    Anyone help date this Buco PJ-27?

    Same jacket I posted below. Terry figures it's 1950s era, but neither of us is really a Buco expert. Wondering if anyone can confirm or narrow it down. Some details: dark blue steer label pic below; also, no external belt loops; two rear inside loops.

    New (to me) Buco PJ-27

    This little beauty just arrived today from an illustrious fellow member of the lounge. I've always liked the PJ27, which has the shape and some of the features of a classic D pocket, but is lighter on the zips. But this is the first one I've handled in person. This one is probably just a bit...

    Here's a very interesting pullover leather moto jacket..

    Currently on Ebay, not cheap. Not the sort of thing I would wear, but have to admit it's very cool, and probably of interest to some folks here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/361832207418?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

    The Motorcycle Helmet Thread

    Not sure how much interest there is on the forum, but I know lots of guys ride. So, show us your helmets. Be interesting to see what people are wearing (those who do wear helmets!), but also maybe hear about fit issues. Here is my inexpensive Daytona open face. I got it in matte black...

    Any guesses as to the maker of this cafe racer?

    A little weird, but kinda cool. Hard to tell quite what the leather is like because of the strong sun:

    Differences in wear -- Aero CXL horsehide vs CXL steerhide..?

    Seems like lots of pics of their FQHH, which is understandably popular, but not as many of the steerhide. Just curious if anyone can speak to, or post pics of, the wear over time on the CXL steerhide compared with the HH. I assume it would have the same fairly rapid evo typical of CXL...

    FS: Flathead Delraiser horsehide moto jacket 44 (very nice!)

    I've decided to put this one up for sale. It's a beauty. Shinki horsehide, very high quality Japanese made jacket. (It has probably the nicest lining I've ever seen..) I will post below the description by Self Edge, who sells this jacket, as well as pics of me wearing it. I am 6' and about...

    Vanson with interesting Navajo blanket lining.

    Trying to decide if it works or not..

    Flathead moto jacket pics.

    So, yes, it is an embarrassingly expensive jacket, but at least I got it used so it was only one kidney rather than two.. And it is returnable if I decide the fit is not right. But I have to admit, I love this jacket. Just unpacked it today and tried it on, and here are the pics. Feedback...

    FS: Lost Worlds Buco Rider, horsehide jacket, 42.

    Very slightly used LW cafe racer, with distinctive chest pocket. A real beauty. Size 42. Link to my ebay listing, with pics: http://www.ebay.com/itm/252585964201?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

    100% cotton flannel for a jacket liner..? Any feedback?

    Looking at fabric swatches for relining a Lost Worlds jacket, and am wondering about flannel? I know wool tartans are the order of the day, but wondering if anyone has jackets with real flannel lining? (The swatches I have are about 7 oz.) I am worried of course that flannel might be a bit...

    What are the chances of me finding a stray Buco label..?

    I mentioned earlier that I am planning to reline a jacket -- a Lost Worlds Buco rider -- and it occurs to me it would be cool to get a vintage/repro Buco label to attach to the new lining. Any ideas on how to find one? Though actually I'd be open to other sorts of interesting labels, if...

    Looking for a source for tartan linings.

    I've got a used black leather jacket coming in soon and am planning to have it relined. I've a guy who will do it, but I need to get my own fabric. Wondering if there is anyplace to get good tartan lining without having to order from the UK..? (I am in the US.) Also interested in possibly a...

    getting a leather jacket relined -- tips?

    Curious if anyone here has had a leather jacket relined, and if so how expensive it was, how'd it turn out, etc? There's a jacket I am thinking of picking up, but really don't like the lining. Wondering about getting it relined with a cotton plaid, wool tartan, or perhaps red drill. Any...

    FS: Himel Bros/Goodwear Californian Ventura jacket (44)

    I have decided (with great reluctance!) to sell this beautiful and unique collaboration jacket between two giants of contemporary jacket-making -- Himel Bros and Goodwear Leather (John Chapman). I got the jacket a few months ago from another FL member, and I will let it go for what I paid. It...

    Aero black FQHH -- Nickel or Brass zips..?

    Still working through fit jackets here, but will one way or another end up with a black FQHH Aero, probably a Half Belt with zip sleeves. So am thinking of options (instead of doing my work!). What do you all think about nickel vs brass for a black jacket? Nickel is more standard of course...

    Deal of the Day -- Goodwear/Diamond Dave cafe racer

    Highwayman fit jacket pics -- looking for feedback.

    Thinking of ordering a Highwayman, and got a fit jacket from the always helpful Carrie. I am 6' about 185, and this is a 40. I am not concerned about color or zips & pockets, as I will end up with a different configuration -- just with fit. Thanks! (Strikes me that my wife was angling the...

    Lost Worlds Buco cafe racer pics.

    The Lost Worlds jacket has arrived. Fit seems pretty good to me, albeit just a bit tight around my recently expanded 51-year-old gut. It may well be a keeper, though I am just a bit hesitant about the style. I am old guy, riding an old-guy style motorbike (Royal Enfield), and I wonder if I...

    Cafe racer options -- Aero, Lost Worlds, Ironheart?

    I am still on the cafe racer theme, and thanks to those earlier who responded to my question about collar comfort. So... looking at some CR options, and interested in feedback, either based on looks of the jackets alone or on experience of wearing them. No doubt there are other good options...
