Sorry, They are not phone pics. I upload photos from my camera to my Google photos. Copy the address and paste in image icon here. Same as I always do. I noticed the Thurlow Deerskin seems to have showed up. Thanks for letting me know.

Images from Google photos need to have their links converted so they display consistently. There are websites where link conversions for Google images can be created.

And that, is how that B-3 has to be worn IMHO. Ignore the eye watering expense and let it get well broken in and a bit grubby.
I could never understand what people saw in these jackets because they always look pristine and too mannered in the images.
Now I understand the appeal, this looks warm and comfortable. Nice score.

German weather is officially picking a fight with me; jumping from 20+°C and too warm to wear leather to 5°C and too cold to wear leather with no inbetween. None of my leathers is lined thick enough to handle that; only option rn is Carhartt Fleece Lined Hoodie with Vanson Dakota on top of it but that makes me look like a ballon so there's that. Looking at Vanson Chopper right now in the hope Vansons quilted lining can keep me warm at these temperatures. @ton312 Can it?

Time to move to another place I think, somewhere that has 10-15°C 300 days of the year. Suggestions? :D

I believe it can!! My model E’s with a thin hoody underneath were serviceable for most of the Chicago winter! But the one thing they had that the chopper doesn’t is a snap of faux mouton collar. When you flip that puppy up the face cracking wind is rendered powerless.

Kille!! Can you tell me what leather you went for, pls.

That is Vansons competition weight leather. Probably an older batch though, a jacket ordered new from Vanson would look similar but not identical. There was a thread about variations in Vansons comp weight leather ok the frontpage just a day or two ago, look it up to see pictures of differences between comp weight leather from batch to batch.
