What’s the plan then? Size?Finally bought a new off the shelf Vanson Chopper on Yahoo Auction JP. Have always wanted one. Fit is not perfect so not going to post any photo.
If fit is not perfect, then hopefully it is good enough for you to enjoy.Finally bought a new off the shelf Vanson Chopper on Yahoo Auction JP. Have always wanted one. Fit is not perfect so not going to post any photo.
Recently, I ran across a good deal on 2 almost new Lost Worlds leather jackets. I got both of them for $1K. They're in the mail.

Size is small. Sleeves are too long, waist a bit tight. Am still gonna wear it. Oh well, that's the problem with me wearing western made jackets like my Comet and my Lewis Leather, the sleeves are always an inch or two too long but it is not worth the money to go custom to simply have them shortened. With the cuff zippers, shoulder, arm and elbow padding, it is not easy to have them shortened at the local tailor though.What’s the plan then? Size?
It would not make much difference to me whether it is a numeric size (Vanson did make some numeric size chopper). I am barely 5'6 so even with a size 36 it is still gonna be too long.If fit is not perfect, then hopefully it is good enough for you to enjoy.
That is how I feel about my chopper. Since it is a size XL rather than a numeric size, it is a bit bigger than I would like. Still one of my favorites though.

That's a sweet weight in LWs horse. I have a hh LW Roadmaster in the same weight, and it's one of my top favorite jackets.Pretty cool jackets and leather/color combos! I have both jackets but in 3-3.5oz brown HH and 4oz+ Navy HH
Snagged this Vanson Raid(er) off the bay today. I prefer the backside on this older model compared to the Gambler/Arrow. Figured this would curb my appetite for an ELMC Windward, for now.
Hoping the size 46 isn't too big - if so, it'll be offered up in the classifieds.

Suddenly got this Apparel Annex CHP trucker sorta deal.
@JMax , it'll be my first jacket of theirs but I heard only good things about them and this one is brilliant. Check out the cool CHP looking back.
