Are they no' gettin' a bit big fur ye "wee man" ?

I know a Fat Barsteward to whom they may be vey well recieved !

 

[Peter Mackin]

Naw they fit like a glove,,unlike that raid you bought. Stop depriving yourself of the doughnuts, and Guinness, move it along and put the money towards some nice shiny bits for the Z900,,,,,

 

[Bawheid]

Izzat like a "big" glove or a "wee" glove ?

Just how much layering can a skinny minny do ?

This coming West Australian winter the Vanson raid from New Zealand will find it's forte...

Might even do one of them "fit pics" where you cut the heid aff to show more jacket !

PS that's a wee z not a big Z !

 

[Peter Mackin]

Don't do it,,you look very handsome at 95 kg,,,

 

[Bawheid]

what " Like a man with nae heid" ya mean !

Profuse apologies to the other forumites following this thread, for the Scottish flavoured ( sorry flavored) banter

Look at this boys:
German Air Force Officer Coat Replica, weighs 5kg or 11 lb at size 36.
Talk about a monster coat? Would be pretty ideal of a colder version of a post apocalyptic earth. Although the weight would probably really crush you.
Such a beauty though.
Wonder if it uses the typical vanson fake mouton or the real deal.

A while back on eBay there was this same model in a size 60 $500.00
I posted it in here somewhere…

It was way too big for me, but I was SOO tempted. It would have been SUCH a statement coat. It think it was for someone like 6’8” tall, too. So just a whole cow’s worth of CW leather.

It would be the perfect thing to stand on rooftops and wait for criminals to battle. I’m sure it would conceal a ton of magic potions, ninja stars, and grappling hooks.

This Vanson Raid will be a good winter jacket here in Australia, but it was too hot in the slower traffic today in 28C.
Apology for the rough selfies.
Top quality leather with plenty of break in to go.

I just got this Vanson but I think it’s too big. It’s a Legacy Brando. I can easily wear a thick wool sweater under it. What do you guys think?

 

[TZRZ421]

I’m 5’11 205 lbs. it’s a 44. I need to lay off the lagers.

NO ! Lagers are the fountain of youth, perhaps the Holy Grail.

Well that's my theory and it seems to be working. 5foot 11 and 92Kg....

Ok, these phoros make it very hard to judge the actual fit.

From what I see, the jacket doesn´t look too big; quite good, actually. For a real assessment, you would need to close the jacket and get your hands free.

We have the same genes. I was born in Scotland.

Put your other leg on the scales big guy

Indeed we do Sir.

I have been here in Australia longer than I was in Scotland.

BUT the genes don't lie haha...

For clarification within a short time frame I intend to be sub 90Kg and use my recently acquired VANSON RAID IN 42 as my Australian 'Winter" jacket

Fake mouton. But you can make your own. It is not very difficult. Black is no longer produced in a quality finish in America. I have seen some blacks moutons from Pakistan, but I have seen them turn into a greenish tone. No bueno, that is why Americans do not produce it in black anymore. In Ebay, you can get some vintage in many colors, including black.

My first Vanson

CHP made in the 80-90's and absolutely stunning in my opinion.
The leather is super smooth and pliable while still weighing a ton, just quality stuff!

The fit is short which is exactly what I was after while looking for a black, short, CHP-style jacket
