    Vanson Maverick

    My chest measurement is 42" and a 42 fits close. I like a trucker jacket to fit snug. Mine is firenze and I've had it since Feb 2022. Many thousand of miles on the road and still not really broken in. I couldn't see wearing the comp weight as an everyday jacket. Even with the thinner leather, I...

    My issue is with absolute statements. If someone likes a jacket, then hooray. If they need to come here for advice as to "quality" or "ideal" then I find the advice suspect. This is why I generally lurk rather than participate. Didn't mean to hurt your feelings.

    I have no experience with Thurston and prefer to deal directly with Vanson. My experience with Vanson has been satisfying. They are not fashion jackets. I like to support support small American businesses when I can so for me it is win-win, especially since they are involved in the motorcycle...

    A good jacket won't save your life, but it will make stacking on the miles easier.

    Vanson! Vanson! Vanson!

    Ideal for a motorcycle jacket but not for playing table tennis. Point is Vansons are purpose built. If you want one because you like the look then be prepared to adapt or hop on a bike and see how it works.

    To each their own. I found the arrow to be one of the most comfortable riding jackets that I have ever had. The chest is roomy. The sleeves and waist are snug. You can swivel without catching wind. A snap down collar isn't needed because the upper body doesn't balloon when scooting down the...

    I have an arrow and it is snug on the sleeves but for a rider this is appropriate. The jacket stays put. It is a design element that works.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I just got a cossack in the tan goat suede. It is a little bright. Hopefully it will fade a bit. It is unlined and about 1.5 oz. The jacket is very comfortable and moves well. The suede skins are small so you end up with a seam in the back for a cossack or you need to choose a jacket with...

    Looks good to me. I've had a firenza weight one for a couple of years and it is still very stiff. It is meant to be snug. Watch the buttons and thread until it loosens up some.

    How cold can you still ride a motorcycle in a Schott 740N peacoat?

    Carhartt Berwick or Detroit.

    How cold can you still ride a motorcycle in a Schott 740N peacoat?

    I'd get something with enough room to layer. The outer shell should be made of something that blocks the wind while the inner provides warmth. I've had good luck with leather or duck canvas and a sweater. I would recommend against a peacoat. I've done that before and it is uncomfortable and too...
