    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I tried that one on in thicker denim some years ago at Self Edge NY. Fit perfectly, looked awesome, was soooo tempted, but I'd just bought a pair of heavyweight IH denim from them and also a Schott 141 recently that's similar design, so held off. I'm still considering pulling the trigger on that...

    Lets see those Motorcycle Jackets!

    Great! Thanks so much for the detailed reply. Answers my questions, and yes, I’ve been eyeing the butterscotch versions very closely for a bit now. Might have to pull the trigger sometime soon.

    They’re size 42, same size as my PLU3. Here’s a review thread I did about these jackets: https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/v7-the-vanson-x-union-garage-nyc-armored-leather-motorcycle-jacket.91820/

    Lets see those Motorcycle Jackets!

    Great selection of jackets. A question if I may - how much longer is the Vanson Commando vs. let’s say the Vanson Chopper or the Vanson Highwayman. Pics I see of the Commando shows it’s a longer body jacket but I can’t decide whether the body is too long for this style or whether it’s...

    Lets see those Motorcycle Jackets!

    Bang! This right here! Flip flopping between brands and styles of cross zip moto jackets lately, what will it be - Schott 618, LL, Vanson, Langlitz ... if I get a Vanson C2 to fit me like this, I’m happily done!

    Dang bro! Each time I talk myself out of getting a cross-zip moto jacket, I come across your pics and the want/need for these jackets returns big time!

    Lets see those Motorcycle Jackets!

    That’s an awesome jacket. Been wanting a Langlitz for some time now, the padded Timberline being one of the models on my want-very-much list. Also great to see father-son duo wearing the same jacket. Looks awesome on both of you. I’m waiting for my son to be a bit bigger and older so I can start...

    Lets see those Motorcycle Jackets!

    Vanson Chopper bought through Thurston Bros. I’ve had it for a few years, it’s a badass, hardcore moto jacket, and I haven’t done it enough justice, so it still looks new. I like it and intend to wear it a lot more this year.

    Lets see those Motorcycle Jackets!

    Lost Worlds HH Buco Rider. It has accompanied me on several memorable long rides. I haven’t worn it so much lately, but’s it’s a solid hardcore leather moto jacket. Not armored, so if wearing this on long rides, I wear an armored shirt underneath.

    Lets see those Motorcycle Jackets!

    Above two are the UnionGarageNYC X Vanson V7 armored leather motorcycle jacket, in their super nice brown (octagon-ish) and deep black leather. UGNYC took the Vanson AR3 armored jacket and reworked them to this design. Its a great riding jacket with so many neat tweaks and features. The armor...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Today, pulled out the Lost Worlds HH Buco Rider. Been a while since I wore it. I bought it in early 2013 and wore it quite a bit initially, before other jackets took precedence in the rotation. Very comfortable and hard wearing jacket. Edit: pocket bulges due to wallet & stuff in pockets.

    FS - Aero Board Racer (Steerhide)

    Yeah man, if it was size 42, looks like I'd be second-dibs behind ProteinNerd ;)

    Custom Vanson Chopper - Input Needed

    Re: Vanson and armored leather jacket options, besides the armored Comet and Model AR3 etc they offer in their regular lineup, Vanson has also partnered with UnionGarageNYC to produce the very neat V7 jackets, armored CR style jackets available only through UGNYC. I know it’s not a crosszip like...

    Richa Daytona - blue buffalo

    The jacket looks great on you. Congratulations on passing the test and welcome to the wonderful world of motorcycling! I have a Segura (French brand) leather Moto jacket that looks quite similar to this Richa brand, similar blue color too. Need to take proper pics.

    Custom Vanson Chopper - Input Needed

    I wear my Vanson Chopper on my Triumph Tiger as much as on my Bonnie Scrambler. Pics above from earlier this week. I like the brass zipper & buttons on my jacket, seems to go well with the black comp weight leather. Also nobody seems to notice the brass zippers not matching with my bikes, I...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Vanson Chopper’s turn to be taken out for a spin, along with my Triumph Tiger. I haven’t done this jacket enough justice the last several years so it still looks pretty new. I promise to wear it more often this year - hand on my heart! This is the Thurston Bros version with plain black rayon...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Hey man, sorry for the delayed reply. I’ve been busy and not checking here as much. This is the Thurston Bros Vanson Comet PLU jacket. It’s a size 42. I’m usually a 40R in suit size. Just measured my chest with a measuring tape and I’m a little over 40” (104cm) deflated, and a little over 42”...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Been away for a long while, minimal bike riding, minimal leather jacket wearing the past year. Anyway, here we go - earlier today. Thurston Bros / Vanson Comet PLU3 worn with Vanson’s Streamliner jacket inside.
