    Caring for cotton oxford shirts

    Hey all, Could you give advice for caring for my cotton oxford shirts? The thing I like best about cotton oxford is the rich, full texture. The problem is when I iron them they go all flat. I'm reluctant to stick them in the dryer b/c of shrinkage. So how do I get rid of the wrinkles while...

    Vanson 4025 Portland jacket prototype

    Bunyip, what customizations did you have done on your Chopper? I ordered one with a 2-way zip. It's due to arrive in May.

    (For CXL Freaks Only) What's with Japan and Thick Leather?

    I'm not Japanese, but my wife is and I've spent a lot of time there. So here's my opinion. When it comes to clothes most people are into shape, pattern, and colour. More than anyone I've seen, the Japanese are into texture. I agree with devilish -- texture and weight are equated to...

    Vanson open house. Worth going to?

    Bunyip, as far as I remember vanson only brought about 10 jackets or so to sell. Scuderia already had an inventory of about 30 jackets or so. For the chopper there was 1 sample in a medium in addition to the one medium they have for sale.

    Vanson open house. Worth going to?

    Thanks gents. Ended up going last night. The selection was a bit disappointing but I was able to try on the Vanson Chopper. What a jacket! Kim vanson was also incredibly nice and helpful, and very knowledgeable about the hides they use. I always thought vanson only used two leathers --...

    Goatskin motorcycle gloves?

    The safety v. style debate is an ongoing issue for me. FYI, I ride a Moto Guzzi V7 Classic. If safety were no issue I'd ride with a half helmet, my aero cafe racer, jeans, engineer boots, and some basic leather gloves. The problem is I truly hate the look of most moto gear out there. What...

    New Jacket from Johnson Leathers

    Vespizzare, great jacket!!!! Johnson Leathers actually did a great job replacing the zipper on my Aero cafe racer, and I've gone there a few times to look at the jackets. Alan's been super nice to talk to every time. BTW, good to see you on the forum -- I'm active on MV as well.
