There are many jackets i don't really wear, the Himel is no1 in that club, my Aero bootleggers are worn once or twice a year, i never wear my Schotts, really i usually wear LW or Vanson, to me the other ones are a collection and a way to compare jackets against each other.
I don't feel the need...
I do.
If i had to pic one brand, i would say without a second thought that my favourite brand is LW. (Vanson close secound)
Within all my LW, the one that i reach for most often is my J-23, it has all the things i want and find cool in a leather jacket, and it is the first one i got.
Close...
Man, that's a great price too.
I was getting ready to ask you to BIN for me, but noticed the 18.5" bottom hem!
That dude is seriously V shaped, no way i can zip that thing up unfortunately.
They are both beautiful.
I also give the Vanson an edge, but the Indian is probably the only Aero i would still consider buying new...
Both great jackets!
I went all in, and also won this one, it was even cheaper than the black one:
Same style of label, not sure what to think yet, if they are both real this was a great score, pretty much buy one get one free...
I'll also ask Buyee for pics before i ship it, curious to see what it looks like.
Agreed, i have been googling "fake Vanson", "conterfeit Vanson" etc and cannot find any mention of fakes vansons anywhere online.
If it was a common thing wouldn't we know more about it?
Also, why counterfeit an obscure 90s trucker and not something worth big money like the Supreme jackets?
It...
The plot thickens...
I was looking at pics, comparaing @JMax s Cheyenne and the Buyee one.
Look at the two buttons either side of the front yoke seam, on J's they are evenly spaced above and below the yoke:
Compare to the Buyee one, that are not evenly spaced either side of the yoke...
What is weird is that the seller is also selling a bunch of these Suede ones and the label looks correct in these:

If both jackets where fake why use a correct label on one but not the other?
I sent the pics to Vanson, see what they say.
Buyee holds the item for 30 days so i have time to sort it out.
I also compared these pics to all my Vansons, also spread over three decades (90s, 2000s and 2010s) and none look similar.
I never thought there was a market for fake Vansons...
Yep, i was just comparing to my Vanson labels and noticed the same thing...
The leather also looks very very smooth for a vanson from that era.
Hmmmm, not sure what to do about that...
Sorry, i got my Vanson names mixed up, it was indeed a Cheyenne!
I just got the pics fron Buyee, i scored!
This looks like a NOS jacket if i have ever seen one... Shipped from Japan for 300$ total.
The seller still has many sizes, from 38 to 44.
Yep, shipping is 60$, if it ends up being a real Maverick for 300$ total i am super happy!
The seller supposedly still has sizes 38, 40 and 42 in stock.
I'll update once i get the pictures from buyee.
