Vanson Maverick

[thebruin]

Greetings!

I am interested in getting a Vanson Maverick trucker jacket

The problem is, I am torn between size 40 and 42. Does anyone happen to have a recently purchased Vanson Maverick (Not sure if they change their pattern) and could kindly provide the size, pit to pit and shoulder measurement? I would also appreciate any insight into the leather choices (I am especially interested in either comp weight black or mid weight black firenze)

I already tried emailing Vanson, and they told me pit to pit is useless and also would not give me a straight answer to shoulder measurement lol.

Vanson is putting you on the game but you aren't listening!

Shoulder width is a pretend-measurement that doesn't really exist in a way the internet think it does. The distance between the shoulder seams is of a strictly aesthetical nature and has absolutely no effect on the wearability of the jacket.

As for which size to buy, that's extremely simple - The size you wear. If you are a size 40, buy a size 40. If you are a size 42, buy a size 42. Vanson told you everything you need to know. Unless you are a tailor, the pit to pit measurement is useless to you and you don't know what to do with it. I sure don't and it took me 10 plus years to realize this. That's why the size tag is there, so I wouldn't have to think that I am somehow smarter than the maker.

Leather we can help you with, though. Comp. Weight as far as I am concerned.

why don't you just try them both and return one that is less ideal?

Oh, it would be nice if you could rely on the size tag. In a perfect world that's true, but not in real life. That is why it is always recommended here in the forum to go by the measurements. I've already seen one and the same size differ within the same brand.
In this respect, I can understand the desire for P2P and don't understand why Vanson is bitching.
Let them just give the measurements instead of teaching them. And if, in their opinion, it doesn't help, then at least the customer is happy.

P2P of a jacket is decided by the shoulder/ sleeve post/ arm hole opening, if the sleeve is huge all the way to your side compared to high armhole the P2P figure can be hugely different, when a jacket has a shoulder seam not a raglan model, I can imagine how it would fit with the shoulder width than a P2P ,

I know shoulder width can be 5cm different and the jacket would still fit me, but if I see let say 42cm shoulder I know the jacket would fit me like a shirt, when it is 44cm it would fit like a normal jacket, and when 46cm it would fit very square, anything beyond 46cm would start getting droopy, so I can still imagine somewhat.

when I shop online, I usually chat the seller to give my height and weight, and my neck circumference, and pants size, to help them imagine how I'm built and ask which size that would fit me trim and fit my neck , because boxiness on the waist can be fixed easily or cheaply , too big on the neck hole can't be fixed
