What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[HoosierDaddy]

awesome jacket. Has it darkened with wear?

No, it is the same as when I first received it. However in different light it can look antiqued gray or sometimes have a more brownish appearance if overcast. I quite like the unusual color.

Which model is that!? Throat latch and hookless have me confused! Looks spectacular!

It is as @Hh121 guessed, an Original Hercules, though the belt has been moved to a half-belt position. Picked it up during the Aero sale. Really like this jacket, the CXL breaking in sooner than I would have thought.

Brilliant mod to move the buckles up to the belt. Love that.

My closet says I have other jackets to wear. But my soul feels different. This Vanson has really rekindled my love for the brand. Feels like a cross between a Cr and a crosszip. Took these pics while exiting my space ship.

Well, the Hulk-green did not last... I took Obenauf's Oil to it to soften and darken the hide. The transformation resulted in a more muted, but I think attractive, dark olive appearance.

Wow... that’s some transition... I would never think a color could change like that with a single conditioner application...looks very good tho..

I find it impossible to stray from the path of the bike cross zip. I'll get tired of it once in awhile but it usually doesn't last long and then it strikes worse then ever before. Insanely cool jacket @ton312 .

^^^ Whoa!! Big difference! I like it MUCH better! Now you can wear it everyday as opposed to only St. Patricks day. lol.

Not sure what that is but awesome!

 

[Will Zach]

Yes, I was surprised on how profound the color change was with single application of Obenauf's. I think this is due to this being aniline-dyed leather, with no discrete top layer that I could see. The color will probably lighten up with time, but I can always apply a bit more. I do like it better that way - more versatile, for sure. I also like how the stitching popped up on the darkened hide.

Sweet merciful Jesus. Makes my Vanson look like it’s made from thin cut deli meat. That Kadoya is off the charts.

@Hh, That jacket would make your J23 crumple and cower in the corner!!! I heard you mention this BEAST before, but this is the first time I seen it. Is it a Langlitz made for a Japanese company? I have never heard of Kadoya!

Is that thing made out of Godzilla hide????

Thanks, RK!
The jacket weight 8.5 lbs, the hide is not as thick as LW, but it is super stiff(It bruised my arm from first few times try on when new) even compare to brand new LW 4oz plus HH.
The company has no business connection to Langlitz as far as I know, the hide (they called Hard Steer)is produced from Korea, and the jacket is made in China.
I don't see any difference from LW in terms of quality, I can't imagine how it is possible to sew this super stiff leather together.

The only downside of this jacket is the finish of the hide is rather easy to scratch off from normal use.

Price is around $720.

Do they have an English website or a translate option? I would love to check them out a little more.
