The Real McCoys

The Real McCoy's Buco Cotton Canvas Riding Vest Black

Description

Buco was a famous leather jacket manufacturer founded in 1933 as the 'Joseph Buegeleisen Co', and were one of the first producers specialising in motorcycle accessories and bags. A few years later they developed their full apparel line promising "Motorcycle jackets, gloves, caps, belts & bags all cut and sewn by lifelong craftsmen to the task at hand". Manufacturing was maintained entirely at an in-house factory, allowing the brand to produce the highest quality leather jackets available on the market at the time. The horsehide rider’s jackets produced during 1940s-50s are considered their iconic pieces. The Real McCoy's have acquired the licence to produce the brand and do so with due diligence and expertise in Japan. This Vest from The Real McCoy's references vintage alpaca vests worn by the US Navy & inspired the N1 Deck Jacket. After returning from service many of these pieces became surplus, and often Bikers would embrace similar pieces layered underneath denim or leather. Cut in Japan from a cotton canvas shell, the Buco Vest is fully lined with a wool/alpaca mix lining, and includes two side pockets and a 50's style front zipper. - 100% cotton canvas - Lining: 80% Wool / 20% alpaca - Inspired by vintage vest/N1 jackets - Two side pockets - 50's style oval front zipper w/nickel finish - Cotton sewing thread construction - BJ25103 - Made in Japan
