^Looks just like a model E
The seller hasn’t represented the measurements very well.
Keeps you cooler. Vanson specializes in riding jackets. They have an entire racer line. Like for professionals. It started there a long time ago and then started use in some of their regular lines. Airflow and heat control.Can someone explain why perforated leather exists? Seems like a lot of vansons that way

Took them with the jacket wrinkled up. I bet the p2p is closer to 23...23.5 rather than 22.
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?Ive owned a Bates Highwayman in 42 and it was 22” across. I’ve found that Bates run smaller, unlike rivals like Vanson.

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 currently have an E with 10 Talon zip and the huge, beautiful rivets holding down the belt loops. Labeled 44, 23.5/24” P2P. I’ve had a couple others, even older and then more recent.
My Bates 42 Highwayman was 22” but it felt tight. I have some other Vanson sized 42 with similar P2P as the Bates, but they feel great. More ease. My custom Chopper is a 43, my Vanson sweet spot.
Im always looking for a Bates Highwayman in a size 44 at a reasonable price. When I find one the seller is waaay too ambitious with his asking price. The leather Bates uses definitely makes it worth owning both Highwayman. Bit cleaner with the back design too (shoulder gusset v AB), yoke and all.
