Vanson Raid / Raider D-pocket cross-zip - Size 34 / S - Heavy competition weight

[TartuWolf]

Rare minimalist d-pocket crosszip model from Vanson.
Apart from the Butterschotch Commando it's the only d-pocket from Vanson that I know of.
Known as the "Raid" or "Raider", very similar to the "Arrow" model by Thurston Brothers.
Based on the original Montgomery Ward "Windward", ELMC also makes a fantastic version.
The Vanson take has a clean moto style back with very functional shoulder gussets while the ELMC one has a half-belt and plain back.
Heavy broken in and soft comp weight leather with lots of grain. Vanson branded YKK brass hardware.
2 internal pockets, heavyweight hanger tab, hidden throat latch(!).
A few minor scratches here and there, but overall in fantastic condition with all hardware working flawlessly.
Lightweight and soft lining - more suiter for warm weather than cold weather.
Very cool jacket, but it's just too long for me.
Catch and release!

Size 34 or S.

Measurements:
Back length : 63cm (excluding collar panel)
Armpit to armpit : 48cm (actually wears more like a 50cm)
Shoulder width : 42cm
Sleeve length : 62cm (from shoulder to cuff)

Location : Estonia (EU)
Price : 250eur + buyer covers shipping.

Love the back on this jacket. Very nice. Way too small for me though

Exactly, super clean shoulder gussets, no center back seam that I dislike on most other models, no duck tail or hardened kidney panel - fantastic back design.
