X-2 Vanson from Legacy Clothing. Finally!

[dmoser1978]

So, after a very long interregnum from the time I ordered till delivery, I finally got my Vanson X-2 (X-Men 2) jacket from Legacy Clothing.

I ordered the jacket about 3 years ago and have been in contact with James in the meantime to keep me up to date on the progress. He was very good as I changed the jacket order from one style to another and the size I as I grew (got fat) a bit in the mean time. He was always prompt with his responses and we finally go the jacket delivered.

I'm 5'11", 205lbs, and wearing a size 42. I think it turned out great, and I love all the suede leather details on the jacket.

I don't remember seeing you mention this before, but it takes me right back to the old days on the FilmJackets forum, looking at Logan's Closet Vanson X-Men replicas.

I don't know Legacy Clothing. What are the details on this one please? Hide etc.

You look very fierce in the photos, but I bet you're over the moon.

Legacy is what Logan's Closet became. Same guys, I think they wanted to move into clothing / jackets beyond what Hugh Jackman wore.

It's a competition weight jacket, not stiff but definitely needs breaking in. It's a real motorcycle jacket though, based on the Vanson Model B.

I would have no way of tracking this, but apparently the actual, screen used jacket from X-Men 2 was up for auction last July!

If only I had known!
