    road less traveled for jacket nuts? the N-2B flight jacket...am i crazy 4 loving it?

    saw a couple of candian air force nylon jackets recently on ebay with mouton collars and a slant, or off to one side, zipper. loved them but were a size too small for me. not the parkas, but very cool (not temp wise, but culture wise)...might still be up there under canadian flight jacket or...

    NAME that Leather Jacket! Jack London...

    the mystery of jack london the mystery lives on. rubber fireman's jacket would make sense since he's apparently on a boat. my bad for posting this as a leather jacket. but not as bad as pcote :P p.s. this thread has offered me no closure on this issue.

    NAME that Leather Jacket! Jack London...

    def cool...but what loox like a badge holder (sorry for the contradict pcote) is actually there on every jacket closure...looks like the push through hardware to hold the closures in place, which with the collar, make it look like a sea navigation style jacket to humble litto me. of course he...

    N-2B REViEW...(of the rothco version) well, it arrived today, and a very nice piece that acquits the N-2B style well. hell, for $50 on amazon with $9.95 shipping, received in 4 days from order, it's great. that said, let it be known that while this has a 'mil' tag number, this is milspec in...

    Thoughts on New Vanson Enfield Sizing, (Photo Now Attached :-)

    v., your jacket looks like the perfect fit. i like mine one-half to one size up from that as i'm a poser, not a rider. but as for the fit in your pic, i can't imagine wanting it any tighter...looks good.

    quality of Orchard M/C leather jackets?

    thanks subject...if you see my original post i have stuck my face on top of the manufacturer's actual pic of the black rothco N-2B, which is the color i bought. i believe, but someone may correct me, rothco has made these under military contract in the past, tho this one is stated to be mil...

    yay for 'N's! what a wonderful surprise to find all the hardcore leather heads appreciating this remarkable jacket! more and more leather jacks are too expensive and too beautiful to be used for their once-purely functional purpose. i'd never throw a $600 vanson or $900 eastman in the back...

    road less traveled for jacket nuts? the N-2B flight jacket...am i crazy 4 loving it?

    wondering if i'm a heretic on this forum for having fallen in love with the workhorse of the cold, smart-looking but non-leather N-2B (the later spawn of the korean war era N-3B)? i adore my leather motor and mil jacks from a-2s, G-1s and vanson sportrider, etc...but being in lalaland calif. i...

    New Member/Vanson Customer Service Issues on Teton Repair

    hmmm...i don't think they have that many employees...i believe it is a small co. run like a smaller company. the jackets are the most amazing thing, but yes, because it is small they can't get to custom orders and repairs in a timely manner. i was lucky in that i found a jacket i liked off the...

    hi mack...yes, my sportrider perf, basically the same jacket, feels super strong and indestructable...they say they actually drill the 1-2mm holes in this jacket, rather than stamping them. i can believe it. i feel like a knight of the Roundtable with it on, like metalmesh. this leather seems...

    thanks cuth...or bert...or...well, just thanks. i especially nurture my verbosity as i grew up watching and enjoying william f. buckley jr. on firing line, and was always entertained despite his generally regressive viewpoints. as for reviewing the jackets, i only review what i get, tho i'd...
