Same here, 4oz or plus always my first choice, but lighter hide is from LW is extremely nice and robust as well, including his goatskin, you will not be disappointed, I guarantee you.

Religiously check Ebay. To the point that my wife has mentioned an intervention. When they pop up under $750 or so you better hit bin or it’s a no-go. LW is my kryptonite. But I’ve been selling other jackets and my Star Wars collection off so its been easy to justify. I’ve got about 2,000 pieces of toys left to sell. Lol. That makes my wife happy. More space for her stuff.

Just met a bunch of Argentines on Enduro bikes who were wearing Vanson. Amazing how these jackets kick off interesting conversations.

Which one you feel thicker between Trojan and J23?

I would say they are the same. Not like my CHP, which loosened up rather quickly. Same 4oz leather though. The Trojan has to be from around the same period as the J23.

Thanks my man. Gotten positive comments from my usual barkeeps, in S Fl so they really don’t have a clue but still well received.

Today wearing my Buzz Navy A-2 deck jacket; I’ve added my Navy Surface Warfare Specialist patch (aviators have their wings, submariners have their “dolphins”, and the surface Navy have their own specific warfare qualification insignia).

Vanson Enfield. Has been my go-to jacket for the past 2 months, with the occasional exception here and there.
