    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Exactly my style ;) Supposedly this one was crafted to replicate the Bane characters jacket from Batman. Can't say I recall seeing it or the movie in full detail but I really dig the military look of this jacket. And useful pockets!

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    After hemming and hawing about the Vanson / Iron Resin Mohave jacket, not getting any measurements from the seller, I passed. Spotted this slightly more unique Vanson collaboration and pulled the trigger finally! Fully lined with two drop pockets like my Comet and also accepts armor. Though I...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Good choice! I was eyeing this style vanson a while back but backed out for fear of it weighing 15lbs or something ! Curious to see fit pics and how this actually wears

    Thoughts on my new Eastman Rough Wear B3 jacket

    I had the same initial response feeling when I received my Eastman B6. It's their normal topcoat finish / nothing wrong with it. They just use a really heavy finish to protect the sheepskin. Im not sure how much leather conditioner would actually soak through at this point. Just wear it / break...

    Another Cafe Thread: help me make a decision!

    Recommend direct from Vanson while they still have the 15% promo going. Assuming the item is in stock. Ive had no problems returning jackets that didn't fit or I didn't like for another. Order two styles and send one back

    Another Cafe Thread: help me make a decision!

    Just posted an armored comet pic in the what are you wearing thread, mine was a 40 (suggest 38 for you). I was in your dilemma a while back. Wanted a "do it all" jacket for on the bike and casual. However, I came to realization that I didn't want to compromise my on bike safety for style or an...

    Back from a ride in the Vanson Armored Comet 40. Probably the best true bike jacket / riding gear / quality leather and at a great price point too. Love the dual inside zip close drop pockets too.

    FS: Cafe Racer 42/40 Excelled

    Cowhide. Not horse. Quilted lining is perfect for when its slightly too chilly for a thin cr.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Many thanks! Of course Medium is sold out in Black now. Though this looks like one of those trimmer vanson mediums I never can squeeze into properly being a 42 chest , aka Chopper. I’m on the fence about buying the Large. I need a 22.5/23 pit. What does the lounge say....?

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Many thanks! I would have never previously thought about the wax/oil transfer but there was one RRL jacket I saw in person a few years back that was extremely oily. Any idea on Pit to pit / shoulder for the size Med or Large?

    Any signs that the oil cloth wax treatment in the fabric will leach through the unlined front? If you could try a test with a brown paper bag that would be a huge help. Maybe I’ll pick one of these up if any mediums remain.

    Aero HWM 38” $385 shipped!

    Good deal indeed for whoever grabbed it! I'm still waiting for a Black 38 Highwayman to pop up used with decent length sleeves! Tony- just my opinion after seeing photos of a highwayman with belts moved up high. I'd strongly think long and hard about whether or not you really want that look. It...

    New style from Aero: Wilderness

    Not sure I’d go as far as hot mess but I agree it looks like an odd mixture of styles IMO, it almost looks like a woman’s jacket based in deco and shape. Kind of similar to that Aero alpine women’s jacket. But at least it’s another flavor choice, like baskin Robbins ice cream!

    Nice! Guessing a 42 tag size? You fill yours out better than me and my 42 but the upper sleeves on this pattern are crazy wide. I mean only the Rock could probably achieve a true bike fit in these. I can actually fit a thick winter sweater under mine.

    Indeed it is. Schott 125 circa 1978-80. Based on the “v circle” pullers.

    Gold Label Brooks CR today. Nice easy wearer but I still prefer my brown AMF Harley version. Chest pockets on the Brooks always nudge me as being slightly too low. That being said, any Brooks owners want to trade a Black CR for this Brown??

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Probably one of the last summer like days in NJ so a last wear of the amazing armored Vanson Drac aka Full Throttle. The perforated hide and vents work like a charm in 75+ weather, but it gets a little chilly below that for my liking with just a T. Then I pull out the classic armored Comet.

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Also tempted by this one, but what do you guys think of the unlined front? Given the oil cloth fabric, Im thinking wax residue might bleed through to whatever shirt you're wearing.
