The amazing LOST WORLDS rendering of the highly regarded J23 BUCO Horsehide Motorcycle Jacket from the old Joseph Buegeleisen Co. of Detroit. (Identical to J22 except J22 had wool lining.) Originals often command excessive sums on the vintage market. 

A remarkable, stunningly beautiful D-pocket 4+ oz. Black Horsehide Motorcycle Jacket from the 1950s. The best Horsehide in the world, and not by a little! Inimitable LOST WORLDS authenticity, quality and workmanship. A lifetime purchase: Correct horsehide jackets routinely outlive their owners and are passed down as heirlooms. (Yes, there's as much difference between different makers' horsehide as between cars, people, galaxies!) There are some who think mere hype separates a $1200.00 jacket from cheaper jackets. Are a Porsche Carrera and Hyundai separated merely by hype? Yet, we do believe that for some, many even, a cheaper, thinner, softer jacket might serve their needs better than one of ours. Not everyone needs something like our dreadnought Buco J23. These are for a special kind of rider. The knowledgeable know from experience the extraordinary protection a LOST WORLDS Horsehide jacket can afford in potentially serious road mishaps. Our jackets are equipment, pure and simple, not fashion. If your bike sports safety and speed modifications yet you consider a jacket just a weather or fashion accessory, speak to real riders. They know.

Unlike weaker hides, genuine Chrome-Tanned Heavyweight Horsehide never loses strength as it softens and molds to its owner. Its beauty and comfort always increase without losing durability and protection -- why old manufacturers and riders always preferred Horsehide. (Yet even among originals variations in horsehide quality exist, the difference being that back then there were, generally, great and good hides. Today the field is MUCH narrower and, unsurprisingly, more duplicitous (i.e., cowhide being passed off to unwary as horsehide).

American-made at our own LOST WORLDS NYC factory, of course, sewn to standards that simply must be seen to be believed. Quality that at the very least equals, but routinely exceeds, originals. Examine the close-ups above; the detailing, precision, articulation; the extraordinary tightness of our stitching. Then look at other, even expensive, jackets. You be the judge. Quilted 100% Pure Nylon Lining, Detachable Lamb Shearling (Mouton) Collar. Bi-swing Back. Brass Talon Zippers. 

For those who've dreamed of owning a BUCO but could never find their size, the condition they desired or one reasonably priced. A lifetime purchase, like every LOST WORLDS classic. Those who believe that originals are it and nothing else ... back to eBay!
