If any of you has been looking for a Buco J-22/23/24 cross-zip repro, the acclaimed one from Legendary USA (built for them by Schott) is back in production after a 10 year hiatus, but only 100 jackets will be made.
Pricing is quite reasonable, too, only a slight bump compared to the original price, so I ordered one when I saw it. I’d been hunting it on the used market for a few years but it always hovers at around 8-900 which seemed a bit much for used.
There seems to be an incorrect size chart that was just posted on the item listing by mistake. Based on the measurements I confirmed with them when I ordered, I’d say the key measurement to get right is the hem. The hem runs one size smaller than you’d expect (20” on the size 42, for instance) but the chest runs an inch wider, for a sharp V-shape, so I went 42 even though I’m a 40.
