Real McCoy Buco J-25?

[polloelastico]

Holy cow, I just stumbled upon this jacket but since I'm in the US I can't order it (or rather, they won't ship it to me). Anyone know how to procure one of these?

Is model new, or just much unloved?

They have a shop in London - Try contacting them, they might be able to help you.

They have a store in NY still I believe? It used to be affiliated with Blue in Green Soho but is now it's own entity. There are also proxy buying companies like Sutocorp. You could also check out Rakuten Global. It's a kind of Amazon for Asia and many stores will ship worldwide. Although RMC have cracked down on anyone but them selling their products overseas.

I heard that the NYC store is gone. I just saw some at Standard & strange in Oakland, CA. They don't have this model though.
There is info on proxy service here:

S&S may be able to get it even if it's not in stock at their store. I recommend talking to Neil over there. Great guy and if he can't get it for you, he'll probably tell you where you can.

I will contact S&S, thanks for the tip! Sure it hard to find actual measurements of that style, the ones on the RMC site are not helpful at all. I worry the sleeves will be too short proportionally.

Great profile pic, I don't remember that bit in the Godfather...

Looks pretty nice, but did you notice the "bunched" area when most 50's HB models would have side "straps" of leather for adustment? It seems to mimic a Bomber jacket as it looks elastic (look close at the Back photo). Just FYI...that would be a deal breaker for me.

I liked it too, until I noticed that detail.

Many period jackets had that instead of straps (Sportclad, Windward, etc.). Though I prefer straps as well.

Yeah the elastic kills it for me. I'd go Aero Sheene/Seven or 30's HB over this guy. The back design is attractive but that elastic cinch panel hurts my eyes, despite its authenticity.

That elastic stuff is the worst. I don't mind the accordion style panels but this elastic/bunching is hard to even look at.

 

[polloelastico]

I really dig the back design, but I agree that the bunching up thing is kind of painful. Maybe in person it's not that bad...

Elastic like that reminds me of two things: diapers and dad pants. Plus, elastic can dry rot. I'm not a fan

It's worse.
