It's a motorcycle tuxedo.
Yes, it's my listing on ebay. It's priced as a "find" but it's a lot due to ebay fees. 13.5% commission, including the sales tax and shipping makes it closer to 15% which makes me almost not want to sell anything there.
They say its tagged as a 54EU/44US but those measurements...I know SLP is gonna run slim but still.
I like it. Do these top coats fail because of age, sun, oils? And I can imagine they don't fail uniformly like we would hope. How would one mitigate a quasi state? Additionally what are some of these top coats made from usually such as a schott non naked leather?
This is the second one of these that I've seen in leather. I have the other, it's a size 38 and too small for me, although I can squeeze into it, but it's made from some of the nicest comp weight leather I've ever handled.
I'm not sure what the function of the sleeve stitching is but it doesn't seem to be for armor pockets. But armored would be a cool option for the model. The sleeves are very nicely formed to curve for a naturally comfortable riding position.
I like the narrowness of the sleeves - I find that larger sleeves don't look good on me.
Ahh, you're right @Guppy thank you. I must say that I like the Japanese pre-owned version better than the new piece on Vanson's website.
They have been -- the tannery that supplied them burned down and went out of business in 2017 or 2018. The leather they are calling "Comp weight" isn't the same as what they were using prior.
@ton312 should be Vansons official model especially for the E. If I recall Tony has had like 15 different Model Es that somehow no matter the leather, color, accessories, or custom tweaks, he made look badass.
