It looks great on you! And you just told me the maker of a jacket that I've had for some time. I also thought it might be horsehide but was not sure, great leather! Will try to post a picture.
Wear it and keep it!

PLEASE don't let go of this jacket! All of your jackets are very high-end but this one not only stands up to anything in your wardrobe, but it's possibly the best fitting piece you got, in my humble opinion. Or rather my favorite. And noticeably so! Not to mention that I cannot decide whether the jacket fits you better zipped or unzipper. This is another level altogether! I'm a huge Vanek fan and I had no clue they're capable of this!
Also, first thing that came to my mind was WW2 era photos of Luftwaffe pilots. The jacket fits you EXACTLY like that - Something that no actual reproduction ever managed to achieve to such an extent.
I'm glad these guys are getting the exposure they deserve, and FINALLY at that! Let's get some business their way!

That's amazing! Great photoshop skills!
You really need an axe now... "Complete the look" as they say.
The vest is really nice too.
Haha nice one!
Thanks a lot for this. Unfortunately the skills are not really available. It's done on the iPad and it's so easy that anyone can do it. But it's fun lol

Perfect in every way! Not a jacket you'll see coming your direction anywhere, let alone on here. I'd keep that gem if I were you and it fit the way it does.
I reached out to them via e-mail about 2 weeks back - no response so far. If anyone has better information on how to get a hold of them, please DM me. Thanks

I guess sometimes UPS just randomly delivers you a leather jacket. I can go with that. Dunno what to say, @Carlos840 !
Schott CHP.
Now THIS is an awesome gesture! With all Monitor has been through in the past year - it's great that folks on here are showing care & concern. Especially for one who is an over-the-top jacket addict!

It feels and looks like a million bucks, plus for once in my life, with the mouton & the belt, I finally have a full CHP set. This pretty much makes the Chopper redundant.

@ALL Thanks so much for your positive feedback. I've just compared again the leather thickness and TBH the thickness and heaviness of the leather is similar to CX FQHH from Aero /SB but I'm tempted to say that I like this leather more. I'm just glad that I took the risk and bought it for tiny 250€ for an almost new jacket. I really don't understand why don't have as much business as Aero...I think they simply don't know that there is a market even if it is a niche market or they think of themselves that they cannot compete with other well known makers. They should create an Instagram account and start making and posting jackets. I guess they also make traditional leather wear, at least what I've seen on Facebook.
@red devil How much do they charge for a new one? Which jacket style and leather did you choose? Any info on the leather (thickness, tannery, etc.)? Waiting time obviously is very short.
@torfjord Yes, I agree with you, Vanek should be standard for many of us there as the quality is quite high. I only found them on Facebook and their phone number is +43 7474 224
