    New Vanson Oxford

    I would choose the Royale Enfield over the basic Enfield as it is a slimmer cut.

    New Vanson Oxford

    I I should have clarified..that’s across all of my hobbies..jackets, boots, knives, custom wood items... Everything I have kind of serves a different purpose, so I end up with about 4-5 items from each category.

    New Vanson Oxford

    I’m I’m hoping it comes out as a very deep rich indigo color.

    New Vanson Oxford

    Im I’m in 22 days of a 130 day wait for my Vanson. I strategically place orders for custom items so that I receive something every month or 2. Makes the waiting less painful.

    First Aero -New aeromarine, short review

    I think it will be hard to get a slimmer fit in this jacket bc of the the pattern it uses. Kind of like how you can’t get a tapered look with the original highwayman. You might want to look at Thedi offerings as they make patterns that are more slim than what Aero uses.

    Something stuck between leather and liner in shoes.

    White’s is sending me a new pair. I kind of want to know what’s stuck in between the leather. Lol I’m sure the shoes were made in a Fri evening or Mon morning!

    New Vanson Oxford

    I love the fit of this jacket. Their comp leather is breaking in nicely, but I understand that it’s a biker leather (thick corrected top grain). I use this jacket as a daily beater when the temps are 40F and below. The quilted lining is very warm and thick. The back area curves in...

    Ship John

    Got a knock-off Wills from iron & resin in 14oz waxed canvas. It is half the price but definitely a step below the Ship John. The iron & resin is a lot easier to wear, because of the lighter weight canvas and inclusion of a liner. Though, I wouldn’t have sold my Wills if it only came lined...

    Something stuck between leather and liner in shoes.

    I received my White’s Boots First Ave shoes today after a 3 month wait and to my dismay found something hard and round stuck between the leather and liner in the vamp. I don’t know if it’s a pebble or a hardened glob of glue. I can feel it with my fingers on the inside but not while wearing...

    FS: Vanson Enfield 40

    Were Vanson jackets sized smaller 20 years ago? My size 40 Oxford has larger measurements and the Enfield is supposed to be cut fuller than the Oxford. This leather is definitely nicer than mine though. Nice jacket!

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Seems to be pretty good as far as I can tell. I do prefer my boot leathers to be in the 5-6oz range though. It appears that all of Benzein’s leathers are in the 4oz range bc he uses liners in his shoes/boots.

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Benzein’s in Java olive pull-up. Overall, pretty impressed for $300. Pull-up leather is 4oz thick.

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    I have a pair of Benzein’s arriving tomorrow (Java olive pull-up Derby) and Flame Panda boots (Wesco Hendriks copy) on order. It’ll be interesting to see how much better the FP are compared to Benzein.

    I have a Vanson Oxford in abyss blue Bainbridge on order from Thurston. I also have one in comp weight and while that leather lacks character (1.6mm corrected top grain), it is the best fitting and most comfortable leather jacket I have. The shoulder and armpit gussets makes this slim jacket...
