    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Scored a C2. Seemed like a fair deal, they've been harder to find lately. 350 and seller accepts returns. No belt. Bought it to compare with the Model E. I suspect I'll move one of them on and not keep both.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Thanks :) Got lucky with it. I'm a 42.5" chest, 34" waist, 5'10 170 lb. This jacket is an off the rack 42. As far as I know, the Model B pattern hasn't changed over the years, but I could be wrong. Per Vanson's website, the pattern has 6.5" of chest ease.

    Sweet mother of grain, what on earth is that jacket and where do we all get one! Amazing

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Rainy today, so I grabbed the Model B. Nothing penetrates the hide really, and it's broken in so well. 1994 era competition weight. Comfortable and simple, just how I like it.

    That has to be one of my favorite looking jackets of all time. Looking good man!

    I'm no expert but that's a good color combo IMO. I like the looks of the jacket too. I bet that color will age and fade nicely over time.

    How many jackets do you own?

    Leather, right now just 5. Vansons: Avenger, Model B, Model E, and Model F. And one Schott, a 141. I plan to stop at seven, have my eye on a few more.

    How many jackets do you own?

    Would this imply that you may have a Vanson in size 42 you're considering selling? I told myself I wouldn't buy another for a while, yet had to ask.

    That stitching really makes it pop! Is that a Thurston Bros variant by chance? Nice jacket and good fit!

    Vanson jacket appreciation

    Very nice Maverick! Initially I wasn't drawn to those because of the snaps instead of zip, but it has grown on me quite a bit. Very stylish jacket and versatile! And you already know I love that Octagon Model B. Gorgeous!!!

    Some of those Belstaff jackets are very nice, including that one! I wonder who made the jackets for them. And I could see those sport rider jackets covering most temperatures, especially with a base layer / liner. Throw a rain jacket in the mix and you're covered. Pun intended lol.

    Nice jacket! Love your Youtube channel by the way. Lot of good jackets on there over the years.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Wearing the Vanson Model F again, formerly @ton312's, then @Al 916's. I love this thing because it's unique. Has a 70's vibe to it, which makes sense given the label indicates 1978-1982 era. Before serial numbers. The color is more of a challenge for me to match with shirts / hats / boots, but...

    Vanson jacket appreciation

    So far, CSRX Avenger sport rider, Model E for cold, Model B for on and off the bike, and tobacco colored Model F for off the bike. 2 of those I bought after starting this particular thread not long ago. They multiply quickly lol. Purchased a new Oxford and a new Model A with armor from...

    Vanson jacket appreciation

    You definitely have a well-thought-out collection for different riding climates. I've got the CSRX Avenger, their early 90's sport rider cut with the zip-down panels exposing perfed leather only in the front, and 2 zip vents in the rear. I do like it a lot, as a compromise between a perfed...

    Very nice looking competition weight indeed :) How old is that one?
