Thanks! It’s a size 44. I’m 6’2 205 for reference if that helps.

Ok, cause if it was a 40, I was going to offer a trade for my J24L

Ah got it. If it was a 44 that would be tempting. In regards to your tri jacket, I saw another post somewhere (can’t remember if it was TFL or SF) who purchased the same jacket and talked about the boxy body, so I think that is just how the fit is. The fit looks good in your pic though.

Yeah, I only saw the jacket on the owner before I ordered it, it looks great on him. but, who knows, his could've been a one-off custom, before they went into production. Like i said, the shoulders and arms fit me perfect, almost like a shirt, so I can't really layer at all. I was seriously tempted to return it, but I decided to give it a try, see if the leather softens and settles a bit. I have the J24L like yours! I'll post a pic soon!! I have a seriously problem with buying jackets... LOL!!!!!

Makes for nice beachwear.. take it for a swim.

I like mine, a nice jacket that didn’t break the bank.

@Jin431, you are giving @Marc mndt and @Carlos840 a run for perfect fits! I am soooo envious.

Watch out now! Coming through! Just kidding lol Thank you that's very kind of you, fits have been better as of late now that I've dialed my measurements! I wanted to go vintage too but it's a little hard to find sizes for me so made to order it is, I plan to have atleast one vintage though.

Why can't you make up you mind about the Ship John jacket? It's a nice jacket and it looks great on you! I like SJ's products; I'm just not crazy about how they treat their customers... I had plans to buy 2 jackets and a pair of boots from them, but they screwed me over on a shirt that I bought, so bye bye Ship John!

@Merv, curious to hear about your run in with Ship John. There is a dedicated Ship John thread, feel free to post there if you’d like to share it.
I think we can all benefit from hearing the good and bad about any company.

Thought I would post my Buco after I saw Hoipac post his beautiful J24 of the same ilk. Mine is the J24L which is a tad bit longer. It took me like 3 years to save and muster up the courage to buy this jacket. I purchased it from Standard and Strange, awesome bunch of people btw! Ya got to admit, those Japanese craftsmen really know their stuff. This jacket is the pinnacle of vintage repros. I still don't know how they do it... sorcery??

I completely agree, it’s definitely my favorite for a reason. Perfect fit! I really like the length on the J24L.

Love this! Great outfit and spectacular jacket!

 

[Motocann]

Haha! Ya got me! I never put the fur collar on, it interferes with my helmet, but for my brothers on FL I guess I can make an exception...

Could be, but I can't say for sure since I picked this up second hand. I haven't handled enough to be able to tell, but whatever it is I dig it.

You may have some lingering regrets moving on that vintage piece but you can console yourself in your kicka** new Buco.

Love this! Great outfit and spectacular jacket!

Thanks, man! You're crushing it as usual with your customs, and I noticed you sporting some selvedge jeans the other day. How you liking them so far?

Super cool that you wear it while riding! Golly that is special! Can't wait to get my own D pocket with a detachable shearling collar! Thank you so much for sharing!

Thank you, I'm comfy with MTO jackets for now but I wish I can try on other brands in store so I can go try OTR sizing as well. I've only worn the indigo selvage 3x and it's only 12.5 oz so I haven't really noticed any difference . I recently received a 21oz black denim but I have to get it hemmed first but that's uncomfortable to even try on lol

What is the back length on your jacket and which size is? It looks amazing!

What is the back length on your jacket and which size is? It looks amazing!

The length is about 25", this is a size 40. The sizes range from 36 to 46. These jackets run old school "true to size" meaning the size number is roughly equivalent to the chest circumference.
