Vanson jacket appreciation
I'm starting to think you have all the good Vansons :) Great info, might help us decipher when the best were made. Another gorgeous looking hide! I've got ton312's old Model E on the way from Australia, I think it's a late 80's, early 90's model. Haven't handled it yet but looking forward to...- BB1239

USPS Ground Advantage Gripes
We have used them at work. Once. That was all it took. Angry customers are just not worth saving a few dollars over. I've never understood why they provide tracking if it's not accurate at all. As a buyer, I try to just be patient when I see that's the method. But I'd never expect someone else... -

How has your taste in leather jackets changed over the years?
I'd love to see that Vanson tricolor! I've taken several long riding journeys over the years and the leather has so far only seen local use on the bike. Textile options with well-placed vents and armor are so readily available, I've used those by default. I plan to try my Vanson CSRX Avenger...- BB1239

Jacket Collecting - Ever ask why?
I feel like I'm already dealing with that and I'm sure I have less jackets. For me, it seems jackets are like most other products out there...there are a lot of "almosts". Very good for this, but not for that. If I had knowledge and access, maybe if I designed my own jacket I'd be perfectly...- BB1239

He had a really nice Chopper for sale recently that I was tempted by. I think I saw an ad for his Model B also. I love my Model B from the 1993-ish era. Very well broken in CW, Talon brass zips. The B is just so versatile, on and off the bike. So far, my most versatile jacket.- BB1239

I find that hide truly amazing, and I doubt I'm the only one. Would be nice to have a thread with that pic posted, anyone with similar Vanson hides could chime in, maybe with age of jacket. Somehow it may help determine how rare or available that might be in a used jacket for those of us who...- BB1239

@Peter Mackin Did you do anything special to that jacket to achieve that? Crumple it up a lot, any treatments? Did it start out lifeless and plasticky, or was it soft from the beginning?- BB1239

If only there was a way to find more jackets like this in all of our sizes. Or at least in a 42! :) Just wow!! I had always thought the good Vanson CW disappeared with the Talon zip era. This jacket shows how wrong I was.- BB1239

How has your taste in leather jackets changed over the years?
I still ride, and just now venturing into cross zips to try them for functionality. In fact my first attempt at it will be your old Model E when it arrives from Australia. Just in time for cold weather! I can see the correlation with the societal stereotypes on a cross zip. I'm going to be...- BB1239
