    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Ah! Rose Anvil, he wears a pair to “recover” from his boots, I think he has a pair of Lems. I’ll revisit his channel.

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Minimalist as in wide toe box, no heel drop, and a thin sole that's flexible enough to feel the ground through it. A "barefoot" shoe. Something that feels like this... But that looks more like this...

    Leather jacket sizing, too big or small?

    The sleeves are the right length, they're falling too far on your hands because the shoulder seam of the jacket is hanging a little past your natural shoulder width. As far as the rest, I think we need to see it zipped and from the side. It WILL look better as it wears in, but it won't change sizes.

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    I may make this question it’s own thread, but does anyone have a good suggestion for minimalist footwear that works with heavy jackets.

    Fringed biker jackets?

    I like everything about this jacket, the fringe that goes around the cuffs, how they kept it away from the wrist, the double flap pockets with the D pocket, and the length is right on point. It’s a personal taste thing, but i think so many riders are cut a little long in front, I really like...

    Fringed biker jackets?

    I know I’ve seen them. Not the Easy Rider western suede jacket but a black cross zip with fringe on the arms and back. Maybe a concho or two. Anyone know the history of the fringed black cross zip? I’m keeping an eye on EBay but any suggestions for brands? Schott made a few. Anyone own one of...

    The original idea was you'd just keep your one motorcycle key on it, the leather wouldn't scratch your tank when it flopped around in the wind.

    Vanson! Vanson! Vanson!

    Vanson made it's name building custom track suits for non sponsored riders who pay for their own gear and needed a suit that would survive multiple spills and eventually be repairable. Their experience is applied into the fit, stitching, seam placement, and patterns of all their jackets. I’d...

    WTB: Vanson Teton 44-46

    Hey! Have you seen this jacket? Not the same jacket look, but functionally very similar is the Vanson cordura “outback” jacket. They rebranded these as a Suzuki Quadrunner, but they’re really a great touring jacket. Big pockets, tons of ventilation, and a subdued look.

    I think two days ago? It’s a Vanson XL, so I think a 27 pit to pit? It’s a big one for sure…

    I caught another one… Ever since I found Vanson, two jackets had eluded me. One was the Swedish Dispatch coat, which I finally did find, but the other is the TT (Tourist Trophy) touring coat. An armored leather take on the Barbour International, like the Lewis leathers Roadmaster. I haven’t...

    The Benrus does run smaller, I have a Vanson Dover waxed cotton jacket in a Vanson Medium that’s pretty tight, and the Benrus Lrg is like, 3/4 of an inch more from pit to pit than the Vanson Med. Good reason to put down the cakes and pick up the weights. The Benrus is an awesome build. Full...

    Glock in Jacket Pistol Pocket (?)

    I always thought it was pretty funny that the gun pocket came in all the police models and all the "outlaw" models. I mean come on! What kind of mischief IS this??

    Vanson! Vanson! Vanson!

    They look a little different than the one I bought years ago. Mine has leather sidewalls on the pockets, and leather gussets on the sleeves. The pockets make a ton of sense, the bottoms of pockets are where you start to see holes first, but sleeve gussets? Why make the part of the cuff that...

    Vanson! Vanson! Vanson!

    it’s too late anyway, but does anyone know the sizing of the Vanson Benrus “long waxed jacket” (another Stormer variant)? I know the Vanson Large is huge, like a 46” plus 4” of ease. The butterscotch Stormer Vanson is a 44” with, I’m not sure, less ease? I have a Benrus on the way so I’ll...

    I’m going through the same thing with my “used” Hardcore Hwy. A little spray, wear it for a few hours, repeat. I also use some strategic lanolin. Just a tiny bit rubbed into the elbows and collar. I mean a TINY AMOUNT. On the padded Hardcore I also hit the quilting. VERY lightly. I find it lets...
