I bought two Vansons in their last 10% off sale three months ago. Still waiting for deliverly. Ordered a Stadium with shorter sleeves and a stock size 38 Thunderbird. Still eyeing the Maverick in that greyish roma hide and the Dakota in size 38 (my size 40 is sadly too large since I lost 15 lbs...
Just look at the pictures you posted yourself, all of them jackets fit very lose about the back, giving room and billowing and ofcourse this is picking apples vs whatever, bkt if you want a more accurate comparison, compare fit of Vanson Model B vs Vanson Enfield, identical jacket apart from...
I‘m with tony here. A leather seam does more than merely turning two slaps of leather into one. It also stiffens the leather along that seam because of the folded leather along the seam. Anyone breaking in a leather jacket will notice that areas with many seams are much stiffer and harder to...
Cost of living in the UK has surely gone up.
What I have also noticed is that how ten years ago, Aero was like almost the only leather jacket brand being discussed here and posted pictures of and these days, they cause much less buzz and the Aero share in jacket content has significantly...
Yeah, you are a 38. This 40 you can get away with but my personal experience with Vanson is, they grow bigger with break in, relaxing leather giving here and there, this jacket is one size too large, after break in, it will be 1.5 sizes too large.
edit: body from front does not look too bad...
Bill Kelso is lost on me. Fancy their California Half-Belt but neither in squeaky Badalassi nor in Vicenca (or whatever they call it) for the money they are asking. If they offered their jackets in some nice russet or dark brown goatskin for 700-800 GBP, I‘d probably buy one or two of their...
Johnson Leather Barneveld Remix in 4-4.5oz Horween Petrol Steerhide. One poor attempt of catching the true color and one quick fit picture on my way out to town.
The way their pricing goes up the past years, I would expect as much as go the extra yard for the customer. They are a 1000 GBP a piece now, that‘s two Vansons or a fully customized Johnson Leather.
Now, that was quick! Looking forward to seeing details on the A-2ish style, you sure make me check out Classifieds very frequently these days :D But I guess I already hit jackpot with the steerhide JL.
Again, very tempted, I love the shorter and wider but heavily tapered at the waist fit, much more so than the AnJ-3 in Shinki you sold just yesterday. Out of these two, this one here would‘ve been it for me, Shinki or not.
Alas, I am awaiting delivery of a Vanson Stadium and still have to break...
It‘s gorgeous and I wouldnt change a thing about these knits. They work well with both brown and black leather and black knits will look not work very well with that light brown leather imho. Olive is the much better balance between the two sides of the jacket.
Restarted my computer to get a good look at this but it appears to fit true to size and looks well-fit on you, so much likely too big on me. Judging by the Barneveld Remix, it is the ones that are snug on you that might work for me. Alas, not this one. Shame. Fantastic offer and I love the leather.
