what's the ID number? Should be in one of the pockets or on the wind flap (or the FOB if you still got it). Mine is 50400 something. The ones from 2018 are like 78000. They started numbering around 1984, so figure I'm somewhere on the upper side of the middle there, maybe 1998-2002 range. I sent an email to Vanson, but fun project for me to do some detective work.
check inside pocket, the one without the zipper. should be on the leather lip. It's embossed so easy to miss too.

Here's some close ups of the leather. I'm hopping the grain on the biswing flap is a precursor of what's coming. Because if so, I done good. But in any case, like I said. It's really nice, a gooey, aniline feeling.

gotcha. No worries. I sent email to vanson earlier today. Once they let me know, I'll update you all. Was looking to create a general rule of thumb so we don't have to flood them with emails every time we see one for sale. But it's all good.
Agree! you give up that Cal you have lost your marbles.

Vanson will happily tell you what year the jacket was produced by the serial number.
Anyway, wasn't this jacket sold? And who made it?

The plot thickens. For "shits and giggles" I " bought it now" last night West Australian time. Went thru' 100% normal.
This morning , three emails from ebay/paypal
Your order was cancelled
Hi *****,
The seller cancelled this order because: Buyer asked to cancel the order.
They sent a refund to your original payment method.
So the question is what gives ? Also this from the seller this morning ??
Thank you for buying the item from us.
But I have to apologize to you.

Please forgive me.
Also, if you buy merchandise from me, I will offer you 10% off.

Tomohiro
In summary , the USD $ are gone from my bank account and have not yet reappeared ?
What can the seller hope to gain from this ?
I don't know if the comp weight is aniline. Schott 100 series is aniline and it only takes a few wears to break in. The vanson is known to take years. That's why i was on the hunt for an older one.
I guess these shops are selling through many other platforms like Yahoo Auctions, Buyee.jp, etc. and I suppose he sold the jacket twice and therefore had to inform the second buyer (in this case you) that the item is no longer available. That's just a guess.
