Vanson! Vanson! Vanson!
Octagon Chopper and HD Cycle Champ in the bottom pic; top pic is Model B (or A?) but what is the perforated cross zip? Never seen that before.- abone

Five Star Leather Jackets
I haven’t worked with Urad, is it part die, part conditioning? Wouldn’t mind my new Vanson C being a little more brown.- abone

Five Star Leather Jackets
Very impressive @ton312. That is a kickass coat! Now get yourself a ‘70 340 4 spd Duster in lime green, with an 8 track, and your life will be complete. That jacket deserves ‘70 Mopar! You apply Urad brown right on top of the top coat or is there more to it?- abone

Vanson! Vanson! Vanson!
I called Vanson this morning and spoke to Kim. She said the jacket was probably built in 1989 and confirmed its comp weight. Embossed ID #’s came in early 90’s. Mine would have the # written with chalk inside under the lining.- abone

Tried my kitchen scale which is more sensitive and goes to 9 lbs. The jacket weighs 5.75 lbs with belt and 5.25 without.- abone

Many thanks to @ton312 who first told me about the C and it’s slightly longer profile. Didn’t know such a beast existed so started the hunt.- abone

Thanks! My luggage scale might not be very accurate but it did surprise me coming in at 4.5. The leather feels thick enough. To be honest I was surprised my Raid weighed the same because it feels like a tank.- abone

Vanson! Vanson! Vanson!
Picked up my new to me Vanson Model C in size 44 today. According to the seller he’s the original owner, bought at Vanson in Boston in 1990. No identifier # in the pocket so not sure when they started to stamp their jackets. Maybe someone here knows? All talon zips. Previous owner says it’s comp...- abone

I’ve been following this one. Sold then a couple days later reappeared under a different seller. P2P seems tight for a 44. The leather is superb!- abone

How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?
I’ve got a ‘90 Vanson C in 44 on its way, I’ll be 2nd owner. Contrast stitching in brown comp weight. Doesn’t have the snaps on the belt loops but otherwise looks good. Hope it fits!- abone

Vanson CR 40
Me thinks the jacket fits well. When I walked into the house after picking it up my supreme commander says “you bought another stupid jacket??……..ooh I like that one”! Thanks @KBlake- abone

The length looks fine for casual wear. If you rode, then it might be annoying unless as @JMax suggested you install a two-way zip. But you don’t ride so it’s a non issue. You’ve got some room for layering too. With my Chopper it’s like a second skin so can only wear two thin layers, nothing...- abone

Vanson! Vanson! Vanson!
I have a Vanson Oxford (9D) in a 42. Whidbey cowhide which is 1.5mm thick, same as Comp Weight. Carrie at TB assures me it’s their standard 42 measurements, no changes. Hope this helps @mumpy. I’ve got a custom Oxford on the way and used these measurements. Fits me perfectly at 5’10, 180, 42”...- abone
