Vanson! Vanson! Vanson!

My first leather jacket! I’ve been going through this forum for the past couple months and Vanson seemed to be highly recommended. I think I got a pretty good fit. This is a 42 PLU-3 from TB. My chest is 41 3/4 and my waist is a 34. I doubt I could’ve sized down to a 40 because this one was pretty restrictive when I first put it on. It has broken in quite a bit since then.

I liked it so much that I bought the slim fit Oxford in Bainbridge that TB just put on their website in a 42. Are the Oxford and Comet similar in fit?

Looks like a good fit.
I'm pretty much the same measurements to you so it's nice to have an idea on how a 42 looks. Do you think a 44 would be too big? Also, how tall are you?

Looks fantastic, first time I see a comet that fits so long, I like it.
I'd say the Oxford is much longer than the Comet by default and it has shoulder gussets (that work wondefully!). But TB can adjust the length.

I think a 44 would definitely be too big for me. I’m 6’1.

This is the Thurston model, so it’s 3” longer, I believe.

Thanks, that's good to know. I'm 6'2 so very similar in build to you.
