I'm not too fond of either. For a Irvin at a good price I'd go with What Price Glory.

Vanson Model E, I'm not sure why it's the best biker jacket I've ever had, is it the fit, the weight of the leather... somehow it all adds up to make it the best.
Cheers, I’d need a 42, or maybe a 44, this seems to be my Vanson size. I already have an Enfield in the old comp weight. Someday I’ll have the horse version. A kids gotta dream!
