My "new" Vanson Mercury. Beautiful jacket, great heavy but supple leather. The only problem is the faint but irritating smell of Febreze. Jeeze, I wish people wouldn't use that stuff on leather.

What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

Bought this used off original owner. Was custom ordered long in torso as original owner was not a biker.
Had a leather shop shorten torso length 1.5” and added two way main zipper.
Langlitz added back pinstripes for trimer fit.
My thoughts as of late:
Langlitz medium weight leather is very thick. It provides good protection on motorcycle but is too heavy for everyday wear.
If I was to custom order, I would go with lightweight leather, no arm pockets, keep torso length 1-1.5” longer than standard configuration, dress collar and double main zip for occasional bike use.
I would find this combination more usable everyday wear jacket.

Awesome.
I’ve been on the hunt for a Lawrence jacket ever since you posted the two you own. For two plus years all my search finds are Cobra Kai jackets. Very frustrating.

Late to this too! Sure sorry to have missed this JMax and very glad you are ok and starting to heal up there.
More reason than ever to keep my LW J23 around!

Eastman G-1. I’m afraid my J-24 is going to get jealous and knife it in the night. Better keep them in separate closets.
