Vanson. Quick ride today to check the jacket out. Awesome. Like my LW Trojan, the jacket fits and feels the same in either a t shirt or a thick fisherman sweater, which I wore on the bike today.

That looks great!
Does the collar have no snaps at all? That's interesting.
I like that sort of magical fit too, where it works with a t shirt or a heavy sweater. Brilliant.
Look at you jumping right back up on the horse… leather.
The zipper seems to start further up than other jackets in this style. Judging by the appearance of the stitch holes, it appears it's a replacement zip, with the original zip starting about 2" up from the hem. I guess it makes it easier to sit down with the jacket still zipped?
Actually that is the original zipper. This jacket originally had a button on belt. I’ve actually thought about sending it to Dena to have the zipper lowered…but yes the splay does make it easier to sit in. This is an interesting jacket. Has all the styling elements of a surcoat but fits more like a standard sports jacket/Halfbelt. It’s only 26” long/blunt cut hem.The zipper seems to start further up than other jackets in this style.

Shows what I know, lol. Looks like a LHB by design but yes I guess it's a bit short for that.Actually that is the original zipper. This jacket originally had a button on belt.
