FS: 2014 Vanson AR3 - 40

[LightenUpFrancis]

$375 Shipped within Continental U.S. (please add 3% for Goods & Services, if preferred)

This 2014 Model A in comp weight is designed to accept a full compliment of armor (not included for this listing), with sewn internal velcro attachment points accessible through a zip in the main body lining. I have ridden in this jacket a handful of times, and while the break-in is underway, this jacket still has plenty of "body" to be worked through. Aside from light abrasion points at seam folds and a minor scuff on the right shoulder, this is in very gently used condition. I've simply realized my Model A fit is a 38.

Standard Build Model A (Armored) - 40

Comp weight cowhide
Brass hardware
Black Rayon lining w/zip for armor placement (armor not included with jacket)
Vanson branded main & Lenzip sleeve zips
Plastic Vanson branded main zip keeper box

Letting this one go to fund a dream amplifier purchase. Priced to sell with room for resale value if it's not a fit - I try to do this with the understanding that I can't accept returns, but want to help this community however I can. If you have any questions, need any additional measurement photos, date verified photos, video, etc. - please don't hesitate to ask; I'm easy to reach and happy to help. Cheers!

This is cool, did you have the armour pouches custom sewn by a tailor?

Edit: Ah I see it appears they were from the factory.

Yes, the attachment points are factory made by Vanson. While some collaborations with Union Garage or Butterscotch LBC have pockets or attachable armor pouches, the AR3 is a little more rudimentary in design; Vanson opts for a more exposed orbital Velcro system that is both easier to finely adjust armor placement, and offers greater movement/articulation when on the bike.

I only say this having owned a couple of AR3s, as well as the legendary armored V7, Robinson, and Territory jackets.
