Horsehide of some sort, not sure where it’s from though.That’s awesome. X-150? I miss that hide.
Edit- Doesn’t look like X. Still looks amazing.

LOL. Whosoever holds this spearpoint, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Ton.Next owner may disagree.
Same here. I bought an older comet and really a noticeable difference. I'm still ok with the new leather, but the old one is on another level in my opinion.Thank you! You’ve of course been one of the TFL master jedis that never stopped advocating the pleasures of the “old” comp weight.
I love war storys regardless of the level of truth, and I really thought the ”legend of the old Vanson” was one of them.
I stand corrected and very happy about it!
Any idea around what year the old competition leather changed?I’ve got a Vanson e route myself. The older ones, right after the label turned to yellow text, are soo good. This ENF looks perfect on you! Well done!
Fairly recent. Definitely after 2010, that’s the last time I received a new Vanson and the old comp weight was still there.Any idea around what year the old competition leather changed?
Amazing piece, where’s it from?Mandarin collar and collared shirt. A controversial combination.

The Cafe Racer? It’s from FiveStar. Own details, own measurements.Amazing piece, where’s it from?
Wow, looks a lot more expensive, what’s the leather option?The Cafe Racer? It’s from FiveStar. Own details, own measurements.
This is premium goat in black and certainly one of the best choices when ordering from 5*. But the jacket has also become good because I really specified a lot of individual details. Except for the zipper, I would do it again the same way.Wow, looks a lot more expensive, what’s the leather option?
Surprising that’s goat, doesn’t seem to have the pebbled goat texture. What’s wrong with the wear, the pattern?This is premium goat in black and certainly one of the best choices when ordering from 5*.

But even if this jacket has become really good, the wear does not satisfy me as that of my other jackets.
No, the pattern is fine. Super comfortable, easy to wear. Maybe it's too light or maybe I'm not a goatskin person. Maybe it's just that the better is the enemy of the good. My other leathers just feel and look better.Surprising that’s goat, doesn’t seem to have the pebbled goat texture. What’s wrong with the wear, the pattern?
Looks great on you!View attachment 498955
