    (PERF)ect SUMMER MOTO JACK!!! Vanson mark2 sportrider properf REViEWED with a picture

    thanks for the laff. as for production,i keep hearing these are made down south, but as far as i know, as i was talking to vanson, they are made in the u.s., especially if you custom order. i have a drifter coming, stock with buckles added to the sides by their shop, and this one, both u.s. jackets.

    (PERF)ect SUMMER MOTO JACK!!! Vanson mark2 sportrider properf REViEWED with a picture

    thanks capt cave, and yes, that air flowing almost through your skin is a mind blower (ooops, almost a pun). and yes, these are real holes about 1.5mm open area each, drilled i have read, not stamped dots like most perfed jackets. quite an alternative experience, and perfect for L.A.'s weather...

    (PERF)ect SUMMER MOTO JACK!!! Vanson mark2 sportrider properf REViEWED with a picture

    [NOTE, as of today i am exchanging this size for ANOTHER one up, from 48 to 50. these are tight, well formed, and cut to be in riding position. i wear a 42 reg suit and need to take a 50 in this jacket, and that's without the protective padding shoulder/arm inserts. i do like a touch of...

    YES, it's TRUE! the SCHOTT 641 STEERHiDE REViEWED! with a picture!

    i think the size 46 641 would fit me (i'm your size) but it would be snug, especially if worn with anything but a thin shirt. but it would likely fit. the 141 in a 46 should definitely fit.

    the widest longest jacket hanger in the world...for your heavy jacks

    from the response sounds like this is an appreciated hanger. will be getting a few. i've found tho that if you can find 20" hangers with thick wood ends (if you pardon the untoward and unmeant double meaning) they can be enhanced (so to speak) by draping a towel over them prior to putting a...

    the widest longest jacket hanger in the world...for your heavy jacks

    in the last 6months i've gone gonzo again over jacks...been buying a buncho motorcycle leather jackets and need new hangers that won't mess them up. had bought some nice wood 20" hangers with thick ends that were great, but just bought a schott 641, and have a vanson drifter on order, plus a...

    YES, it's TRUE! the SCHOTT 641 STEERHiDE REViEWED! with a picture!

    thanks garzo. as per information that i believe gail (the schott spokesperson) gave, the 641 is built to the classic build of this jacket, while the 141 is a bit updated, which to me means widened out. she said in one posting that the arms were about an inch or so leaner in the 641, and the...

    the 654...i did consider it but it was a bit too long, and it didn't have side straps which i always need to make the jacket more V-tapered...but the real problem was the tripartite back...i started in my jacket obsession with military jackets and developed a prejudice agains anything but a...

    541?????????????? there's no current 541 on the schott site, and when you do a search there are messages on the forum post from gail saying it was a style from more than 10 years ago based on the cafe race 641 with similar leather. i think the only lighter jacket you might get would be the...

    drink more caffeine daily thanks for the nice words 2much. i have an old L4/L5 disc injury, but i still run and have held off on surgery, but i do suffer pain. good luck with the fusion, hope it does the trick. as for the jacket, all the ww2 a-2 and g-1 jacks were off the rack wartime...

    i'll cop to the good taste, but when it comes to buying leather jackets i don't think anyone on this forum needs any leadership to give in to temptation ;D you'll love the jacket...it's outrageously nice

    schott hh i'm not an expert on schott, and most of the forum seems to be gaga over the custom makers like aero, eastman, lewis, and others i can't think of right now...the off the rack like schott, cockpit i think are considered a bit de classe by some but i don't know about the felt and...

    history of the 641? hmmmmmmm... i may write like i know more than i do [i was a reporter so that bs attitude is ingrained], however i don't know the history of the 641. if i had to guess, i'd say it goes back to the 50s and a european influence as it is totally the same as the german ww2...
