Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

[Bluechel]

Will do! Hopefully the large fits me, I'm good with a 44 in all the other vanson stuff.

My research says this will run large on you, but keep me in the loop, happy to know solid measurements on that one!

This is the oldest in this style I have seen. Real McCoys do a later version of this work jacket. I believe every Hercules with the Giant label is from the 1930s. This is the one to own.

Ha, don’t blame me. I proposed years ago that only sales with a BIN be posted. Some of us put in work and should be able to go for the auctions against just the usual suspects. I was shot down like the idiot brother in Legends of the Fall. Haha.

All these years later, I still 100% agree with you. But what can ya do? That horse is out of the barn and three states away at a stud farm now.

Vanson Chopper arrived today. It fits, but it's definitely on smaller side for a large, a bit smaller than my Vanson 44s.

Pit to pit is 23"
Shoulder is 19"
Sleeves are just under 26"
back length is just under 27"

Should work fine on the bike, though I'm not sure if I'll wear it otherwise. Anyone looking for large chopper?

Thanks for the intel, just shows me that every one of these is pretty random (Vansons) wow, was hoping it would be too big for you!

Yeah, it's funny, they vary a good bit! It really is a ridiculously ****** jacket though.

I gotta agree. In fact I think it may be the coolest jacket that doesn't "cross the line" into absurdity but comes right up against that line!

I find that Vanson jackets run on the small side. I own 2 of them both are a small size 46.

Thrift store find yesterday for $25. Not high end but the cowhide is very supple. Hardly any wear on it and i like the fit and the simple style. Gave it a good bick4 treatment.

That looks nice, and I like that style. Is it made in Canada, or made elsewhere for a Canadian retailer?
