This is a catch and release. I have an early 80's Vanson Model E jacket made of tea core leather that is in excellent condition considering it's over 40 years old. The leather, liner, and zippers are all solid. I purchased it last week and had it professionally cleaned, but unfortunately, it's a little short for me. Please note that the older Model E jackets are slightly shorter than the newer models. I'm open to trading for a newer model in size 44.

Asking $350 including shipping within the US.

Tempting but I have trouble understanding the narrow shoulders on most Vansons, even a 44 has only 18" sts?

Your jacket could have had new elastic installed. But the shoulder is about 19" on these jackets, and there's more room for expansion too.
The current one that I have is an inch longer in body and sleeves, 26" instead of 25".
Your earlier E also has the cooler collar. GLWS.
