    Vanson! Vanson! Vanson!

    They look a little different than the one I bought years ago. Mine has leather sidewalls on the pockets, and leather gussets on the sleeves. The pockets make a ton of sense, the bottoms of pockets are where you start to see holes first, but sleeve gussets? Why make the part of the cuff that...

    Vanson! Vanson! Vanson!

    it’s too late anyway, but does anyone know the sizing of the Vanson Benrus “long waxed jacket” (another Stormer variant)? I know the Vanson Large is huge, like a 46” plus 4” of ease. The butterscotch Stormer Vanson is a 44” with, I’m not sure, less ease? I have a Benrus on the way so I’ll...

    Vanson! Vanson! Vanson!

    I’m going through the same thing with my “used” Hardcore Hwy. A little spray, wear it for a few hours, repeat. I also use some strategic lanolin. Just a tiny bit rubbed into the elbows and collar. I mean a TINY AMOUNT. On the padded Hardcore I also hit the quilting. VERY lightly. I find it lets...

    Jacket you “should” like?

    For cross zips, they need to start in the middle and zip off to the side. If they start on the right and just go up, I’m not interested. I have a high tolerance for long sleeves, but short ones are a “nope”. And pockets… if you’re losing knuckle skin on the zipper every time you dig out your...

    Jacket you “should” like?

    Are you SURE? This Cal went up recently, and I think it might be a killer fit? https://www.ebay.com/itm/226346333535?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=0iLpxoJGQxC&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=wws9FqC8QJq&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

    Jacket you “should” like?

    Has this happened to anyone else? You see a jacket, order it up, you open the box, and it’s everything you expected it to be buuuuuut… It just isn’t “your jacket”? As I sift through my closet doing some sorting I find some that I’ve; A) moved passed the style, or B) “it shrank..." but...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I think I’m going to end up writing Vanson one of these days and asking them to dust off their TT (Tourist Trophy) pattern.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    So this 5 star company… Sending in measurements can be hit or miss, and while the leather selection is good, the cutters can be overly thrifty when it comes to using up the stretchy belly hide? Because I have long wanted a leather touring jacket, made up in the 3/4 length, four pocket, belted...

    Did a forum member snag that Raider? I watched it, but I couldn't justify it after haveing specifically been wanting a Hardcore, and having a custom padded fall in my lap. Someone got a solid buy :cool: but it wasn’t me!

    Johnson Leathers Black Cherry Bison jacket

    Oh no man, ABSOLUTELY! I LOVE this coat!! The leather selection is insane, and the design elements are just awesome! And going for the rising sun is inspired, it reminds me a dogfighting plane.

    Johnson Leathers Black Cherry Bison jacket

    Ah! I totally get it. I think it’s how they added double stitching to the sleeve seam that made me think of it.

    Johnson Leathers Black Cherry Bison jacket

    That is choice!! I kind of want it to have the red stitching where the sleeve attaches to the body… But it is SO GOOD as is!

    What's up with the back? Stitched hole? It almost looks melted.
