    WTB: Vanson type A size 40

    This. If I wanted an armored jacket for riding, this is what I would choose (I don't ride). Or, for additonal practicality in warmer weather and a slightly more 'biker' look, I'd get this: https://www.butterscotchlb.com/collections/vanson/products/vanson-drac-perforated-z150-black I'm sure...

    Vanson x Leftfield Commando Jacket Size M, Limited edition # 1 of 20 - 3kg

    Which leather is this exactly? Checking out the Left Field website... it states: So... it's not Vanson's comp weight, it's the X150, correct? I'm 5'11" with a "long" torso and this would probably work for me. I just got a custom Model E in X150 (very similar to this jacket) - I probably...

    WTB Vanson x Left Field Commando Size L

    Oh, I got a two-way zip as well. I also debated the no-belt: but the standard one is completely removable and don't mind the loops without the belt in so I went with that. Your above build sounds great! As for CW vs MW vs X150 vs Z150 vs pebbled/tumbled/etc: I already have CW on my Vanson...

    WTB Vanson x Left Field Commando Size L

    Yeah let me clarify that Vanson will be more than happy to make you a fully custom jacket and an extremely low up-charge (if any) to one of their standard jackets. I you want a Model E without epaulets and no belt and extra body/sleeve length, with X-150/Z-150/Comp leather: they'll do that all...

    WTB Vanson x Left Field Commando Size L

    I live in Long Beach and have visited Butterscotch a few times. Great shop and awesome owner, Tommy. Super nice guy. As much as I love a lot of the clean designs of the Vanson x Butterscotch collabs - I am personally not a fan of any of the pebbled or tumbled leathers. The X150 there was...

    WTB Vanson x Left Field Commando Size L

    Vanson* They will not make a limited edition collaboration jacket like the Vanson x Left Field Commando - as Left Field technically owns the rights to the design. Same thing for any of the Butterscotch collabs. Also - it's the same deal with any interior fabrics. Vanson is quite strong on using...

    Vanson Model B House Cowhide Genuine Leather Cafe Racer Motorcycle Jacket SZ 42

    Haha, I'm an engineer too - some of us have Google'd sarcasm!!!! :) Happy Friday! PS: take this post as hard data that I was being sarcastic about my Model B being crap (meaning undesirable). It is the nicest jacket I've ever owned. Which is the same company, cut, leather, and hardware...

    Oh, I thought this was a forum to, ya know, discuss things.

    Vanson Comet octagon 46

    I don't think that's horsehide... the Octagon leather Vanson produces I've never seen in a horsehide material, rather a waxed steerhide. It also looks to be the said Octagon material.

    Call them and ask to speak with Kim. She is very helpful.

    Aero aged tan Plainsman size 40

    If the potential buyers 'demand' a more precise measurement - try popping into your local bike store. There are a lot of 'weight weenies' in the cycling community, and the scales they use have hooks for a bicycle wheel. I'm sure they wouldn't mind if you'd ask them to chuck your jacket on it...

    Vintage Vanson Model C no longer in production

    If I didn't have a custom E on the way, I'd snatch this off you... I'm also originally from Wisconsin so another free bump for you! :cool:

    wash your jeans?

    What other raw denim have you owned? I guess I've tried quite a bit and something like a double indigo or and indigo (warp) x black (weft) is one that will really bleed. I also don't have a bunch of light colored fabric furniture in my house and my car seats are black leather. A lot of 'denim...
