Have this vintage Vanson Ike on the way, ‘70s per the seller, in what is described as soft steerhide with a somewhat worn collar.
It appeared to have sold a week ago but popped back up again, seems to have short sleeves but hope they work out. Hope there are no odd/undisclosed issues. Really...
I’ve looked on and off again for one of these for a few year. One popped up that looks to be in good condition and reasonably priced so I jumped. I suppose this is my sign to finally move the fringed Kehoe along…
Thanks man!
I think it will be ready within the next few weeks? I put deposit down at end of January and they estimated about 6 months. Aiming for a trimmer fit this time around, going to be a very different jacket from this one.
Bravestar Type III
Doesn’t get as much wear as my leathers but it’s a great jacket. 21.5 oz actually feels like a jacket, lighter weight denim often comes across as a thick shirt to me.
I have no idea!
There were also less apparent patches on the front above the pocket. I’m planning to find some replacements and put em on
The listing didn’t make clear that there had been patches, but I got a good deal and I decided to live with it
The vest length issue is probably an optical illusion from the jacket underneath and where my arms are.
Can measure later but here it is again all buttoned up for clarity. It hits right on my belt.
Feels like a great length/size to wear solo or over other layers.
Got this IH vest in yesterday so tried the jacket + vest combo out
Also does anyone recognize this pin? The only way I can remove it appears to be destroying it
Yes it’s hot. Too hot. Still having fun wearing jackets when I can. We do have air conditioning, and iced beverages of choice. Also I have to say the bamboo in our backyard really helps cool it back there.
