Same jacket (well, my only jacket). Starting to break in and feel more comfortable. The boots are new, and are a pretty rough break in (doesn't help that I lost my toenails skiing this year).

@Marc mndt & @Newc, really awesome fitting gear and even cooler styling. Simply great.

That trucker! You should post pics of this more often. I need to see it at least once a week I think.

Always dig your style but this just might be my favorite yet. I wish I had a tenth of your artistic design ability. I can only imagine that it's even more satisfying for you to see your vision come together and to be able to wear a truly one off.

Didn't really wear today but wanted to take advantage of the sun shining as permacloud returns tomorrow:

The Bates pull is the only ID I can find, but that's definitely not conclusive evidence. I don't know enough to say for sure one way or the other. Regardless, another heavy, but supple and easy wearing 5+ lb hide.

I have some more detail photos but not sure where to post. If it is a Bates there doesn't appear to be a dedicated thread for the brand.

Pretty happy this week.

Bates

Haha, thanks! Not really in a position for a lot of the big guns seen here such as LW (could, but wouldn't be the best decision). Fortunately with a smaller frame the used vintage market is where I tend to focus. Build quality isn't the same but with some patience I've managed to find some gems that punch above their weight.

I actually broke one of my rules in that the seller's photos were crap, but I could see the Bates pull so I went ahead and BIN'd it. Main reason being the price was ridiculously low, so minimal risk with huge upside. Probably my best value eBay find ever.

Cleaning up my old posts where I incorrectly identified this jacket as a Bates. Thanks to the keen eyes of members more knowledgeable than I this has been determined to be a Vanson.

Thanks man, i truly enjoy wearing it and looking it as room decoration, the hide is 1.5mm and 2mm tooling leather to make wallet, keyfob, belt loop, and the tailor is usually work with soft leather and the whole thing being experimental, so up close especially at the facing near the collar inside where last minute decission was made since the leather was too thick to fold there, but as a whole i see it as part of its identity being a prototype. It has raw edges, stained blue by the brass metal hardware itself on one sleeve i think they left a stud on it overnight on the desk and saw it stained the next morning and tried to clean it so it got worse , marked, empty needle hole since it cant go further, so much character from the start, and being natural pale vegtan it would add a lot more pretty soon, i wore it wet yesterday leaning against my seat, and the dust on my back rest already stained the back and the netting texture of my lumbar pillow marked it while wet So happy with it and looking forward to see how it transforms into

BTW I wet moulded the small pockets one with measuring tape, the other with a deck of playing card

Dude, that looks awesome, you should consider designing clothes as a part time job at least.

Thanks @Fonzie
I love to see my drawing got made, is a fun experience indeed, just dont know who want to trust a freelance comic artist with architecture degree, and zero education in clothing to be designing jacket for them hahaha

It got a shade darker perhaps after some uv exposure and light conditioning. Totally dry and stiff like a brand new boot.

Did it shrink? Did you submerge the jacket in the bathtub or just sprayed it?
