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.
