Black Stallion Horsehide Leather Motorcycle Jacket
One
of the best Leather Motorcycle Jacket styles of the 20th Century were
the J21, J22, J23 and J24 styles from the design house of Joseph F.
Buegeleisen of Detroit, MI. The company was better known as Buco. The
J24 was hailed as the "coolest motorcycle jacket ever" by Rin Tanaka,
motorcycle jacket historian and author of "Motorcycle Jackets - A
Century of Design" published by Shiffer Books. Due to their popularity,
vintage Buco Horsehide jackets fetch prices as high as $1000 or more on
eBay and other auction houses and vintage boutiques. New "Buco clone"
jackets are marketed at $1,000 (excluding belt) on other internet
websites.
