    Vanson Model E - 46 /XL early 80's

    Yep -= 100% agree. Ask me about my collection (of 2) Down filled parkas. Haven't used either rf them in ~ 3 years except one week in December alst year when it got to -15F the week prior to Christmas with 40 mph winds. At that point one of them was broken out and came in really handy. Only...

    Altering waist in 4 oz HH jacket?

    It makes a lot more sense to me now! I appreciate Marc bringing this to light as he did! Hope you can do his suggested repair. I can also see the frustration. To me the 25% upcharge for "short or long" and then having this issue (if I were the first owner) would be pretty disturbing. Those...

    Altering waist in 4 oz HH jacket?

    ^^ This does not look too bad to me, like you say maybe just the loop itself, but start messing with the hem of that J24 and you may be asking for more problems that you want to deal with. Guess I'm a little confused - were the original alterations done by Stuart, and did you ask for this work...

    Vanson Model E - 46 /XL early 80's

    ^^ It's less "large" to me now, as I have a Langlitz or two that are similar in size. Sweatshirts fit under this no issue. Having the belt back allows me to snug it down and I could certainly tighten up the side laces. On edit - I just tightened up those side laces and it transformed the fit...

    VansonRider - your timing literally could not be better! I had just taken new photos this mornign intending to "bump" this back up. It has a new Vanson-branded solid brass buckle on the belt, and is all ready to go. Still just asking $375 with shipping CONUS - PayPal New photos...showing...

    Should I get rid of the following jackets?

    You're wearing a hoodie under it. I personally think it's fine that way, but with a t-shirt or button up shirt it'll be a little large. Not that I care that much personally. I have 2 recent acquisitions that are larger than they should be for the "ideal FL fit" but I am not an ideal shape...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    This button up style looks very sharp on you Tony! Great mix/in between half-belt & peacoat, a winner :)

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Took a minute to enjoy an Ironic shot here, it's only about 89F (31C) headed to 99F (37C) today. So the Padded Columbia and the wool hat will not be staying on. Jacket will be wonderful in a few months with a couple layers underneath.

    Five Stars Leathers: remake of a 30's "Aviator's" style Jacket

    Sure looks like a great sucess! Hope it fits you as well as it looks, love the deep seal brown leather in the recreation jacket, with fine attention to detail, as is quite obvious.

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Someone got a deal on this one! Was it anyone here? Probably could be re-lined by Dena, and some Urad on the leather would clean it right up.

    Aero Jacket Sizing Help

    Honestly, I think you are over-thinking this process. First, go somewhere where you can try on several styles and models of jackets. If in Europe, you could go to Aero directly. If in the US, try a Schott store, Vanson, Johnson's, Langlitz, even Fox Creek. Go and see what works for you...
