Vanson jacket appreciation

[Viking752]

It seems there was a hot streak on TFL for the Vanson C2 in the recent past, you get a C2, I get a C2…everyone gets a C2. It cannot be overstated how well this model fits, at least for me. For reference mine is a size 50 built in 2011 of CW with no alterations. It’s just easy to put on and wear without a care in the world, but when the zombies do arrive this will be my armor.

Just secured a Vanson Raid in 42 thru' the Lounge.

En route from NZ to Australia as I wait.

My other Vansons are 44", a Comet and a Sturgis, so we will see.

I had a Vanson Ike but sold it to a contact as it was a "winter" jacket only here.

All the info I could find suggested the Vanson Raid is (or was) "cut big".

Photos for this thread to follow.

This is what Will Zach posted, looks close to your number. But as others have said just email Vanson and they can tell you. Nick seems to be the guy there, he helped me identify mine.

I purchased a Commando off the classifieds and it got here a couple days ago. It's such an incredible jacket. The X150 is an amazing leather that I'm enjoying very much. Trying to get some pictures but nothing's really capturing the jacket.

Anyone ever seen a "Remington" in the wild?
Seems like such a cool and stylish design with a lot of nice details, especially for Vanson who tend to be quite conservative with their designs.
Found a 36 for a good price, but the 49cm shoulder width completely kills it for me.

Wow, that's a really neat design. Can't say I've seen that one before. Great find!

Pretty darn cool though!
Pity the shoulder’s killed it for you cause it’s a pretty darn cool Vanson!
