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.
