    Why Should I Buy A Vanson?

    Ooh, that is nice. Welcome. I'm also in Los Angeles. Finally getting some nice jacket weather in the morning at least. If you like that one and want another Vanson, lmk, I'm selling my 1980s C2. That older comp weight leather is really nice. Good mix of tough, soft, thick, pliable, grainy.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    for my two cents, I like this pattern more than the one from yesterday or day before. It's damn perfect. I like it so much, I'm having deep thoughts about buying one LOL i.e. like the one on the classifieds now. I can't justify though because I have a FL Route 66 which is almost the same, so...

    when you say business trip, I picture the kind where you get a secret coded message, carry a brief case, and have to do some "cleaning" :eek:

    Cross-zip Jacket back fit - wrong, right and indifferent

    Randy, I think they all in an acceptable range of "good fits". Man we getting really picky analyzing back shots LOL, but I get it, that's why we're here. The Ranger, yeah I agree is on that edge of too big. That's CXL though, right? Maybe once it breaks in some, it'll at least lay flatter...

    Schott 118. My bury me in it jacket :D Over the summer I gave it a wash and dryer treatment aka "The Shrinki" method. I'm in between sizes on most Schotts and it was ok before, but a little loose here and there. It shrunk down about a half size and gave more of a fitted look, but there's...

    Schott 618HH size 42 for sale

    it's for attaching a shearling/mutton collar. Snaps on there and then back side of the jacket.

    Thoughts on Schott quality?

    I love Schott. Amazing customer service and I think their jackets are great. The fit can be all over the place, but every time I go to their store, I need to leave my wallet at home, otherwise I'd get into trouble LOL. Good luck. I think you'll find the Small to be a better fit. I think the...

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

    count me in as well. They posted an olive green one the other day that had me pretty close to pulling the trigger. If I didn't have that LL Lightning in british racing green coming soon, I think I would have gone all in. Their truckers certainly look worthy. Even if they're at Gap or Levis...

    Thoughts on Schott quality?

    are you dealing with Jerri? I've always found her (I think it's a her, not sure though) to be pretty reasonable if you ask nicely.

    Thoughts on Schott quality?

    Is there a way for you to try on and then return whichever you like less? Or did you take off tags? Lambskin is stretchy for sure. Within reason. So being tight will create more form fitting. A size up will just hang similar but not so clingy.

    It's lambskin right? So that will give you some buffer

    1950s White Trojan night rider back from Dena

    Awesome! This was the jacket you pretty much got for free, right? Because Buyee didn't accept the return package? I just busted the zipper on my Thedi half belt. I knew it was coming. Was a Riri zip (which are supposed to be super tough), but it was kind of at the wrong angle, so you really...

    Thoughts on Schott quality?

    you right there on the edge of too tight. I have same issue with most Schotts. Med will fit me like this and large are too big. Ask Schott for a size chart. It might not be too big of a jump going to next size up. Sometimes there's little adjustments, sometimes there's big ones. Not sure...

    Ask a Question, Get An Answer About Outerwear

    That's a perfect fit. Get one a size bigger in different color if you want or maybe a different brand that might have differences (hardware, leather type, etc.)

    Vintage Vanson C2 - size 40-42ish

    Yeah, it's a really nice fit. It feels like it wraps around you. It's definitely snug for me, T-shirt only kind of thing. And if the leather wasn't so broken in, or if this was CXL, I don't think I could wear at all LOL. So someone 10-15 lbs less would be more an "appropriate" fit I think...

    Vintage Vanson C2 - size 40-42ish

    weekend bump. Price cut to $300 PPFF Conus shipping included. Think this is the last jacket I'm selling and just going to enjoy what I got now :D Fantastic cross zip, much more fitted than the usual Schott Perfecto, but super comfortable. Vanson got the patterns really figured out. It feels...

    Gorgeous. Keeping tabs on all these padded cross zips. Going to cook something up with FL down the road.

    Vintage leather motorbike coat in need of repair

    I think I've shared this story before but here goes again. The current Cal Leathers owner (Gwen) set up shop in the back of her dad's upholstery shop about 20 years ago. It's basically like a little kiosque inside the bigger upholstery warehouse. I purchased a 1950s Cal several months back...

    Vegecow Lewis Leathers quality

    Was hoping to get an update today about the jacket build being finished because it's pretty much the same timeframe others have mentioned. But alas. I think with time zone difference, London is done for the day. Maybe next week. It's all good though. The little extra time allowed me to sell...
