Lol.

Good grief @Bennarion, is this your actual job? I'm amazed there's any eBay left for anyone else.

Man, that's a thick one. Who bought it?

I bought that one, but unfortunately the measurements were off by a inch or so on the pit to pit, and two inches at the bottom hem. Also it was missing some zipper teeth on one of the wrists. It is a beautiful jacket though.

This is not work, it is just a hobby

Straightforward Perfecto but a pretty cool one, by the looks of it.

Man, that jacket looks weird!
That padding where the seams of the shoulder pads and upper arm pads don't align, the fact that the shoulder padding is only in the front panel but not the back, the fact that the bottom band touches the bottom of the pocket zippers, there are alot of weird design choices that really hurt my eyes...

Huh, you are right about the panels not being aligned. Man, how do you notice that? I swear, I can draw pretty much any jacket by any major maker with all the details right from memory but I'll never notice stuff like that, wonky stitching, uneven panels, etc. until someone points it out to me.

Welcome to OCPD life, where every detail is the most important detail!

That Vanson is floating around german ebay for a while now. Some very odd design choices by the guy who ordered it, to say the least.

Good observations. The shoulder pad only half done would bother me but otherwise cool looking!

Sayign that LL does pretty much the same thing on their Europa and for some reason it bothers me less:

At least LL does finish the shoulder pad at the rear.

I stand corrected- Vanson and LL versions very similar at the shoulder.
