    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Ah right I forgot, the beaver on the collar isn’t available on the C2. That might make my decision for me. I’ll call Vanson again in the morning to confirm a couple things.

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    I called Vanson this week. Can’t recall the name of the guy I spoke to. Gave him my dimensions and he sized me 44 for a C2, and 42 for an E. I’ve got a Vanson Oxford (9D) in a 42 and it’s a great fit. P2P of 23.5. I like both C2 and E, and could go either way. I think the C2 looks a bit better...

    New jacket: Vanson x Thurston Bros. Gambler

    @ton312 Dumb question I know, but did you move this jacket on? Have you owned a Chopper? If so how did they compare?

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    I'm kicking around a Vanson cross-zip for the bike. I've got a used Branded on the way but I'm a bit concerned the p2p will be a little tight. Regardless, I like the C2. Do you have a C2 or E?

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    The seller hasn’t represented the measurements very well. Took them with the jacket wrinkled up. I bet the p2p is closer to 23...23.5 rather than 22.

    Aero Sheene fan thread!

    Day 5 with my new Sheene and I’m losing the battle. My shoulders hurt, my elbows hurt, and I swear he’s laughing at me. I’m wondering if feeding him an apple will soften him up? My wife calls him Mr Ed.

    It does look similar. I like your double breast pockets... if I went custom I would have included those.

    Lets see those Motorcycle Jackets!

    A fella in Vancouver BC. Original Leather Factory. He’s been around for a long time. Used to have a shop but now works out of his house. He makes this jacket with a standard collar, and with the Nero. His leather is limited but if your ok with 1.2 or 1.3mm cow hide, then he’s good. Edit- I...

    Branded Garment Black/Brass CHP Cross Zip (aka The Beast)

    I called Vanson this morning, gave them my particulars and they’d put me in a 44. I have a Vanson Oxford (9D) in a 42 and it’s pretty snug. They said the C2 will fit tighter across the chest than that hence the size up to 44. And yes the C2 isn’t really generous in arm length.

    Branded Garment Black/Brass CHP Cross Zip (aka The Beast)

    Thanks for answering that personal question! Im a 42 too. I’m kicking around a new Vanson c2, or a used cross zip. Never had one before but I know I’ll like one. I do ride. My shoulders are 19.5 and I’ve got long arms, usually need a 26.5 sleeve min. So a shoulder of 18.5 might leave me shy on...

    I saw this on FB, texted Shawn. It’s premium goat but he said he’s got some thick steer in 1.5-1.6mm coming soon for his TFL friends. Smooth and grainy. Edit, both smooth and grainy

    Branded Garment Black/Brass CHP Cross Zip (aka The Beast)

    Mind me asking your chest size?

    Exactly what I requested of Shawn, a 22mm button in a contrasting lighter colour. No can do he said. Strange.

    Aero Wayfarer battered horsehide size 38.

    man I wish that was a 42! I think I just found my next custom order. That is really, really nice. Double chest pockets is my thing!

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    That’s a nice design, and looks very good on you. Classy! I’m curious, did you supply the buttons? When Shawn was building my jacket last month he was adamant he could only supply a 19mm horn button in black. Given Pakistan is the biggest supplier of horn buttons in the world, I found that...

    Aero jacket - some leather advice please

    A new mid-weight leather Thurston Bros are now offering is Dark Hickory Vancouver. The pic of the sample below illustrates dark hickory on the left, and chestnut Vancouver on the right. I don’t know if they’ve made any jackets yet, but oh man, check that grain out. I’m seriously considering this...

    size 42. It was a snug fit. Bought the jacket a year ago and its finally loosened up. Fits great now. I don't have the snap in liner. If I did, I could easily have sized up to a 44.
