WTS: vintage Vanson CHFH size 44 cow print and fringed CHP style jacket

Now here's something you don't see everyday...

This is an older fringe jacket model Vanson used to sell called the CHFH in a size 44 with a cow skin/print upper body. I've included a photo of the model in its standard black makeup to get a better sense of how it looks and will add better photos with measurements shortly (though I would say it fits like every other Vanson 44 I have put on).

Frankly I am undecided on whether or not I want to sell this thing. it is incredibly well made, great old comp weight, and fits like a glove. The question is if I can justify the purchase and actually wear it out and about. The front lapels don't have snaps like you'd typically see on a double rider situation like this, and if I keep it I will definitely use a binder clip to tease them into place or ask Vanson about adding snaps, but wanted to note since it's not typical of this style in my experience.

Vanson told me this was made in April of 1994, originally for display in their showroom before moving to a dealer. I just bought this on eBay, and I can return it but thought I'd post here and give someone a chance to buy it directly rather than return it back to another auction for the seller.

I'm asking exactly what I paid for plus shipping, so $340 plus shipping. I am in NYC.

Better photos and measurements to come.

Fit pics, for what it's worth.

Also there is a very slight nick in the back shoulder. Nothing major, not sure if would be super simple to fix since it's in the cow but maybe a patch from the other side or just some glue or stitching would be simple enough.

And finally some measurements.

P.S. Anyone know how to make it simpler to insert the images into the post? I see a few options and can't figure out how to make them 'insertable' since it's not consistent what images I can insert or not...

Going to send this one back to its seller on Ebay so final call if anyone wants it....otherwise I'd set an alert on Ebay for Vanson fringe and see if you can get it at a better bid price than I did!
