A best-in-class reproduction of the classic “Café Racer” style - one of two jackets (along with the J-24 Double Rider) that put Joseph Buegeleisen’s Buco brand on the map almost a century ago.
The Real McCoy’s pay tribute to that legacy with this teacore leather homage. This is a vegetable-tanned and pigment-finished horsehide - a brown core with a deep black finish. As the years pass and the miles roll, this leather will develop a subtle brown cast in high-wear areas—just as the classics intended. It's beautiful from the get-go; shot through with a uniquely pebbled surface from the carefully selected hide.
Each J-100 is made, one at a time, by a single pair of hands. Entrusted to dedicated artisans at The Real McCoy’s Kobe HQ, no detail is overlooked; everything from the zippers to the brass DOT buttons to the full-cotton thread is made from scratch to era-accurate specifications.
Fit-wise, the J-100 honours the pattern of the original: slim through the arms and body for that authentic, racing cut. This is a gold-standard reproduction of an all-American classic.
