Buco J-100 "Waist Length"
c. 1950's
This is a "Test" jacket and is Made in the USA!!
This jacket is made of 3.25 oz, Steer-hide, of the Tombstone family, in both black as well as mid brown.
This is the first of our line of redesigned jackets, based on the venerable styles of Buco, Detroit. This jacket
has been changed from the standard riding length, to a new waist length version, and has the addition of
a deco style D-Pocket added to the front for a classic, yet modern style.
This jacket will have a Retail price of $1049.00 USD when introduced on our website, but here is a chance to own it now at a deep discount.
Lining: 100% Cotton Drill in "Roman Red"
Pocket Lining: Super Heavy Flannel Canvas
Zippers: Main zip is a #5, Nickel, Talon reproduction by Waldes Japan. Complete with correct 1950's slider and pull. Includes extremely heavy
100% Cotton tape, just like those that would have been used by the many of the garment makers of the day.
Also includes Bell pull Talon reproduction by Waldes to each sleeve and chain pull Talon copy to the D-Pocket and Diamond Pulls to the chest pockets.
Label: Completely accurate, reproduction, Satin label in correct style and color.
The jacket in question is a size 48, Bear in mind that these jackets fit differently than most of the modern "Mall" jackets sold today.
As such, please see the dimensions for this jacket and you will understand the sizing better. The original jackets seem to have had a standard +4" increase, form ones own measurement, and are labeled as such.
This is seen also in styles such as the fantastic A-2 jackets of the similar period.
This simple pattern has an extremely flattering "V" shape and will complement most men and
just look great on the streets in any general fashion application!!
Shipping: Is via USPS PRIORITY with Insurance and tracking where available
