I purchased this new (old stock).
I contacted the Vanson factory when I received it, inquiring about its age - Kim replied:
"That raider was built in 1997.
The history lists BLK as the color, which is our comp weight cowhide.
But the tanner for that jacket is no longer in business.
We worked with them for 35 years. They were the best."
Softer and more supple than my 1999 (year) Enfield.
Size 42, but fits larger - at least a size larger than my size 42 Enfield, so subsequently, I have never worn it.
I gave it to my (larger than me) son, but it isn’t his style, so am offering it for sale, hopeful it will find its forever owner.
Pretty much as new - some tarnishing to the main zipper pull, otherwise unmarked inside and out.
Has yet to develop any noticeable creasing.
pit to pit: 24”
sleeve length 26”
bottom sweep 21”
I am in New Zealand, so recognise freight may not be cheap, depending on destination, so have tried to be realistic with price:
$300.00 plus freight
Payment through PayPal.
If anyone has a similar quality size 38 or 40 Raid to trade please get in touch.
