    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    this one is really tempting. I think it's a tad small for me. Contemplating since it's lamb how stretchy it'll be. Seems to be some sub brand of Y2, but for whatever reason, no one is following it or bidding it up and price is sub $200 right now with 24 hours to go. All their other jackets...

    Giving this Schott Dpocket some wears. Probably could have squeezed into a medium but not sure there's a lot of this model out there. So keeping for now.

    Why Should I Buy A Vanson?

    I'm there too. There's more and more jackets sitting on classifieds at what I thought were crazy good prices. Thedis almost half off from new price and don't get action. Either our buying pool over here has reached max or maybe as we're shifting gears to warmer weather or overall economy or...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Same crazy weather here. Upper 50s today, might hit 100 on Thrs. It is the last hurrah. Had B3 on last night. Getting the Field Leathers some wear now. Really has transformed past week or so after about 100 hours of wear. Softened up, grain popping, sleeve creases. No teacore though. Think...

    97' Schott Perfecto.. How to remove smell?

    1st hang in sun for few days. Turn inside out from time to time. No good, next spray with mixture of water/vinegar. I use 75/25. Hang in sun few days turning inside out too. Still no good. Bucket wash with sensitive laundry detergent. Let sit couple hours, swoosh around, rinse thoroughly...

    Why Should I Buy A Vanson?

    yeah it reminds me of the Schott Per3 I just got, which I'm pretty sure is the 600 series steerhide leather (641, 618, etc.). Very top coat/painted heavy with pattern like grain. BUT, I can tell it's super soft underneath and with a good couple years of wear is going to really pop and come to...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    awesome. what's the back length on that? Always looking to buy a vest, but never sure what the length should be. I'm guessing at 6'0 I need a 24 inch to just cover the belt with no front drop.

    Why Should I Buy A Vanson?

    I think you said it was custom for TB, so that throws out the sequential. I think the newer models are in the 80k range, but that's for their usual off the rack. 50k is 2000, I know because my Enfield is that and they confirmed Oct. 2000 build, and about 20-25k is 1990 more or less. Custom...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    @Monitor I'll help you out if you want. But like Moontanning mentioned, probably not the most economic or time efficient way to send to US to send back to Europe. Currency conversion bank charges, etc. But if you're desperate and willing (my moto for a lot of things btw), let me know.

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

    scored this for $78 all in. Has a glaring red marker stain, so we'll see. Going to hit it with an eraser as step 1, wire brush step 2, shampoo step 3, and dye a darker brown as last resort. The crap I'm doing during covid to pass time.

    I'll add @abone2010 wow wow wow. They shouldn't have done a center back seam though on something premium like this. Maybe it would have messed up the pattern though.

    FS: Vanson + ButterScotch + LeftField "Aloha Commando" Size Small

    cha ching. Excellent jacket and really fair price. I had the pleasure to see in person yesterday. Was a tad small for me. Gorgeous piece really that will evolve into something special. And @mjunderw00d is a stand up guy. Buy with confidence whoever the lucky winner is.

    FS: Vanson Enfield 40

    Taking this one off the market. After all that Vanson talk yesterday, went and pulled this out. Was bored, so I gave it a wash and it really came to life. Was almost like it needed a glass of water. When I first got it, it was already on the edge of being tight so I didn't do my usual wash...

    I've had great success matching male pin ykk to talon #10. Cal Leather shop has done it for me two or three times. A Cal Chp from ray 80s and that Vanson C2 I posted yesterday. They also matched to my Enfield although that wasnt Talon. But in the end they decided zipper was fine for now and...
