    Vanson Sports Racing jacket, sz. 42/44

    I would snap that up in an instant if it were a size 40! My wife has a Vanson Cobra and it is her favorite riding jacket. I have Vanson's Sportrider jacket, which is basically the same pattern and have found it to work as well on a big 'ol upright Harley Road King, as on sport bikes. Anyone...

    Aero Thunderbay BlackFQHH red mouton collar size 50

    There. Louis, you can now read the comment (unless I'm also on your seemingly unending ignore list), a not unreasonable one and information just about anyone would want. Good luck with the sale.

    recommended cafe racer jackets

    I went with the Insurrection/ThurstonBros longer version, the PLU-3. I'm 5'11." The double-zipper arrangement on this jacket is a good feature to have so that one can unzip an inch or two, depending on the bike being ridden. Yes, that's right: some of us buy a special order jacket with...

    recommended cafe racer jackets

    Vanson Model B, Mercury, or House jacket. Insurrection/Thurston Brothers carry some custom-made variants, such as the PLU-3, Model B Deluxe and House Deluxe. I have the Schott Easy Rider and it really is a bit less "bright" in person than it appears to be in print.

    Why does Indiana Jones wear a leather jacket in the dessert?

    I believe that in the original "Red Dawn." the invaders were Cubans, backed by the Soviets. The Chinese were on "our" side, as explained by the downed U.S. pilot encountered by the young Wolverines.

    Aero Thunder Bay Sheepskin - Does it bat wing?

    My wife: "Don't you already have a revolver?" Me: "But honey, the cylinder turns the other direction on this one!" And Monitor, I can assure you, sir, you absolutely do have a need for the Schott 641xx. (There. My work here is done....)

    Breaking in a Vanson Chopper

    Matt, I too have a PLU-3, and am not sure on the S-M-L sizing of the Chopper. May I ask what size you have in each jacket, and how the roominess compares? The price you discovered seems a very good one. Thanks.

    Monitor's Aero FQHH Cafe Racer

    Monitor, I need to send you one of my Vanson Sportrider jackets to try so you can see what a truly short waisted jacket looks like....18" front length.......and they still look fine, all up past the belt and everything. (DISCLAIMER): Here in Oklahoma, a short waisted jacket is a necessity so one...

    Leather Monkeys Own Jackets - anyone have one?

    My jacket is one of the Insurrection special-order PLU-3s, made by Vanson. My normal size is a 40 and this is the size ordered in this particular jacket. I was told that the PLU-3 runs a good half-size small, or so.

    Good point, sir. I stand corrected!!! I wish that jacket had shorter sleeves, but then you wouldn't be selling it.....:)

    Leather Monkeys Own Jackets - anyone have one?

    I have exactly one CR that fits like that. It actually feels pretty good while riding the bike but I wouldn't want any more to be this "trim." Its only good with a tee shirt underneath and is not the choice of wear if any kind of buffet is in the game plan. A few weeks ago my wife and I were...

    Willabee & Ward leather M-65 field jacket

    Just enjoy it for what it is: a realized desire from your youth. One probably shouldn't expect the quality to be top-tier, as the product was advertised in Popular Mechanics, of all places. Probably next to an ad for a Ronco glass bottle cutter. It is pretty cool that you could identify and...
