    V7 - The Vanson X Union Garage NYC Armored Leather Motorcycle Jacket

    Some recent pics of me & my oxbloodV7 jacket. Pics from yesterday, ride with my MC club to Punakha, the old winter capital of the Kingdom of Bhutan, Eastern Himalayas. BTW, Union Garage recently announced the availability of the Oxblood jackets, and they're already down to two sizes - jump on...

    Fedora Lounge Motorcyclists: Safe Gear with a Vintage Vibe

    Good call. I regularly wear that or the North Face thermoball primaloft jacket under my riding jacket during colder weather. Works really well.

    V7 - The Vanson X Union Garage NYC Armored Leather Motorcycle Jacket

    WOW! Killer jacket! First Berserker I've seen in Octagon - or the dark octagon version - looks awesome.

    Thedi '17/'18 collection

    These are so awesome, thanks for sharing Guppy! You're right, Thedi does push the limit with their jackets, and in the right direction too. Yes, I might not like all the designs, probably would not be able to carry off all the ones I like too, but damn if these aren't some neat proper designs...

    V7 - The Vanson X Union Garage NYC Armored Leather Motorcycle Jacket

    Thanks for appreciating my review guys! Yes, this oxblood color is really something else. Even at the store there was an extra buzz about this particular color. Vanson would do well to continue offering this hide I feel. And Edward, thinking alike - I too feel Vanson should extend their amor...

    V7 - The Vanson X Union Garage NYC Armored Leather Motorcycle Jacket

    Yes, thats the Biltwell Lane Splitter. I've been wearing Biltwell for some time now and they fit me really well - the open-face Bonanza, the Gringo, and now this Lane Splitter. I've been wanting a Simpson for a while now, especially the M30. Tried them on last year, loved how they looked on me...

    V7 - The Vanson X Union Garage NYC Armored Leather Motorcycle Jacket

    Thanks for the kind words, gentlemen! Yes, after following its development for some years, this jacket did turn out as good as expected/hoped for ... maybe more! Yes, the oxblood color IS very rich and close to the Cordovan CXL from the top brands that I've seen. And yes, even the black looks a...

    V7 - The Vanson X Union Garage NYC Armored Leather Motorcycle Jacket

    Thank you! Had to get both colours as I live overseas now and its a lot more effort and expense to order one down the road. Decided to take the plunge now, even though this blows my jacket budget off the chart! LOL I weigh around 180 lbs and wear a size 40R in suit size usually. Hope this helps.

    V7 - The Vanson X Union Garage NYC Armored Leather Motorcycle Jacket

    Some quick mirror pics of me in my oxblood V7 at the Union Garage NYC store. Pics came out dark, doesn't do justice to the awesomeness of the jacket color.

    V7 - The Vanson X Union Garage NYC Armored Leather Motorcycle Jacket

    PICS: below pics are of my oxblood V7 prototype jacket (only difference with the production model is the collar band). I'll take more pics of this and the black jacket and share here in due course of time: More pics to follow below ...

    V7 - The Vanson X Union Garage NYC Armored Leather Motorcycle Jacket

    Continued: The cost of the jacket is $950, which is more than an off-the-rack Vanson Model B, for example ($700 or so). For the extra features on the V7, I think this is a decent price. Besides, other niche collaboration jackets with Vanson also typically cost an extra few hundred dollars - ex...

    V7 - The Vanson X Union Garage NYC Armored Leather Motorcycle Jacket

    Continued: The zippers are brass and typically Vanson sturdy. I think the size and the color looks good with both the jacket color options, I particularly like this brass zipper with the black jacket. Two slant hand warmer pockets with zippers zipping down (not up). Single chest pocket is...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I've been back visiting the US these past few days. In NYC right now, had my old BMW sorted out after a long time in storage, got to take it out for a proper spin earlier today. Sporting my very new V7 armored leather moto jacket. It's a collaboration between Vanson and my buddies at Union...
