What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

Not the jacket I’m wearing today but my jacket story for the day. I was working for a lady I know here in Berkeley cleaning up some funky old wiring in her garage. Tucked away in the very back of the garage she had some old clothing stored on hangers. My eyes immediately went to the black leather jacket in the middle of everything and I pulled it out to have a closer look. I was pleasantly surprised to see it was a well worn Vanson and when she came down to check on the work I asked her about it.
She told me that she had the jacket made for her by Vanson sometime in the 90s. At the time she rode a BMW motorcycle and had been unable to find a riding jacket that fit her well. She is originally from the East Coast, and still has family there, so she went to the Vanson factory to have them measure her for this jacket. Very cool story, and it definitely made my day.

Damn i love good stories to go with jackets and hats and stuff.
Thanks, El. Bet you get to bring it home. Ha

Wore both my Aero B3 and ANJ4 today with only a t-shirt underneath. Winds 20-30mph, rain, snow, sleet, ice. Only thing I noticed was my face being pelted by the sleet. These jackets are amazing! Cross section shot of my ANJ4 shows how thick the shearling is. Nothing is gonna get through that.

A few days ago when it was sunny and in the 40s, I tried out my new Nudie Denim faux-shearling lined flannel jacket. Jacket has a nice weight to it. And bonus points for ethically sourced fabrics. My lumberjack transformation begins!

That would be a good one for the “what will aged black leather” look like thread!

Looks great @willyto !

Thanks! I used to be close to 88Kg and got down to 74-75Kg but Christmas season and the previous months has taken a toll on me and I gained a couple Kilos. Working on it!

Spectacular fit and really cool jacket!

Thank you! I feel so modern but in reality it is just a 30-60s design.

Very nice. Is it horse or cow?

I believe it to be cowhide. Surprisingly in their labels they just say genuine hide.

Fantastic fit and look!

Thank you!


I’m wearing it as much as I can and it’s so comfortable. It really develops character.
