    Custom ANJ4 makers

    Lost Worlds, Aero. I don't think Eastman would do customizations like you're looking for, but they make a good ANJ4.

    FS: FQHH Aero Highwayman size 50

    It's not his size.

    Why Should I Buy A Vanson?

    Yes, it would have originally had a throat latch, which is what attached to the buttons. You could get a new one made if desired, but I wouldn't bother. It's going to be the old comp weight, and looks to be in great condition. Nice score.

    Why Should I Buy A Vanson?

    I wouldn't say other makers are doing something wrong. Vanson has great patterns that fit motorcycle riders especially. It's their specialty and what they are great at. They also have history of using excellent quality and weight leather for this application. They are extremely reasonably priced...

    If you want heavier, go with CXL Steer. They have it in heavier weight.

    FS: Walter Dyer or Natal cafe racer leather jacket, Size 44

    It looks like the size tag was relocated from inside the collar to inside the pocket for some reason I'm unable to fathom. These jackets do run snug, and in my experience with the 5 or 6 that I've handled personally, they don't get that much bigger as the tagged size goes higher. I had a 40...

    FS: Walter Dyer or Natal cafe racer leather jacket, Size 44

    How much does it weigh? How can you bear to part with it? My guess is it's Natal, and a 42.

    Sears Vertical Zip Map Pocket motorycle jacket

    Patches on the wrists is something I haven't really seen before... interesting choice to place them there. I guess they'd compliment knuckle tattoos.

    It looks like a raincoat, is that what you're going for? Definitely too big, in any case.

    50s Leather Quality; Rants & Raves

    I've handled some true vintage jackets but I don't know enough to distinguish by decade for certain between a 40s,50s,or 60s jacket. I have a hard time wearing anything that old, because I'm conscientious about wanting to preserve something that old, and materials become delicate with age. For...

    I like short sleeves and I cannot lie...

    Motorcycle styles generally have longer sleeves, to cover the wearer's entire arm, when they are outstretched in the riding position. Sleeves develop wrinkles with wear, and this corrugation will shorten the sleeve somewhat, and in some cases this can be significant. With thicker, stiffer...

    Langlitz Comstock

    Langlitz does a lot of customization with all of their designs, I'm pretty sure most of them have the option to go with a cossack collar or a dress collar. It seems this design is no exception.

    Langlitz Comstock

    Langlitz just posted this jacket on their facebook page. It looks familiar, the RMC J-31, or Freewheelers Centinella, Lost Worlds has one, and a host of Chinese knockoff brands do the basic design as well. And this one has a Crown zipper. Langlitz say that they don't have all of their designs...

    Vanson C2 Fit

    Looks like a great fit. I take it you went with the 42?

    Vanson C2 Fit

    Vanson C2 Fit

    I think at 106cm chest and 85 kg, it might be a good, snug fit. I'm 106-7cm 80 kg, and my C2 is a 42, and fits perfectly.

    Why Should I Buy A Vanson?

    It looks like applying a baby to your jacket might be one of the roughest treatments you can give it.
