... bid what you're willing to pay .... a thing is only worth what it's worth. There is no "winning" or "losing" there's just buying or not buying ... so bid what YOU think it's worth TO YOU ( because no-one else really matters). If I'm interested in what something will...

    Is there any low price B6 repro?

    In originals yes .. but there are plenty more D-1 makers than B-6. The B-6 is a much more complex pattern ( bi-swing back etc.) ..... and as such fewer manufacturers .... For a D-1 try ( price is indicated by the £ symbol .. the more the £ the more expensive) : Aero £££ Alexanders ££...

    Is there any low price B6 repro?

    Aero often have smaller sizes on their sale pages .... equally the B-6 is quite a rare beast and you might be better spreading your search to the D-1 as well ( which can be picked up new for around £5-600. Sorry can't help further ... cheers

    Two new pairs of boots ...

    Both the Burgundy Clarks and Red Wings go very well with either Brown or Cordovan or Burgundy Leather ( my Burgundy AL Simmonds Billt is a perfect match) but it's also good with my Aero Brown HB Deluxe and LHB. My general rule is brown and burgundy are interchangable ( jackets / shoes )...
