FS/FT:Japanese market Vanson Cheyenne size 44

This is one of the Vanson Cheyennes purchased from Japan a few months back. There was some question as to the authenticity of these, so I took it to Fall River and Kim at Vanson confirmed it was one of theirs. It's in great shape, I've worn it a handful of times. No smells, no damage. The leather is soft and thick, with some grain showing.

Now that it's jacket weather in NY, I don't find myself reaching for this one much, so I'm considering selling(or trading) to free up closet space for something else. As such a trade would be great. I'd love to find another Vanson in 44, bonus if it's not black. But otherwise I'd be up for whatever, similar sizing(42-46 depending upon maker), find myself partial to CRs. Good old money works too, how about $375 F&F shipped in the lower 48, or make an offer.

Photos with measurements attached, if you need more, just let me know. Thanks for looking.

Are the jackets made for the Japanese market made in the same CW hide? How does this compare to other Vanson you have owned? Thanks.

I can't speak for this specific jacket, but having bought a few Vanson jackets from sellers in Japan, they're every bit as good as the American market jackets.

No, at least this one isn’t the same comp weight hide that I’m used to. This one is really soft, a bit like the medium weight leather they use, but feels thicker than that. Seems to be something different altogether? I suppose there’s a lot of variation within those hides over the years though.

Bump and a price drop! $350 shipped in the lower 48. Or trade for another Vanson, I'd love to have a comet or oxford, especially if not black!

Hello there. Any chance you’re looking to part ways with this?
