Excellent jackets. They put some surprising good effort into the pattern work on these IMO. Simple designs, but cut properly. I wish I could transform my 42 Sporster into a 40 and have it fit as good as yours. But for now, its my only CR that will fit over a sweater or just be a true 50's...
Think I posted one up in this thread last month but if not I can take another. Picked up a current stock Colorado aka CHP quilted. Actually much prefer this style vs my Chopper. While it is a different tannery / batch etc, it's still heavy duty. More on the lines of riding gear (tool) vs...
2nd attempt at a brown HD CR. First one got returned to seller as they "forgot" to disclose the crazy hack job 23" sleeve alteration and said it was 25 all original etc. This one appears to be much more legit and in great condition. Rayon lining instead of the too warm quilt in my brown...
Lost Worlds IMO. I think the green stripes will blend in a bit after the jacket gets some wear n tear / dirt on those stripes. Maybe some pecards or similar conditioner on just the stripes to darken them up a bit. Also, think the striping would have looked much better if they were a tad...
Cold rainy NJ day, figured it would help the Model J Vanson yield a little but no luck. I need about 1/2” extra on the hip area as this is a fairly slim 40. Good fit up top but slightly tight on the lower half. Might be up for grabs in the classifieds soon. I’m unfortunately probably a perfect...
This one is slightly too big for me so it's up for grabs. Could use some field repair stitching on the knits but it's pretty solid overall. Some small scrapes / nicks etc. No beauty contest winner or Aero level hide but definitely wearable vintage condition for an authentic Vienam era G1. Main...
I'm self imposing a new 1 in 1 out rule on the jacket stash so I'll be listing a few shortly. First up an excellent condition Excelled Cafe Racer w quilted lining. Only issue I see is inside upper armpit lining has separated near seam. Easily repaired if needed but super wearable as is. CONUS...
Sweet. It should handle the vintage de-tox funk remover bath I need to give it the. It’s also as dehydrated as beef jerky but knowing a vanson hide, should plump back up. Have my work cut out for me on this one but it was a bargain score.
any idea when that style YKK main zipp was used...
Some better pics showing the odd inside dual pocket setup for a Vanson and back hang tag. The 42 size label font / color does look vansonish though. Any ideas who/when this was made?
