I have a Sportrider (2 actually - one solid, one perforated). And I have an AR2. And I have a Vanson x Union Garage V7. And I have Vanson pants.
I think the V7 is the best “real motorcycle jacket that can be worn casually” of the bunch. And it zips to Vanson Traveler/Sportrider pants...
I have a Filson Oil Finish Tin Cloth Outfitter Coat (model 660N) in size Large, with a wool jacket liner in brown (model 122). The 660N is a discontinued model with hand warmer pockets that serve as flaps for the bellows pockets. The nearest current model is the Tin Cloth Field Jacket that has...
I just wore my version of this jacket to walk the dog. It has the best shoulder gusset of any motorcycle jacket ever. This is a stupid deal - someone ought to strike right now.
Before doing anything else, I would leave it out in the sun a few days - maybe a week or so, turning it frequently. It looks as if it has spent its life in a closet to date. That might highlight the differences in shade - or it might not. After that, I might touch up the sheep with Obenaufs...
Any interest in an Vanson AR2? Obviously a different collar, but a very similar jacket overall. I have a size 42, sized on the small end, which would work for you.

Staying in the family so if it doesn’t fit or doesn’t get a regular spot in the rotation, you’ll all see it again. But I think this one is a keeper, even if I only use it to ride my Bonnie to the Starbucks.

My experience is that AR2 / AR3 fit about the same as V7 and that the Chopper is slightly more generous.
I am a 42 in AR2/AR3, my V7 is a 44 (and I could wear a 42), and my 42 Chopper was nearly as large as my 44 V7.
I have one of these in a size 42. The two-pocket design is very clean, especially if you remove the belt, and the leather is very nice. This is a great deal.
