    F/S - Heavy VANSON “double rider” variant PJ27 SZ-44

    Thx. It’s pretty good fit until I move my arms forward. Then it pulls against the center of the back. I think a 46 would fit better. Checking with VANSON to see how much a 46 would run me.

    F/S - Heavy VANSON “double rider” variant PJ27 SZ-44

    Here you go Treeman! I,m no expert on jacket construction, but I’d guess that, absent an action/biswing back, the chest measurement needs to be larger to accommodate arms-forward movement. Just for reference, I’m 6’ and 215 lbs.

    F/S - Heavy VANSON “double rider” variant PJ27 SZ-44

    I do think that this was intended to be police motors-used. I rode motors for about 6 years, and true "CHP" jackets are much heavier than most civilian market police jackets, which are really only street patrol jackets, and much thinner since road rash and weather isn't as much of an issue...

    F/S - Heavy VANSON “double rider” variant PJ27 SZ-44

    Hi Jon, Weighing the jacket on my old postal (non-digital) scale, it comes in just shy of 7 lbs. Having had numerous Vansons over the years, I do know what you mean about some leather not being up to snuff and sort of pebble-grained. However, as I'm not the original purchaser of this jacket...

    F/S - Heavy VANSON “double rider” variant PJ27 SZ-44

    If you ride, the extra arm length gets taken up when you extend your arms. Plus the zip sleeves keep it above your hand.

    F/S - Heavy VANSON “double rider” variant PJ27 SZ-44

    Thank you! I have never found another one on the web. Vanson does not show it in their lineup anymore.

    F/S - Heavy VANSON “double rider” variant PJ27 SZ-44

    This is a catch and release that hurts to let go, but it’s just a little too tight. This is a special order only item from VANSON. It’s a very close copy of the famous Buco PJ27 in heavy duty steerhide. Very little use, all brass hardware, excellent clean shape. No funky odors or stains...

    That's it, I'm out. The ADS ARE RIDICULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I get that, Hoosier. They annoy me too. I’m hoping that the powers that be change things, but at the end of the day it’s just not a deal breaker for me. That’s all I’m trying to get across. Rather have the ads then no FL.

    That's it, I'm out. The ADS ARE RIDICULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Annoying? Yes. But consider for a moment that SOMEBODY is spending their time and money to create, maintain run our little happy gathering place here at FL. Selling ad space is nearly EVERY website's way of covering their costs so WE, the users, don't get constantly solicited to contribute to...
