Probably going to kick myself down the road because I know the older models with that famous 90's leather are coming harder and harder to find. But this doesn't get worn as much as it should and it deserves a good home. We'll see how it goes, and maybe I'll keep it, but if someone is dying to have one. Here you go. I know I spent a good 6 months trying to find one this size, this old, but the closet has become full.
Vanson confirmed this was made in Sept. 2000.
I'd say it's 95% clean. There's a couple tiny indents on the back, I think from the last shipping and maybe the side buckles putting pressure. Funny enough, after I applied some conditioner this morning, most of them went away. But there's one or two like finger nail width, maybe 1/4 inch or less. No discoloration or anything, really have to look close to see them, but just in the interest of full disclosure.
There's like 3 stitches missing from one of the shoulder/arm pit seams. Everything is intact and sturdy. Unless you're hanging from monkey bars often, I think you'll be fine.
Male zipper pin has the plastic coating starting to come off. Think you'll be fine for many years if you're careful. Worst case, it's a standard size 10, so you can do a male side only replacement down the road.
Other than that, she's a beauty. I'd say it's 75% broken in. Grain starting to pop but nowhere near as soft as the 1980s C2 I just got. Thick gorgeous leather. Liner clean. And overall just great. The wrist zips shut this thing air tight like I've never seen before.
$425 ppff including Conus shipping will make me whole. Anything lower and I'm going to start second guessing myself. Most importantly though, someone needs to wear this thing to bring out all it's glory.
P2P 21.5
Shoulder 18
Back 24.25
Bottom 19.5 with buckles half way
Sleeve 25
I took a couple pics yesterday but all the measurement stuff was tonight (not great light). Maybe I'll do some better grain stuff tomorrow.
