Over the years we've done a bunch of our vintage motorcycle
styles in a variety of customer-specified cottons, wools,
nylons, etc. The
Buco
J23 Motorcycle Jacket, by virtue of its desirability and
famous style, beckoned for a non-leather adaptation. However, it
was paramount that a textile J23 be a genuine, high-performance
LOST WORLDS jacket, not just a style exercise. We don't do style
exercises. Performance always comes first. To that end we
use 15 oz. Cotton Canvas or 14.2 oz. Indigo Denim in our new version J23, comfortable but extremely tough and
durable. The lining too is special, the same 14.2 oz. unwashed
Indigo Denim -- what could feel better than primo blue jeans
cotton against your torso when riding that looks sensational
too? All J23 features and details are retained. A great choice for guys
in warmer climates or who want an alternative to a leather
riding jacket that's serious, eye-catching and built
like a truck, like, in fact, all LOST WORLDS gear. These are,
incidentally, heavyweight jackets -- over five pounds -- heavier
than some leather ones we've seen, including (we kid you not) a
$2500.00+ J23 "replica" that wouldn't protect you if you fell
off a tricycle! We make this
also (see below) in two very high-performing NOS US military
textiles. All Brass Talon Zippers, Scovill Snaps. Genuine Nickel
Finished Brass Sam Browne Buckle. |
"I received the canvas J23 yesterday.
Actually spent most of the day wearing it and
marveling at everything about it.
It's simply evident that no effort has been spared
to recreate this J23 in textile form; from materials to the
craftsmanship and attention to detail.
Considering the cotton-based materials, the heft
to this indeed outweighs other leather jackets I've come
across (as described) - I should not be surprised Lost Worlds
can deliver on this.
Bravo to you and your team- this one is a keeper."
Incidentally - it stands to attention. (or
commands attention?)
