haha, I was this close to calling you a dick. great story man.dewjantim said:They really like the old Buco jackets also. I used to have one and watched the value go to $3000 (sold on ebay). I bought it from a friend for $100 and bugged him to death about how much it was really worth, it used to make him crazy. One of the customers on his paper route when he was a kid gave it to him in the mid 60's. It had belonged to the guy's son in the fifties. The son went to Korea and never came back. He saw George riding his motorcycle while passing papers and gave it to him, cleaned and in a clear plastic laundry bag..... just like new. He wore it for years until he got a little large for the jacket... lost his job and got in a hard place for cash so I bought it. I had so much fun driving him nuts about the jacket for 15 years. On his sixtieth birthday I gave it back to him.... I just love seeing a grown man cry......

Whoa, thats exactly what I am looking for (besides the metal flake 3/4 helmet I am currently working on) who makes that jacket?

I'm digging this jacket, since it kind of has that look the board track racer jacket I posted has, and the zippers are pretty cool features... but it's way out of my price range!! I wonder where I can find this for less....?
the multi-zippers on the jacket other then the center front zipper are for style appearance only and are not zippers for hidden vents.
Louis | Costa said:I wouldn't either
Does anyone know what would be similar to this jacket? I'm sure there are motorcycle jackets that look as cool as this out there:

I love these jackets. diagonal zipper, but no big goofy fonz collar. An example of the seemingly more common style thats similar but I dont like:
See, the collar is too big and it looks like.. well like the fonz wore it.
I have a vintage red leather jacket very similar to the one in the first pic, and occasionally Ill see them on ebay, but its always so annoying having to search through thousands of vintage jackets on ebay (most of them non motorcycle, or womens styles) just to find one or two of these. Also Id like to know if anyone makes these new, so far all I can find new are the fonz knockoffs.
