Vanson jacket appreciation

Yes they do one-offs.

The price for sourcing one jackets worth of leather and having them make the jacket is higher than what I charge, but you could pick anything for them to make

They can also customize sleeve or body length or or circumference, though there’s an additional charge. I found out they'll let me offer the same
I sourced Horween Pinnacle and they made this custom Ike for me. I didn’t pay for the jacket (I traded in some old gear to cover the jacket cost), but the Pinnacle was about $640 USD. No clue what other hides cost.

I’ve been thinking about a custom C2 (no back seam, no belt/belt loops, different lining and sleeve length to my measurements) in their CW . I tried on a half dozen jackets in CW when trying to nail my size and I really liked the new CW. I like smooth leather and the CW is on the smoother side but should pick up just the right amount of creases as it breaks in.

Your girl looks like she seen some shit haha :D

Jokes aside I really like the jacket(and doggo ofc!).


Cheers!
She really hates taking pictures lol. The jacket is from the 2024 batch of comp weight. I find it to be a significant improvement on the older 2021 batch I had in my model B.

Would you mind sharing some close ups of the 2024 CW? I’m curious to know what it looks like these days. (Debating with myself if I should try to find a vintage maverick or buy one new from Vanson)

Sure, I can take some pictures later today.

Hope this will suffice. I will also say it is a bit shinier and more comfortable than the 2021 batch CW I had
