For once I’m happy for my dithering and procrastination. The price changed a bit during my dithering which had me wondering, not about the maker, but about the company. Now I’m being bombarded with buy now emails.
I was head of sales and marketing for a Cat dealership back in the day…. If I’d...
Thanks! Yeah I remember the 641HH… just missed it on eBay and messaged you right after it went poof. We’re almost identical build. But I’m 11 years older! Schott size-o-meter has me at 42.
What I’m really hoping to find is a good used Vanson C2 or E.
I forwarded the eBay link to TJ and he says it’s not his jacket, but he’s keeping an eye out for this guy to try selling the one he scammed off of him.
Definitely not unwearable but I like my jackets snug. The arm width between the elbow and shoulder is a bit too wide too.

I read once saddle soap helps rid the new leather of any residual remains of whatever treatment the leather undertook, chemicals and such. Made sense to me.
It waterproofs, moisturizes and softens. It’s just what I’ve been doing. I’m not saying it’s necessary or required on a new jacket, and for a brown leather jacket as an example, I use a different balm such as Cobblers Choice. Dubbin will make it shiny and darken the leather too, at least for a...
Best MC jacket I own. Fits like a 2nd skin and so comfortable on the bike. Open up the zip a little and it cools down, zip it right up and nice and warm. Vanson got this right.
Any new jacket purchase, whether it’s new or used, gets a good saddle soap treatment and balm of my choice which is...
