FS: Logan's Closet Vanson half-belt

[Guppy]

Vanson 1930's Half Belt made for Logan's Closet. Rich brown, amazing leather. Size 44.

Measurements:

Pit to pit: 22" (yes, it's a size 44 on the tag. I guess it's a slim fit!)
Length: 24"
Sleeves: 27"

Terms: $600USD Not sold through Logan's Closet currently; was $750 new. There's one on eBay listed at $900 BIN.

Payment: I can accept a money order by certified mail at 100% of agreed price, or PayPal. +3% if using PayPal unless you're using the fee-free friend/family transfer option.

Shipping: $20 per item to CONUS; I will consider international shipping to certain countries, but ask first so I can quote a rate.

Trades: I'm primarily interested in cash, but I may consider trading for similar quality/value jackets in excellent condition. Aero, Vanson, Langlitz, Natal/Natel, Cal Leather, Thedi preferred. I am especially interested in Aero Wayfarer, Langlitz Cascade, and Vanson Arrow models. Send photos and the usual measurements with all trade offers.

If you need additional photos, measurements, or questions answered, just ask. Shoot me an offer if you want, but nothing lowball please. I will not be lowering my asking prices, but will consider a reasonable offer.

I love the jacket, and if it fit me better I'd be keeping it for sure, but it's a little tight in the chest and long in the sleeves for me.

What are YOUR chest and waist measurements that it fits too tight? I have a 44" chest and wondering

I'm about 43-44" fully expanded chest, 36" waist. I can wear it and zip it up with a shirt on. It is only too tight if I want to wear more than a shirt under it. I can't do a sweatshirt under it. It is slim fitting.

I got an Aero Teamster which is pretty much the same design except for bring buttoned with slightly more room in the chest and shorter sleeves, which sounds like exactly what you need. Condition is great, judging from your pics, it's actually been worn much less and the only signs of wear are a small scratch on one sleeve and the usual break in signs on the sleeves. If you are interested in a trade, let me know!

Thanks for the offer! It's a nice jacket, but not a style I'm into, I'm afraid. I don't think buttons work as well as zippers on heavy leather.

Bump.

Damn, if the sleeves were a little shorter, i'd buy it!

Not much to say... I've had it for a while. It's a little tight on me, so I'm regretfully moving it on. Nothing wrong with it, it's very nice looking in person, great condition, leather is awesome.

Somebody should jump on this, I've got the exact same jacket in a larger size and it is one of the best and most visually attractive jackets that I've got. The patina of the leather is just amazing.
