    Vintage Vanson Model F Clone ?

    Trying to identify a recent vintage pickup missing the brand label. Upon quick glance, it looks like a Vanson Model F. But it has some odd features now that I have it in hand which makes me think it might be a clone. However, I can't think of any makers coming close to this? Dual vertical...

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

    Another vintage one on the way for me. Untagged but Im guessing Fidelity knockoff of a Vanson Model F. Hide looks too thin to be a legit vanson.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    LOL. You called it. Literally was just about to snap the pic and had to get the windex! Who says this jacket hobby / addiction doesn’t have its side benefits

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    This one is a stock size 40. My usual Vanson size across many models. While a 42 always seems more comfortable at first, they break in way to loose baggy on me. Either too long torso or wide in the waist. Learned to suffer through a slightly tight fit when brand new to end up with the perfect...

    Old Vanson Horsehide Pics ? Black Model J in Question

    Thanks. Confirms mine isn’t. Kim at Vanson also ran my serial # and found it was from 2011. Some nice comp weight hides then.

    NOS Vanson Model J. All 10lbs of it! And this is after two days of sitting on it, crunching it up, punching etc.

    PSA: No z150 or x150 leather for a while (Vanson)

    Agree with this 100%. I've handled more than my share of Vansons, and different batches of X / Z etc. Of course any individual batch of Vanson can vary drastically, moreso than any other maker I know. IMO, the X appears "better" when brand new but then kind of dulls out as the hot stuffed wax...

    Old Vanson Horsehide Pics ? Black Model J in Question

    I know there wasn't many of these produced or for a long period of time, but Im hoping some loungers might have a black HH Vanson in their closet. I'm trying to compare with this mystery NOS Model J I just picked up. Doesn't feel anything like any vintage or new vanson Ive come across. It's...

    PSA: No z150 or x150 leather for a while (Vanson)

    Maybe a blessing in disguise. The last batch of my preferred vanson hide, Z150 waxy/shiny, was even a bit out of spec/subpar to the folks at Vanson. It was almost indistinguishable from the comp hide apart from thickness, when it usually has a much glossier appearance. Hopefully a new steady...

    Sold Aero Cafe Racer 42 $500

    What's the bottom hem and mid stomach measure? Trying to judge how much taper this one has. Hopefully too much for me as I really need a black Hhyman and not cr :( !

    Highwayman - Zip Sleeve Highwayman Database

    Why did I click this?! Now I'm getting that tiny voice saying I need a black fqhh Highwayman. Your standard fit 42 is my ideal look / fit preference. Given Im 5'10 160 32"jeans, Im probably a 40. Maybe a standard 40 top / tapered to 38. If you don't mind the ask, what's your usual jean waist...

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

    Thinking I need another Vanson to break in and maybe this would actually make winter arrive in the NE.

    Lounge wisdom has spoken. M422a is off the market and back in my closet. Apologies if anyone was secretly eyeing up this one.

    My Aero M422a

    Appreciate the feedback. Sounds like a resounding take it off the market and back into my closet. This was one of those random out of my comfort zone purchases that I wasn’t sure I’d look good in. And the thick goat hide was looking rather plain/new up until just about recently. Think I was just...

    My Aero M422a

    This has been up in the classifieds with no takers so I’m contemplating giving it a second chance in the rotation. What says the lounge ?

    Black CXL vs Black Vicenza: Showing Their Age

    I own both Vicenza and CXL blacks. My experience has been if you want a jacket that looks "newer" longer and stays basically black, just graining up with character, than go Vicenza. My Blizzard in the classifieds is Vicenza. If you're after the two-tone / tea core kind of look where the black...
