After discussing with a member who compared Vibergs with Red Wings (also in terms of price) I decided to keep them as comparing 330€ Red Wings with brand new Vibergs for 800€ (here in Germany) isn't realistic in my opinion. Probably I'll wear them next weekend. :-)

I made the same experience when I received a two-tone Sunburst made of black/cordovan tumbled CXFQHH a while ago - the weight felt like my Vicenza Wayfarer and lighter in weight than standard CXFQHH. Of course, probably batches may vary. Less break-in is needed when selecting tumbled CXFQHH.
Hello guys,
I'm searching for a Freewheelers or Real Mccoy's (size 40) leather jacket in new or used (at least very good condition) condition located in the EU to avoid VAT+duty. I'm not searching for a specific model but if it was a FW Mulholland I would be more than happy. So, please offer...
@Mandarin @Jin431 Funny story to come.
I've shared the link of your former/current black Engelbert Vanek with the seller (located in Berlin) of the two 50's leather jackets telling him that the leather of the black one is very similar to the Vanek. He has just answered as follows: "This is...

The seller told me that he actually knows Vanek leather jackets very well (equipped the Austrian Gendarmgerie / Police) but this one is definitely NOT a Vanek and it's from the 50's like the brown one. It's a custom made leather jacket for the father of the original seller. The zipper is from...
Funny, I think we have a similar searching strategy/routine...Vinted, Kleinanzeigen, Etsy, etc. :D Yes, the brown one looks nice too
I actually asked him if this is an 80's/90's Vanek...no feedback, yet but probably he's right and both jackets are real 50's jackets.
I really like the...
50's German leather jacket in very nice condition - reminds my a bit of the Engelbert Vanek I sold to @Jin431 both from seams and leather point of view. Price is rather high - 450€ taking into account that the maker is unknown, so not a real deal but IMO nice jacket and nice condition...
Thanks. It was second hand but the colour was lighter when I received it as I wore it about 10 times but never in the rain as I wear only LW, Aero, etc. stuff when it's raining (I know I'm really picky). I assume that it will soak water more easily due to its soft nature - not sure about water...
