    Vanson! Vanson! Vanson!

    Thanks for this. Amazing differences in size and fit! Agreed, that the brass one looks and fits much better,. Shame about the narrow sleeves. I have the same issue in an Aero BR (only with one out of several I have had over time), and it ruins it a bit for me.

    Searching for natural veg tan

    Both Aero and Simmons Bilt will built you any model out of their range with a natural horsehide. If you´re after the look of the SB/VVanishing point collab, you can try with the Premier Highwayman or maybe a 1930´s Halfbelt from Aero. Both have button cuffs by default. You will need to...

    New member, starting up a crazy JL 6oz leather jacket order

    Here’s The Bull. A good example that thick doesn’t need to equate impractical. The leather has already softened up considerably and works reasonably well as a daily driver. Mind you, it will never behave like a 1,3 mm jacket the same way a winter wetsuit will never wear like a pair of...

    Seeking the Holy Grail of Leather: In Quest of the Perfect Asymmetrical Jacket

    Yes, a lot like that. Conipel has a more even structure, while the „saddle-horse“ leather Y2 uses has the typical stretch marks of some horsehide. Temper and texture is very much alike with Conipel being a lot stiffer before break-in

    Seeking the Holy Grail of Leather: In Quest of the Perfect Asymmetrical Jacket

    A velvety horsehide cross-zip with “velvety” leather.? Easy! The Shop Vancouver offers the Y2 “Double Rider” in what they call “saddle-horse” leather. The jacket is super substantial yet feels so luxurious like you wouldn’t believe. Construction and - if you care - stitching is en par with...

    Fake Schott Made in usa cafe racer?

    Just let it slide. It’s just not worth the trouble. You got what you paid for. Unless the seller specifically said, that jacket WAS made in USA there wasn’t even a misrep. Plus, I fail to see how and why somebody would (1) source an original SCHOTT „Made in USA“ Label, (2) fix it on the...

    Vanson c2 - 42 - fit check

    I can totally relate. Crazy how the mind plays tricks on us! I used to run on next to zero body fat, and I always felt like all my jackets were to loose on me. Post-COVID, I put on some weight (age being a factor as well at 52), amd now I need to make a conscious effort not to size up and up as...

    Iade Leathers Review

    Great write-up, Ivan! I had the same impression as @TartuWolf. looking at the website doesn´t do anything do me, but that jacket of yours: just looks and fits you to the nuts! Especially liked the reduced specs, narrowing the focus to construction and leather which both seem to be really...

    FS: Lost Worlds Ryder (sz. 42)

    Selling my Lost Worlds Ryder from early 2020. Arguably (on of) the nicest horsehide around. Not very thick, not very heavy - just your perfect every day hide. The grain on the left shoulder side is going crazy, so beware of you don´t like offensive graining. This is a stock size 42...
