    Vanson model E

    I called Vanson last week to confirm the pit to pit on a new Size 40: they said 23". Which should be great. I have 2 to 3 weeks left until my Model E is finished. Brutal wait.... but not as long as the 96 days I waited for my horsehide White's Bounty Hunters I just received last Friday! (they...

    Aero Steerhide cafe racer board racer j-100 black leather jacket size 42

    If it was brass hardware I'd strongly consider it. ;) Not that I need another leather jacket with another one on order arriving in a few weeks, haha. Almost exactly like the 'model' here, I have a 43" chest, 5'11" tall, ~size 34" jeans, depending on the brand.

    FS: Branded Garments NYPD Police Jacket, sz. 42 - BNWT

    Does it have bi-swing gussets on the back?

    Vanson model E

    Thanks. Even though this was an older model, every single post I've seen on here suggests I should likely bump my size 40 to a 42.

    Vanson model E

    Thanks - but what’s the tag size for it so I can use your measurements for reference? (I have one on order)

    Vanson model E

    @Wdawg - nice! fit is perfect for you. You purchased it second hand? What's the tagged size and the pit to pit (zipped up)?

    FS - Johnson's Leather - Worn Out West

    Measurements por favor. P2P? Front length. Back length. IIRC Ton is a 44 in the Vanson Model E... and a 24.5" P2P on those?

    Thanks for the info! I'll measure when I get home tonight.

    Vanson model E

    I definitely like how the Model B fits, but I downsized aggressively to achieve a slim fit. The bi-swing back is AWESOME. I can barely slip another leather jacket on without this feature; it just feels... wrong. I have a 38 in the B, with P2P of 22". It was ordered ~2 years ago. I'm seeings E's...

    Vanson model E

    I understand that, however should I use Vanson's ease measurement, added to the size..... and trust that? Given the above information I shared on my Model B? Aka order one size up for a slightly looser fit? Or should I shoot for an actual pit to pit that's slightly larger?

    Vanson model E

    Man, that's concerning. The Model E is supposed to have the exact same 6.5" chest ease as the Model B (which I own), and my size 38 has a pit to pit of 22". I ordered a size 40 in hopes it's ~23"... but every other listing I've seen has a huge amount of variability in final pit to pit...

    Vanson model E

    @Wdawg - sweet, congrats! Anyone in here with a fairly recent Model E that's size 40 or 42 and can give me a pit to pit....?

    PM'd. Fit pics would be nice too.

    Vanson model E

    @ShadowBoxer - where in LA are you located? Debating ordering a 40 or 42. It would be nice to try yours on... is yours quilted or rayon? What's the pit to pit on your 42? Should be ~24.25"?

    This. Plenty of options that have or can accept armor at Vanson.

    Vanson model E

    Hah, it is a C2.... the forum went down today and didn’t even see this message and I already spotted this on eBay. I messaged the seller immediately. Not a fan of the nickel? chrome? Buckle as well as the pocket zipper pulls seem to be mismatched. She claims her husband outgrew it and it’s...

    Vanson Continental Daytona Thurston Bros. Cafe Racer Jacket

    Wish it was 1 size bigger.... GLWS

    Vanson model E

    Appreciate you looking out.. however this older model measures only 20” pit to pit. Where a modern one in size 40 would measure around 23.25”. I guess I can verify with the seller but this one likely wouldn’t work.

    Vanson model E

    There's two pretty nice Choppers for sale on eBay right now, size M and L.
