Totally unique vintage Buco motorcycle jacket given to Chad McQueen by his Dad, Steve McQueen, the King of Cool… The Steve McQueen Sale took place on Sat, November 11, 2005 at the Petersen Automotive museum, LA. The auctioneers were Bonhams. 3 of Steve’s leather jackets were up for sale (see photos of catalogue & lots). She gave my brother this leather jacket too as a’thank you’. It had been given to Chad as a teenager by Steve when he first started riding bikes seriously. And here it is. It’s a stunning example of a classic American made leather jacket. Vintage Buco, I believe a J-22, with a well worn patina of killer cool. It’s a McQueen leather jacket after all! Stylish red & black plaid lining with a detachable mouton collar. Original zippers all work. There are some marks, scratches & scuffs because it was well used by Chad but these just add to the jackets stunning look. It still has a motorcycle washer in the pocket! Not just rare but a total one off! Pit to pit 18 inches. Shoulder to shoulder 18 inches. Due to the value of this item it will be sent first class & fully insured. It will also NOT be sent to the “usual suspect” countries! If you are a big Steve McQueen fan I have an extensive collection of memorabilia. The two leather jackets bought from the Bonhams sale – “an Indian painted motorcycle jacket” & “a good leather motorcycle jacket ” by Buco plus autographs, lobby cards and perhaps the finest Steve McQueen movie poster collection in the world.
