Vanson CSR2 46 - Ron Peck edition

[AeroFan_07]

Here is a very unique, one-off Vanson for those who are motorcycle enthusiasts or just want something with history. This is an early 2000's produced jacket in a size 46, sizing is off-the-rack but as can be observed the jacket is certainly not a stock jacket. From Vanson when I sent the serial number in: (60416T1) is a Model CSR2 made in March of 2002. This still have great old Competition weight Cowhide, it's slightly stiff but very well molded to (Ron's) physique. Who is Ron Peck: https://ronsblog.ronpeckmotorcycles.com/

Regarding the Vanson, this jacket has full pads except the back pad that will come with it. I removed them to wear the jacket; they are thick and a bit bulky to just wear unless actively riding. The jacket has been cleaned up and given some light conditioning, there could still be a little more detail/spot cleaning down on the white portions of the jacket if desired.

Asking $595 Shipped CONUS (Pay-Pal F&F)

Jacket is a size 46 with very curved sleeves, so these may be a bit misleading

Photos:

I take it Ron used this jacket to promote his restoration shop in the latter years of it being open while he rode & raced bikes. There are no odors, only a couple small tears in the lining which are in the photos. Please note carefully the back detail - Vanson did a wonderful job with the large leather sign on the back advertising his shop. Only the very center section is a patch, and everything appears hand-stitched.

And not forgetting the dimension photos:

Also with pads in this jacket is over 10 lbs, it's a heavyweight.

I would love to own this. But……. It goes against my upbringing hi g to wear a jacket with another man’s name on it. Just kidding but is the name a patch or is it embroidered on?

Seriously this is one of the nicest Vanson jackets I’ve ever viewed. You really should hold on to it.

Ha! That's a good one. The "RON" are three pieces of leather stiched to the front. It could be removed. Then you could put a patch over it with your own name if you wanted.

Yeah, it's fantastic and amazing well done with old-school Comp Weight. If it does not sell, I'll keep it.

This is as good as it will ever look in the front:



The back is never a problem:
