    Leather jacket sizing, too big or small?

    For that kind of money you could go to Johnson Leathers (just to name one example) and get an absolute top quality, high-end, custom, built-for-a-lifetime leather jacket with the leather of your choice and support a small honest business which will have a personal contact with you. And yet you...

    Vanson! Vanson! Vanson!

    I actually had a chopper as well, but didn't like it nearly as much. Assuming S is 36 then it was the same size as my model E, but it fit too wide at the waist and definitely too long in the body. Loved the quilting and shoulder gussets though!

    Vanson! Vanson! Vanson!

    If I'd have to pick one jacket to keep out of all the ones I have/had then it would be my model E.

    High Rise Jeans

    I can understand how rise can be tricky when you have more of a \/ at the hips area and your waist/belly is wider than your hips. No matter the rise the denim just keeps ending up at the same location (unless you use suspenders?) and the main thing that changes is how much extra space you have...

    Fully decked out in black for once with my newly arrived Pinion 25oz denim. Vanson E + Red Wing engineers covering the leather duties.

    Vanson! Vanson! Vanson!

    I think that you need to take the intended market into account as well - Japan market Vansons tend to have narrower sleeves if I'm not mistaken. But overall there are a lot of Enfield examples on TFL and the sleeves seem fine. We have had reports that the recent comp weight is rather...

    Rather due to narrow sleeves. I had the sleeves of one Vanson jacket broadened and it solved the issue.

    FS: Custom Aero Ridley Cordovan CXL FQHH - 46

    Oh I remember this one, very memorable jacket! This is where I got the idea to make a lining patch pocket for my hooch hauler.

    Vanson! Vanson! Vanson!

    Looks like a female model to me based on the proportions and the type of front drop it has. But I'm not an expert.

    New forum member brand (Rugged West)

    Saw that on IG today yeah. Looks fantastic, especially the leather on that one piece back! Really feels like RW is cementing itself among the top leather jacket players, especially in that price bracket.

    Aero Customer Service

    Pretty good if you get Denny, nothing to write home about otherwise. Just my experience / opinion. Obviously calling is the fastest way to get any info. I would not be surprised by slow response rate considering the recent sale.

    Regius Trojan 42

    Much too long, especially clearly seen when worn open. On the other hand half belts were historically slightly longer jackets, no?

    Finally pulled the trigger on a Y2 Shacket

    Personally I don't think it can possibly fit much better than that. Love the orange + green combo! Gorgeous!

    Crush On Retro

    @Motocann Some of the boots definitely look tempting for sure! And they seem to be using their own photos that are consistent across the pairs, which is a good sign.
