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

    The hide almost reminds me of a horween bison HB I had from Simmons Bilt. Eventually it became super soft/grainy as all hell, but man was it heavy. Felt like I was wearing wet towels! Only you can decide if you truly like the style but based on some of your other pics I recall seeing, Im not...

    New Cafe Racer - Aero CR vs Vanson Mohawk

    Well the offer of instant gratification got the better of me, clicked purchase on the stock Aero CR in black fqhh / 2 chest pocket. Really wanted to try one of the easier to wear casual Vansons since my others are all super heavy duty bike gear. Oh well. Fit pics of the Aero pending in a few...

    FS: Vanson Comet, Bates, Schott Black Horse & Denim Perfecto, + Mars

    Lol. That guy. At least I ended up with a much better Vanson HC from you in the end! If only I can get the collar from rubbing my helmet, it would be sweet.

    New Cafe Racer - Aero CR vs Vanson Mohawk

    I'm definitely more V shape broad shoulders, and maybe that explains why Im seeing Board Racers on Aero's sale page with oddly narrow shoulder measurements for a given size 40/42/44. On the positive side, there does appear to be one black Aero CR in stock with 2 pockets only and my almost exact...

    New Cafe Racer - Aero CR vs Vanson Mohawk

    Eh, they look OK and all but when has Greece become a major producer of a quality product? I mean, family owned Diners in NJ for sure! Greek diners breakfast can't be beat, but jackets? As for first choice, if quality / fit / price being equal, I'd always try supporting an American biz.

    New Cafe Racer - Aero CR vs Vanson Mohawk

    That's a hell of a custom Comet for whoever wanted that color scheme!! I would definitely rock that in black/white stripe, no patch. Vanson custom is truly next level vs their in stock models if someone knows exactly what they want to achieve. Be it crazy color combo, if you stick to your guns...

    New Cafe Racer - Aero CR vs Vanson Mohawk

    I own an armored version of the Comet and that is the perfect no nonsense riding jacket. But give the armored version has much roomier cut sleeves, it doesn't really work for double duty. Here's the back panel of Aero's where the shoulder gussets cause the printing / creasing. Wouldn't...

    New Cafe Racer - Aero CR vs Vanson Mohawk

    Yep, it’s the same jacket pattern. Mohawk just doesn’t have the Vanson lettering. Pricing definitely favors Vanson unless I snag one of Aeros in stock CR. Then it’s not too bad of a $ difference

    New Cafe Racer - Aero CR vs Vanson Mohawk

    Considering I have my fair share of Aero's (6) and Vansons (4), this is a tough call. If it was a more complicated half belt or 3/4 length Id go Aero. But there's something about a simple CR jacket that makes me think I should go Vanson. Again, in the softer zirconian leather which grains up...

    New Cafe Racer - Aero CR vs Vanson Mohawk

    So now that my true riding jacket need is covered, I'm looking for a casual wear only Cafe Racer. Simple two pocket chest setup, black leather. Given my excellent recent experience with Vanson making me a custom Chopper, I thoroughly searched their models and found the Mohawk in the softer Z150...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Amen! There's a nice Black/White Brooks CR in my size on the bay but the seller is asking for like $800! I even wrote him a nice note offering a more appropriate price ($150) and this was his response. " I paid 150 for it I am a leather jacket flipper It is in excellent condition " Best offer...

    Lets see those Motorcycle Jackets!

    Back on topic, here’s a 70s “Cycle Rider” ( Schott) I picked up recently.

    Lets see those Motorcycle Jackets!

    Excellent choice! I’m on a 2018 T100 Black edition and preferred the handling / overall package moreso than the T120. Also more of a backroad rider than highway. That’s the only area I find the 900 engine lacking as it just doesn’t have the steam to cruise at 80mph

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Fidelity Moto I snagged from Ton before he was sending it to Goodwill! A little bit of conditioning / color and good to go.

    Custom Vanson Chopper - It has Arrived!

    Yeah Nick. What tony said. Eventhough the Chopper quilting is only body, not arms like quilted HArdcore/Ec, it became too stuffy over 75. And I’m a pretty heat tolerant person so I’d imagine others roasting even more. Its the basic white quilting material underneath with a top nylon fabric...

    Brooks Gold Label Red Racing Shirt 44

    Damn. Just my size and Ive been looking for a Brooks like this. But in black :(. Anyone think a dye job black would soak through fully. Dont want to end up with a black top coat / red patina underside!
