    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I had the same problem with mine, arms too narrow. Can’t say @Marc mndt didnt warm me but the lure was too great

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Finally found one of these Vanson waxed jackets in the right size at a price I couldn’t pass up. This model is the stormer trials, immediately out of the box and on my back. Love it Yes the sleeves are long…no escaping it lol. In these pics the looser wrist snap is engaged, will play around with it

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Interesting and very looong timelines @realgone They had the 38 and 40 in stock so the only waiting I had to deal with was shipping back and forth plus a few days for processing all told. As for the 40 being a “41” I could believe it…the ptp was 23.25 rather than the expected 22.5 from their...

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Interesting. But I thought Bates prices were really high? In any case I had a vintage one and loved much about it but hated the stiff kidney panel (and the one I had was a little small on me) The right arm sleeve is mostly zipped but not quite all the way, left arm has several inches unzipped I...

    Popeye? Like his big ol forearms lol? I do think the sleeves on this are too long and they are completely “fresh” with no break in which may be giving it that look?

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Hah good question. In a way I’m trying to replace my 618. I want to make the jacket in Badalassi with shorter arms and maybe no back seam if it can be done (gasp!). I like the 618 I have a lot but I think this C2 project can be better. This is intended as just the first in a series of projects...

    Well that was quite the delay but here’s the 38 vs 40 comparison on the C2. The 38 is still roomy and yeah the arms are kinda big (I’m aiming to get them 1” shorter). But I don’t expect the 36 would be comfortable.

    For those curious, the modern fit 38 C2 fits great (vs my standard 40). Pics to follow soon

    Thanks yall I think I just needed to hear there wasn’t some prevailing wisdom that new Vansons look too big at first or something

    Another shot showing how big the back looks Feels like sizing down is the way to go. Even if the chest is on the trimmer side, when the big arms should be plenty of space. Fingers crossed!

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    I've only had used Vansons so far, but that makes sense about them relaxing. And totally agree about the back vs the front... I re-measured and actually get 23.25" chest, whereas the stated 5" ease should give 22.5". In fact, I asked a few weeks ago and they are looking into it. I understand...

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Working on a custom C2 project with Vanson. Trying out some stock models for sizing. This is a 40 with the rayon lining. About 23” chest which is a bit big on me, and .5” bigger than expected from their measurements. Sleeves definitely too long, will probably ask for 1-1.5” off the final make...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Hey guys a couple of points. It’s not a group buy, I’m buying from Rainbow Country to resell. Some folks are going to pre-order but dunno how many, and I have to be able to pay Rainbow Country for the order. This is my first rodeo doing this so there are a lot of unknowns. I based my pricing...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Testing out new Sugar Cane pants, too hot for the RC Hercules but the pants are a winner in my book. Roomy enough to feel breezy but not super oversized either. Really dig how this all works together. I’ll be posting more about it soon but Rainbow Country has agreed to let me be a vendor for...
