For those interested in the Horween Vermont Horsehide I took a few pics of it in light morning sun. I also wore both a wool sweater and my 24 oz wool Filson vest to fill in the big boy. Just makes me more excited for the trimmer 2.0.
The hide is very soft temper, with a sheen in direct light...
Thanks man! I know I aired concerns here but my overall response is “woah that’s cool!”
I did email Damon about the fit and the funny front panel just because I wouldn’t want to say something negative without also bringing it to him. Honestly the bigger-than-expected fit is more of a concern...
Thanks. Yeah it’s my jacket so the plan is 100% wear the hell out of it. Gonna see how it settles in then go from there.
Yeah it’s interesting with that panel. I wonder also if they just handled that area more getting the snap placement, zips, collar work, etc done. The more I think about it...
Just in JL “Cascade” in Dark Brown Horween Vermont. Just out of the box. Gonna have to turn the AC down tonight and give it some time. Feels a little big, but I’m also getting bigger. All in all the JL crew really executed beautifully. The leather is very soft and pliable right out of the box...
@Jin431 Thanks man. You’re a tough act to follow lol. Happy with my choices though
@TooManyHatsOnlyOneHead thanks! Now just to wait for the fit…looks big on the stand but hope it’ll be just right on
Dude. I remember how excited you were when expecting the jacket (1 part of a 2 part high-end entry to jackets if I recall). Sorry to hear it’s not working out
@Jin431 duuuuuude seeing that JL in Vermont is 1) an eye-opening BEAUTY and 2) getting me pumped up for my JL “Cascade”
Design on your cyclist jacket is very neat. Love the bottom snap work.
Price better on TFL, but here is eBay link for those who prefer:

Yeah you’re probably right about the back, I had the same thought.
Aside from fit, the second reason I’m selling is that I realized what I really want is something more like a LW Suburban or one of the Highwayman models.
Will see what develops here
Catch and release on this great Vanson.
Really cool slim design with collar from Vanson. Big main zip with wind flap under, zip sleeves, snaps under the collar, very nice action back, buckles at waist, throat latch, and underarm gussets. Black rayon lining.
Leather is their z150 which is...
