    Damn. That price is unreal.

    Heavy Sweaters - Medium/40

    I understand. I would, of course, cover full shipping, just so you know.

    Heavy Sweaters - Medium/40

    Really interested in the first two, but I'm located in the Netherlands. Can you make an exception?

    FS: Red Wing Beckman resoled by Role Club size 8 D Burgundy

    You got it! But I'm sincerely hoping these'll be a pure joy to walk on.

    What a shitty move. Is there anything you can do about that? File a complaint to eBay customer support?

    When is close enough, good enough? What would you do?

    If I were you, I'd definitely wait until you can compare the two. At least then, you won't be left wondering if the 42 would have been better or not.

    Holy smokes, wherever did you get that two-tone???

    An example of Vanson's new Comp Weight when (almost) Fully Broken In

    I'm well aware, I'm lucky enough to own a vintage C2 and model E that share similar brown undertones, and include the older hardware. However, besides the brownish patina, this is still a gorgeous jacket (I can almost imagine what that fully broken-in hide feels like), and to me it would be...

    Badalassi Carlo Nappa - Second jacket from Tony Leathers

    Holy cow, that is a stellar jacket. The fit works so well on you, and the leather is an absolute dream. Enjoy!

    An example of Vanson's new Comp Weight when (almost) Fully Broken In

    Great idea for a thread. @OP would it be possible to take some more close-up pictures of the leather on your Chopper, in clear daylight and a higher-res camera? I think one of the most important factors at play here is the actual wear put into a Vanson. Believe me, I've been trying for 3 years...

    Wearing a Vanson CHP with belt or without

    I love the look of the belt, both with the jacket zipped and unzipped. However, the last time I wore a crosszip with the belt, I still had my Schott 618. The thing I dislike about belts on most crosszip jackets is the fact that they hang loose around the jacket. The Perfecto doesn't have this...

    Leather Jacket Question for Athletic Build

    Being somewhat of an atheltic build myself, I find I usually don't get bothered too much by 'excess' leather at the waist. This excess material will get evened out as well by the width of your chest, in my experience. The buckles on Vanson jackets are very functional in trimming down the waist...

    Why Should I Buy A Vanson?

    I personally quite like the collar on the Enfield. It reminds me of the collar on Indiana Jones' jacket. It's an understated collar, while to me the collar on the Oxford seems too 'flashy', for lack of a better word. I can see how to other folks, the Enfield collar would be too...

    Hanging jackets on a wall.

    Hi all, here to revive this useful thread and interesting insight into people's jacket storage habits. As I live in a small house on a college student's budget, I don't have a lot of space available to me. However, what small amount of money I do have does seem to keep finding its way to new...

    Why Should I Buy A Vanson?

    Two excellent jackets you got there. And what a cool move to add a gun pocket to the Enfield. Have fun breaking these in! It'll take forever, but it will be well worth it in the end. For any folks in smaller sizes (34-38), there are some seriously amazing vintage Vansons on Japanese auction...

    FOR SALE: Keystone Engineer Boots, 7.5D, Dark Brown steerhide

    Up for sale is one of the best engineer boots you can get on the market today. Everything about the profile and hardware just screams "1940s Chippewa" to me. These are made in Japan, and getting through the waitlist takes about half a year. Not only are these boots gorgeous to behold, but...

    Aero Board Racer Cordovan FQHH (size tag 40, fits like 38) FOR SALE

    Howdy folks, up for sale is a magnificent Aero Board Racer in truly fantastic Cordovan FQHH. I feel sad to have to sell this one, as this color is just something else. When I first got it, I fooled myself into thinking it'd fit, but it's just a tad too small for me. I wore it for a...
