Extremely rare quilted Vanson C2 - Size 36

[TartuWolf]

Hey folks!

I acquired this gem recently, but my Vanson model E just fits me better so this one has to go.
Initial asking price : 800eu excluding shipping. Let's see how this goes and how low will I have to drop it until someone shows interest

One of a kind (I haven't been able to find any sign of one on the internet) or at least extremely rare Vanson C2.
Definitely a collectors piece if not anything else. If you're collecting TANKS that is!

Unique features : Quilting on the upper back, shoulders and elbows.

Size 36.

Measurements:
Shoulder width : 43cm / 17"
Pit-to-pit / chest width : 52cm / 20.5"
Back length : 59cm / 23.25"
Sleeve length : 65cm / 25.5"

For reference I'm ~172cm / 5'8" and ~60kg / 132 lb

Condition: Near new, almost no signs of wear, even on the sleeves, bottom hem or zipper insert pin.

Other comments:
- Zipper insert pin and female side made of brass/metal, not the typical plastic that Vanson puts on most of their jackets for some reason.
- One inside pocket on the wearers right.
- Extremely functional shoulder gussets.
- All zippers work fine.
- Black leather pulls on all zippers.
- Black quilted lining.
- Thick competition weight leather with some very nice grain here and there and a very nice shine to it.

Location: Estonia (EU)

PM me if you're interested!
This should remain on TFL not go to some random guy on Ebay/Vinted

Is there a serial number inside the internal pocket? We might be able to estimate age!

Does that say anything to you?
I'd wager that it ain't very old, at least based on the condition.

We can set boundary a condition.... @Viking752 's is 5-something and 2017 I think. So yours is slightly earlier, maybe 2015? The buyer can contact Vanson for exact age!

You can email vanson@vansonleathers.com and they'll tell you the month and year it was made.

Good idea - I'll send them an email.

My memory totally ain't what is used to be.

Looks like a Chopper/C2 custom jacket. Perhaps one of a kind built to order. Not a production model.

Yup, hopefully the rareness justifies the higher price. I mean 400-500 for a regular C2 in this condition in EU seems fair already.

 

[Will Zach]

I think the price is right to start.

Got info from Vanson that it was made in 1999! So it's more than 25 years old. In near mint condition. Crazy. Kind of explains the epic CW though.

I have an original Vanson belt for this size C2 if the seller or a future buyer are interested.

Very nice Vanson! Something I would personally spec. Not my size though.
