Apparently I looked angry in my last post so I got a haircut and put on a smile for this. Rainbow Country/California Mfg. “Allstate”.
What is the t-shirt? It looks very nice.Thank you, @Will Zach !
This kind of relaxed look is just what I like and prefer. The t-shirt is a bit shorter than most of my tees and I also find it to be a good match for the jacket.
I like the way the jacket fitsEarly 60s Taubers straight zip View attachment 637445 Police jacket. Leather on the orange label jackets are not noted. Not horsehide. Measurements said too big, but it fits fine. Taubers are a favorite.

Is this Maverick the 'Firenze' leather vice the Comp? Is it a recent acquisition or one you obtained some time ago? I have one in the Comp Leather (2019) and it doesn't have the drape/softness yours appears to have. Picked up a Maverick in the Brandy Roma about 3 weeks ago - that leather is super nice. Thanks for posting - the Vanson Maverick is the Type 3 that always looks right.Vanson Maverick:

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.Is this Maverick the 'Firenze' leather vice the Comp?

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.I'm not sure quite honestly if its Firenze.

I really like the look of lighter trousers and a darker leather jacket. More guys need to try the lighter trousersAERO MAXWELL converted with some different cuffs and red liner ...

Thanks for your input - after viewing the images posted I agree - CW.Awesome.
@Mickiemac I’d say it is CW. Some of the non-black CW offerings drape, are more pliable from the start.
