That's funny, I also have a custom comet in brandy roma. Mine looks more like a tumbled natural cxl than anything else. I like it, but it's not what I was expecting either.

Perfect description. They need more leather options. Oh well, black z150 it is.

Yep, I was expecting something more like the octagon they used to offer.

Z150 is a good choice, I have it on a DRAC and like it.

I think my Vanson Oxford is still my best fitting jacket. It's definitely the most comfortable. Aesthetically, I go back and forth on whether the giant hardware looks good though View attachment 802649 View attachment 802650

Does the jacket squeak?

Anybody have a Maverick in brandy Roma? Curious to see how that ages and how it looks in general. Vanson’s product photos **** lol

I saw a number of jackets in brandy roma at their showroom in MA and I think it is a beautiful leather. Seemed somewhat stiff straight off the rack, but gives the impression it will break in nicely. I bought a Comet in black medium weight after having tried on the same in brandy roma and have often wished I picked the Roma. Not because I dislike the medium weight (it's actually incredibly comfortable), but they are just easier to come by. All the jackets in brandy Roma I've seen on TFL look amazing.

How’s the color tone on the brandy Roma? It seems to have a red hue to it. It’s more of a medium weight?

It’s kinda dull. I didn’t like it at all. Some brandy romas on here looked nicer than what I got. Maybe the older stuff was different?

Interesting. It looks nice in some of the pictures here but I know photos aren’t always accurate

Thats why I ordered it, but when I got it I wasn’t impressed at all.

I wonder if they would make it out of a different leather if I sourced it myself

They will, other members had it done.

I was aware that Vanson had done collaborations with Supreme, but I was not aware at how many they had done until the last few days checking Vinted.

There's also a huge amount of fake Vanson/Supreme Goretex shells and I honestly find extremely funny to see "Vanson Leathers" stamped in big letters on a Goretex jacket:

FYI, Vanson does manufacture non leather garments that have the "Vanson Leathers" patch on them. For example, the Vanson Trophy, a waxed cotton jacket.⬇

Yes, I've seen bomber and corduroy jackets too, but for some reason it just doesn't feel as funny or as wrong as seeing it stamped on a GTX panel.

Absolutely. They did it for me.

What leather did you have them use? How many square feet of hide did you need?
