Has anyone here spoken to Vanson during the pandemic? It’s completely possible I’m an idiot and just didn’t see any news. Wouldn’t be the first and wouldn’t be the last time. So if this is common knowledge, or there’s some pop-up on their site or fb but didn’t see anything. I recently came across this jacket on grailed with gold or brass colored epaulet stars. I have this 90s Vanson I think would look killer with them. I emailed two weeks ago asking how much they charge for the stars, and how much they charge to do the labor of attaching the stars. When I emailed them I got a generic response back about how they were still open and making masks. I waited a few days and replied and got the same email back. So if anyone’s spoken to vanson recently and has an update please do let me know. If I hear nothing from them or you fine TFL members I will just call them this week, no problem with that at all.or if anyone has purchased Stars from them and had them applied and has a price range, also appreciated. In any case here’s the jacket from Grailed and my Vanson So you can have an idea of how it will look. Again in my opinion it would look killer.

Danny, it shouldn't be difficult to attach the stars yourself, though it's usually done with a kick press machine but other than that, they aren't really made in any special way. I think they'd tell you the same and would probably charge you a lot for sending you the stars while there are a lot of options on eBay, just gotta make sure to buy the metal ones (Vanson seems to be using those Russian stars). Other than that, they all attach the same.

When you call ask for Constantine.
I’m going to be honest I am not crafty or handy which is why I wanted to talk to them even though I knew it would be pricey. If it’s very pricey I may just learn it myself though to save that kind of money. Actually Haley’s sister is an amazing crafter and super handy. She makes her own stuff alllll the time. If I can get metal Vanson stars or a close approximation metal stars from a vendor, I may ask her to do it. Thank you for the advice.
And @JMax I’ve spoken to Constantine before usually been super useful and responsive. Just no luck on email, if I end up calling will definitely ask for Constantine. Thanks all.
We need to get him on TFL, it would be great!
Agreed. If I get a hold of him in the next few days when I call, I will for sure let him know how appreciated his/Vansons presence on TFL would be!

Agreed, for a thousand different reasons. Full court press?
I say we start picketing in front of Vansons, someone start making signs!
We need a list of all TFL users living in Boston...
So I’m not trying to make this political so I hope anyone reading this takes it for the sarcasm it’s intended as. Please haha. I’m a union organizer . That’s what I do for a living so we want a picket line, I’m your man. I got this, I can do a great full court press campaign to get Constantine/Vanson presence on TFL!
Well you leave us no choice then, you are now in charge of the "get Constatine on TFL project", if by the end of the week you haven't succeded you will be dismissed and will have to leave TFL in shame never to return.
Thank you for your sacrifice, TFL appreciates it.

I spoke to Constantine at Vanson last Tuesday. I think a phone call might be the way to go in this case.

Hard to say with your shirt being out but since it seems to cover most of it, that would make it pretty long.

It is too long considering the style. The side buckles are down to my ****. Length would be fine if it is a WW2 Jerkin but sadly it is not.

Is this new, or is this Ton's old jacket?

It's not a new jacket, everything matches Ton 's jacket except sleeve length and color of thread ( can't see very clearly)
