What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[Mickiemac]

I'm not sure quite honestly if its Firenze. This just arrived secondhand from Japan last week, and based on the seller's description I'm at least the third owner. It does have a serial number stamped on the inside pocket, so I guess I could contact Vanson and verify against their internal records.

Obviously it's not an apples to apples comparison but it's a full pound lighter (4.2 vs 5.2) than my old comp weight Model C in its back center seam glory. Here's a few quick comparison photos that I just snapped. The low sun angle earlier didn't really capture the Maverick's color adequately:

Your Brandy Roma is a beautiful shade, and like you, I was inspired to pick up a Maverick thanks the @torfjord's posts amongst others here with this same jacket. Shoutout to @JMax as well for allowing me to pick his brain before I pulled the trigger on this.

Thanks for your reply and the comparison images of your Model C and Maverick. From my observation your Maverick appears to be the Comp leather and is more in line with my Comp Maverick. Yes, Torfjord was the instigator (in a good way!) for myself and you to get a Maverick in the Brandy Roma. That makes 3 so far on this forum that I am aware of. Maybe those who like this style of jacket could flood Vanson with orders and deplete their supply of Brandy Roma leather! Regardless of style, the Roma leather is quite special and I'm glad Vanson has it on offer.

A side note regarding weight comparison - my Maverick in Comp is a bit more robust in heft compared to the Roma one which was more pliable right out of the box. They both fit the same but the non-Roma is a bit more restrictive due to it's stiffness (still!!).

AERO MAXWELL converted with some different cuffs and red liner ...

Pants are HBT Navy along with RED WING Engineers

I really like the look of lighter trousers and a darker leather jacket. More guys need to try the lighter trousers

One of my favourite styles.

Awesome.

@Mickiemac I’d say it is CW. Some of the non-black CW offerings drape, are more pliable from the start.

Thanks for your input - after viewing the images posted I agree - CW.

I am also seriously considering it!

How do you like the fit on this Vanson?

 

[Bennarion]

Mysteryo, cool​

 

[Mandarin]

Looks great.
I have the simplified version called Bandit (no belt loops, and no snaps for a detachable mouton collar). It's my best fitting CHP.

The jacket looks good on you and fits you well considering that you like to wear your jackets slighly "oversized" and with longer sleeves due to your other fit pictures...

Fits exactly as it should IMO

Slight bit of September in the Shires...

Easy to throw on. (CW)

Picked up this beautiful vintage German jacket. It's in deadstock condition

Will post some more photos of it in the relevant thread.

This is always my favorite day of the year. It’s a sign that unrelenting heat will eventually pass (not soon, back up near 90 next week). But man it feels good to have a feel like temp in the 30’s! No A/C, no fans, just open windows and fresh air.

Nice to be able to give the Western Wear by Sears jacket a spin this AM. This is def going to be a favorite.

Gonna be awhile until leather weather for me. Or jacket weather in general.

That kind of heat this time of year is irritating. Upper 80’s here next week. I’m really looking forward to the days when it doesn’t break 40.
