I like this thread idea! In high school I had a huge oversized (it was the 90s!) drizabone with a really nice snap in wool Sherpa liner. While living in Maine I sold it too my roommate, who was a bit overweight and it actually fit him really well. He had major coat envy and was a good dude so...

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 wind flap also stops the zipper from eating your Tshirts. don’t the Model B and the board racer have the same collar? I Love vansons comp weight leather, but I ride, the bainbridge looks awesome. Ton took some great pictures of his Bainbridge vanson.

Those sleeves are huge… I assumed you hadn’t zipped up the wrists until you lifted up your arms.

I actually do wear gloves, this was a quick “hey let me turn around and you can snap a picture of me and my bike!”

I’m not exactly sure what you’re asking, but if you mean, Do riding pants usually have a higher rise waist then usual pants? then absolutely yes they do. Modern jeans and slacks are cut with a much lower rise than they “should” be. Pants used to ride at your waist, around your belly button...

I have a couple Vanson vent max armored shirts and I wear them under various leather jackets if I’m feeling marginal about their protection capabilities. They’re made from 1000 denier Cordura mesh and fully armored. The mesh is funny, you can see though it but it is hard, almost made from thin...

Your facial expression says it all.

These jackets…. I don’t even mind the colors or studs, but the long torso pattern is the absolute worst.

I wonder if these were the inspiration for Quarks outfits on Deep Space 9

Something was very wrong with whichever horse that that hide came from.

One of the reasons I’m such a Vanson fan is they make tracksuits that are sturdy enough that they’ll repair them after a get off. The seams have fewer stitches per inch than is fashionable because fewer holes in the leather makes a stronger seam. I hear good things about other brands but I’ll...

I think that Crowtree is awesome, too but If you’re asking the question “should I keep this” then the answer is usually, no. Keep the jackets that speak to you.

I have this same HG! They’re VERY nice replicas, I need to reinforce the buttons on mine before I can wear it regularly, but I love mine. Just 35-40 minutes of hooks, clips, and buttons and you’re out the door!
