    Johnson Leather Jacket

    @Jin431, Thanks buddy. I was curious about the snaps. It seems like they use more than most makers (my 618 only has 1 in the back). With the fur collar off, do all those snaps bother/rub on your neck at all?

    What jeans are you wearing today ?

    Thanks Bfd. I was kinda hoping they had a little bigger pocket bag.

    What jeans are you wearing today ?

    Hi guys. Just a quick question about pocket depth. Any makers out there with bigger front pockets? I have some Brave stars and I just stuck an opened tape measure in the front pocket. I get 7" deep on both my pairs. I wish they were a little bigger. I am really tempted to bite the bullet and...

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    Hi guys. For all you guys with detachable collars from JL, how are they attached? I am assuming they use snaps? How many? How do you like it? Just looking for a little info about JL's collars. Thanks.

    Biker gloves, what to get?

    I tried to post some close ups of the leather and stitching. The gauntlet ones are supposed to be from their comp. weight leather, but I don't think it is. The gloves were rather soft from the get go and not super thick.

    Biker gloves, what to get?

    This summer Vanson ran a 15% off sale and I really wanted to give the Gauntlet ones another try. I went ahead and ordered the mediums and they were rather tight in the hand. I could get the gauntlet over my cuff but no way could I zip them. I called up Vanson and talked to Mike (the owner). He...

    Biker gloves, what to get?

    I always wanted some Vanson X ray gloves. I ordered a pair of the gauntlet ones about 5 years ago. I ordered their recommended size medium. I got the gloves and they were super cool. They were snug to put on. The gauntlet part barely fit over the sleeve of my Schott perfecto and there was NO WAY...

    Biker gloves, what to get?

    First up are my oldest ones from Fox Creek Leather. I believe they still sell these. Mine are about 15 years old. They are the deerskin lined with thinsulate. These have been my cold weather gloves for a long time. They have held up well and still serve their purpose. My hands are always the...

    Biker gloves, what to get?

    Hi guys. With the temps falling and the leaves changing, fall riding season is upon us. I figured I would leave my thoughts on the 3 pairs I have.

    An example of Vanson's new Comp Weight when (almost) Fully Broken In

    That is a stunning example of what Vanson used to be. Amazing. Wish I could go back in time and scoop up some model E's in a few different sizes.

    An example of Vanson's new Comp Weight when (almost) Fully Broken In

    My last dance with Vanson (circa 2016?) went kinda like this. The comp weight had some controversy surrounding it at the time. I first ordered a model E in a size 48. The hide was pretty good on that one, I posted pics somewhere of that one. @JMax recommended to size down for m/c use and he was...

    Wearing a Vanson CHP with belt or without

    They discontinued the jacket some time ago. I think it would be an easy fix to the Vanson belt. I am eventually going to add the snap to my 618.

    Wearing a Vanson CHP with belt or without

    I am sorry I don't have a pic. I am not that savvy. Legendary USA had a nice belt on their D pocket jacket they made a few years ago. Their belt had 2 "horizontal loops" on the belt in the back. These "horizontal loops" went over the vertical loops on the jacket. Looked like a nice design to...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I almost got 2 firsts for my 618 today. I have yet to have it in the rain. We had a LIGHT shower so I put on my 618 and took the m/c to get beer before the game. As I was walking in the gas station a young boy (maybe 12) carrying a very large pop said "nice jacket". That was my first compliment...

    Wearing a Vanson CHP with belt or without

    I have a love/hate relationship with belt. I love the way they look. Like you said, they kinda finish off the look of the jacket. I also love a nice snug belt when riding a motorcycle. They are a bit cumbersome and they tend to bang into things. I always have to be careful of the buckle when...

    LW Moose hide LT/A and J-24

    Thanks for the great/pic heavy write up. I love the j-24. You really nailed the fit again on that one. I am eager to see how the moose will age. I am GUESSING it will age like goat?? Do you think it will show wear and crease in the sleeves? Will it repel or absorb water? Glad you are pleased...

    Leather Jacket Question for Athletic Build

    All I can say is: GOOD LUCK. Your body type is the hardest to fit. Bodybuilders (the real deal, not just a guy who works out), who are leather jacket enthusiasts are VERY rare. NO MAKERS make a stock jacket to fit this very rare type of body. You will have to go custom if you want a fit like on...

    Cross zip nation

    Your jacket turned out great. Thanks for taking the time to update us and document the process. I hope we see this jacket many more times in the WJAYWT thread. I bet the hand dying process is going to age VERY well. Great job from start to finish.

    First Post, Big thanks and a new Highwayman

    Thanks for the update and pics. It's always fun to see all the new jackets, but it is also awesome to watch these jackets come to fruition. Looking good.
