Hunting a buco j-100

[el_gato]

Hey guys,
I'm currently hunting a real mccoys buco j-100 jacket in size 38. Anyone know a shop in europe that has one in stock?

Alternative suggestions are welcome. High quality simple board racer jacket with one piece back and no padding, no buckles etc wanted.

Kind regards

Two piece back, but this is an option:

Edit: Actually, the one piece back is an option!

While the Board Racer is close it lacks the right collar configuration and the pockets and back are wrong. You could probably get Aero to modify the collar - they make a version that is more like the Buco for Thurston Bros.

Aero have some racers in stock too if you check out their website. Not sure about a 38.

Real McCoys has a store in London, but I think they are out of 38s at the moment. I PM'd you two other options.

Himel's Kensington is a great alternative.

Plus one on the Himel Bros. Stunning jackets, probably a similar price point to RM I would think?

How about a real one? I have a sz 40 steer J100 in cream

As for a repro id do a Diamond Sportswar if I were buying one (quality to price ratio)

He did say Europe.

 

[bretron]

Well, aren't you the charmer

A DD would still be cheaper and better than an RMC. My backup choice would be an Aero in Vicenza

I've got a DD in Shinki on order, should only be a week or two away now.....I'll post a review when it arrives.

@bretron There was a cream j100 on eBay size 40 just recently....yours?

 

[bretron]

No but I'm hoping it sold for a song because I'm looking to part with mine

Btw hoping third time's the charm?

 

[Seb Lucas]

Bit sensitive there, Bretron. Just pointing out the original specs.

As it happens I would do the DD myself over all the others.

Seb,

Sorry just been dealing with a barrage of BS lately- in the real world and to a large extent on the interwebs. I'm rather edgy; pardon my taking it out on you

 

[Seb Lucas]

That's cool. I once answered a post with some lengthy, "helpful" advice only to realize I was talking about the wrong jacket.

It went for just under £500 so not bad.

Thank you so much for sharing this. I have not come across another until now!! Mine was a close friend's father's, who passed away about a yr ago. He had a whole mess of cool stuff including this j100 and two full sets of Langlitz leathers

I tried searching Diamond Sportwear but it turned to be jersey maker for team sport or company uniform, probably this is what you originally meant

Ahh yes "clothing company" not "sportswear". Bingo

contacted them. real deal doesn't have the appropriate size. Waiting for the other shop to reply.

Is the diamond j-100 comparable to the real mccoys quality wise?

As good or better.

Monitor: Have you compared the two jackets?

EG: The RMC is spectacular! The quality is second to none. Every detail is superlative. That said, I have heard very good things about DD's jackets. I do not have any first hand knowledge, but the word on the street is that DD does very good work.
