Beautiful coat, if I didn't already have twenty jackets and an abundance of inner strength I'd be very tempted. Great pocket design on this as well, I wish my Bootlegger had pockets like this.

Fur Cal. Looks like a size 40.

@ton312 fozie bear!

WOW! what is this model called?

I'll have to defer to more experienced and knowledgeable members. I've searched the SB site and Google images but haven't been able to find a match to identify this jacket.

Saw that one. The sleeve length is so short though!

Sooo short! But there's hope, another one exists means there's more

HH Vanson Ike 38. Great price.

I briefly had a Vanson HH from the same era and wasn't impressed with the hide. I have heard of others that were happy, but I won't take the gamble again. To be fair there were other issues with the jacket but to a degree were because of the thin spots n the hide and construction.

$$$$ but cool

^ Looks nice and right in the backyard, but a completely cut-n-paste description for a mail order $2200 jacket would worry me.

This jacket typifies why some of us appreciate branded garments...$150 for a beautiful jacket. I’m tempted.

That is true especially in this case. A casual search of the regular made to order HH Diamond Dave J-21 will show it only costs $1149. I don't see how the seller can justify the doubling of the price without saying more.

I am starting to really like the Ike but am wary of new Vanson. New ones I've had in the last few years pale in comparison to the ones older than 10 years ago and don't fit that great. Sleeve length looks freakishly short also. I wish people knew how to properly measure a jacket.

This isn't rocket science here folks.

It's to the point I send a picture with measurement requests of what and how to measure. It's helped.

Looks a lot like the one Terry sold a while back for $675...
$2200 for a Diamond Dave is mad!

I don't get the side straps with clinches and buttons for a half belt to adjust the fit

Very unusual design for an Aero. I'm not sure that this is the Galashiels, Scotland Aero but if it is, it must be a one-off.
