Looks like it was cut knowing it would someday land on oyur doorstep.
Perfect, SF. Quite literally perfect.
You should use this jacket as a template for any future bespoke project.
I love the close up of the collar. Many would consider this a shoddy stitching, especially compared to any repro done today but I think it's just perfect. That's why these jackets were so cool.
Thanks Ivan. I could not agree more about the stitching, and other details. The stitching on repro jackets from high end manufacturers is infinitely better. The inside seam where the lining meets the bottom of the jacket is comically uneven. If this were a new jacket, I would be meaningfully disappointed. On the other hand, as a vintage piece representative of the workmanship of its era, it is perfect.
It looks like it is pretty much unworn! And it fits you very well.
If you can, would you mind uploading a few pictures of the jacket itself rather than fit pics.
I would love to see mroe close ups of it.

That is a nice one. Many of them are too tired.For me, there is a fine line between aged/patinaed/worn and tattered/destroyed/falling apart. One of the things that I love about this Buco is that it is definitely worn and aged, but not tattered and falling apart.

What is next in vintage for you?

Question: what color is the stitching on that old Buco? Some of the old Bucos listed on Ebay look like they used olive stitching (like Thurston does now on their Buco orders) but sometimes the stitching looks black. Can't figure out what is historically accurate...
