New Vanson Oxford

You have these images at your fingertips for all occasions?!?!?
Too bad you couldn't score this leather for the Oxford, but it will be really good in black too. There is a helluva good looking Schott in a similar style too, in black HH. 689H. Just came across it, and it is very nice!
edit....more moola though $825

LOL. Man I have a meme for every occasion. Especially around here. Yeah I’ll put the blindfold on and hope for the best with the comp weight. Worst case I beat the snot out of it and force it to look good (ish).

I’m really not a fine of the center vertical seam, but I believe it helps with creating a more tapered jacket.

That would make sense. Aero mention this on their website wrt the Board Racer model - they will make it without the centre seam on request, but point out that this will affect the fit. My understanding is that the way the two panels are cut can better allow for the fit against the curve of the back than a single piece. From that perspective, it is perhaps interesting that I see the centre seam much more on high-end motorcycle jackets as opposed to high end "fashion" pieces (for want of a better way of putting it - leather jackets worn for style rather than as motorcycle wear).

I believe the Enfield fits a little boxier than the Oxford. I’m really not a fine of the center vertical seam, but I believe it helps with creating a more tapered jacket. I would rather have a better fitting jacket with a center seam than an ill-fitting jacket without one. I usually have to wear half-belt jackets with pleats sewn in to get the waist slimmer. The action-back and underarm gussets also really help with the mobility and comfort of this jacket.

There is no back “pucker” that I’ve seen on many fit pictures on TFL. Looks great fits great

Got my new Size 38 Vanson Oxford in blue Bainbridge from Thurston. Leather is stiff but very comfortable. Will post more pics once broken in.

^^ that's really sharp..how about a back photo and one or two with it zipped up?

That's a nice color. Good job, Thurston and Vanson!

More pics..
Everyone needs at least 1 Oxford jacket to experience how comfortable and how much range of motion can be had with a leather jacket. I feel this style hits the sweet spot between both style and mobility. By far the most comfortable jacket I’ve had across multiple brands.

Any evolution pics of the blue Bainbridge @jglf ?

That blue hide looks great.

I dyed it black because the jacket was too blue for my taste in the sun. You can see the original color on the inside collar.

Nice work! Looks far better. Still blue undertone but not blueberry.
