    9mm or 45cal

    I would suggest it unwise to form a self-protection philosophy based upon a stated intention to "shoot to kill" if one is forced to fire one's firearm. One intends to shoot until "the threat is stopped:" if the person posing the threat dies as a result of the "stopping," the law generally allows...

    Cockpit USA B-3 Fit

    I think the 38 looks fine, and you could shovel snow in it, if you wanted. These B-3 hoods, do they just fit over a turned-up collar? I'm not familiar with them at all and was not aware of their existence. Sorry for the thread hijack.

    Vanson cafe racer fit for riding

    I have about a dozen Vanson jackets, including two versions of the Model B. As for fit, it doesn't matter one whit whether or not some other guy wants his jacket to only fit over 'this' or to definitely fit over 'that." It's only what you want your jacket to fit over: if you need to wear a...

    Excelled A-2 Jacket

    Me too. Based on your statements I went ahead and ordered a 38 (I wear a 40) and I'm glad I didn't order a 40. While the 38 works well and looks great, I feel a 36 would have fit, too. For those of you considering ordering one of these jackets, you might consider going down up to two sizes if a...

    Photos of cool jackets owned by others (non-brand specific)

    The J-100 was an unlined leather "shirt." I assume it would be much easier to cram inside one's pants than a more conventional "jacket." Or, maybe those guys were just really, really tough... I own a Vanson/ThurstonBros PLU-3 Comet, a cafe racer featuring three additional inches of length, so...

    The Motorcycle Helmet Thread

    It helps a bunch if one has read many of the photo-intensive published books on the era. Heck, at this point I can even spot a photo of "Father Bill."

    The Motorcycle Helmet Thread

    I have some Arai Signet-Q helmets, which I find to be outstanding. Firstly, because of my rather "hatchet head," I always have to get a helmet that is too large, side-to-side, in order to get enough room front-to-back. The Signet-Q model allows me to fit into a size Small, which fits well...

    Vanson Stadium jacket

    Good review! I have two versions of this jacket; the Stadium which you have, and also the Team jacket, which features a knit collar. I find them to be very useful jackets, and the sleeves on both have shortened dramatically since purchase. I'm told that they both look good when worn and are not...

    Vanson Model B - the search for my perfect cafe racer is over

    I never worry anymore about getting my Vanson jackets wet. After a good soaking they are simply hung on one of those giant (about 5-6' wide) plastic hangers sold by Aerostitch for really heavy, heavy jackets, and allowed to dry out. These hangers hold the jacket open quite a bit and allow for a...

    Warm weather jackets

    For springtime weather I will often pull out the Vanson Stadium Jacket. When it gets even warmer, there is a khaki London Fog windbreaker, purchased new when I was about 19 years old and rediscovered by me about four years ago. And it still fits. Whenever I choose to wear it my wife tells me I...
