Other than Thedi and maybe Field Leathers to some extent, most of the jacket sites have horrible websites demonstrating the jacket being worn and fitted properly. A few do a better job of shooting the jacket on the floor or hanger (i.e. Thurston Bros and some of the Japanese styles). But most...
this looks real nice. Not sure it'll get bid up much. It's the z150 model.
Vanson Royale (Enfield) Leather Jacket Size 40 MSRP $749 | eBay
After all that Vanson talk yesterday, I gave my 2000 older one a good wash yesterday and it really transformed. I always thought it was kind of...
that's a nice looking one. Nice shade of brown too. Kind of reminds me of the last one I bought (mine was black teacore), but this one looks in better shape overall on the shell. I had a lot of problems with my stitches though as they pretty much rotted after 60 or 70 years of whatever was...
Besides all the options from a style perspective, which you seem to have a good grasp on. FIT FIT FIT I know it's important on every jacket, but imo cross zip fit is #1. Can you rock open and closed? Needs a good taper. Shoulders, you want them drooping off or high and tight? Length...
that's how my closet got full. Got a handful of jackets that were just too damn good of a deal to let go. Just need to move to the Artic now so I can get full use out of all of them.
My C2 which is hella old. Post white label but pre ID numbers, so I'm guessing early 80s. I love that thing. When it arrived from Japan I was like oh snap, it's going to be too small. But then, when I put it on, it just transformed, Wrapped around my body, sucks everything in. Feels like...
yeah, I was noticing that I could fit in a lot of 42s and I'm mostly a 38/40 on the Aeros. There's 2 Type 3s that on paper shouldn't fit, but man it's close and it's tempting. And I wanted to get one of the shearling vests but those are only 10% off and the sizing a bit weird (super short like...
Picked up an old, beat up Schott suede trucker with sherpa lining. Very similar to the levis one @Marc mndt posted few days ago. I'll do some proper before and after as it needs lots of love. Was only $30, well prob $80 all in with shipping.
Believe it or not, rocking a B3 last night in Los Angeles in almost May. Definitely last chance for that. 50/60 next few days, then 90s early next week.
ah yeah, that's good. I think Vanson charges $100 or $150 for a pattern change if I'm not mistaken. A few people on here have had good experience with that. Hopefully they chime in. Not sure what the wait times are at Vanson these days though.
sign #1 you may have too many jackets ;);););) Although I'm at the point where I had to create a spreadsheet to make sure I was rotating them in enough to get some wears, so who am I to talk?
I think I was an A but somehow got lucky in that the collection as it grew is more of a C. I do have some redundancy, mostly with the Cals, but even those have some variables (gussets vs no gussets, teacore vs dyed through, etc.) or with the cross zips, but again, some variables (brass vs...
not to rub it in, 85 out by me today. Pretty soon time for leather jacket and boxer shorts weather. I will get my wears in ;):cool:. Everyone may want to click over my WJAYWT posts for the next few months LOL But I promise not to wear any of the short styles :eek::eek:
