Test is great, at least the one I have 2 years ago is PERFECT.
Seems like in your case as well, the russet hide comes smoother than the black one... was that your experience?

Yet another second hand Vanson arrived today. This one is black comp weight Enfield. Nicely broken in but with a terrible cigarette stench. [emoji51]
Seller advertised jacket on ebay ”as new” ...I don’t complain about it being broken in, but I wonder which Vanson stockist sells new Vansons that smell like wet ashtrays?
Another jacket off to my local leather cleaner.
This may very well be my next leather jacket. ( I know...I know..I was done.. ).
Any hints about this jacket..? Is it a tight fitter? Would a size 40 fit like a 40..??
Thanks

LW PJ27 came in a few days ago. Had a chance to ride with it early yesterday before the rain came. This thing is heavy, my arms got a wee bit tired reaching for my apes. The leather is substantial, dense if that makes sense. More than than my Vanson, except perhaps the Comet, and Bates. Though it doesn't "disappear" on the bike like my Vanson, particularly the Force, which is also a police styled jacket. Trade-off I guess. I will be wearing it quite a bit though. Sleeves ended up maybe 1/2" short when on the bike and reaching but I figured that going in. Came with mouton collar.
The stitch-count and attention to detail "nuts" (said with respect and affection) would appreciate it too. I am very pleased with this jacket.

Just bought on the bay (another !) Schott jacket. Size "Large" which I am hoping is a 44 !
Bought out of the UK as a 10+ year old jacket. Also posted as an "Identification Help request" View attachment 128928 View attachment 128930
