I'm not sure this is a amazing deal, but it's a pretty damn cool vintage Vanson rough out Type 3 for a decent price:

It would be too much to call this a "deal," but this is a great jacket currently on ebay, hard to find HD Traveler. I actually stopped by the seller's house to try it on, and was very impressed with it. Leather is thick and really nice, fully broken in after 70 years! Dave Sheeley relined and refurbished the jacket, and it's just about as cool of a vintage MC jacket that I can imagine. Unfortunately, a bit too small for me. The seller, VInce, is a good guy.

Well I for one will watch it, but I could not ever wear it.
What is still there does not look too bad, good restoration project and with a good cleaning & conditioning this could really be a stunning vintage piece.
I give them an E for Effort - at least this one very important dimension is on there . The back length -

Like you, I've always admired the Traveler. They are seldom see in any size. A great job by Dave.

True. Best to contact the seller though.

FWIW I had a Speigel with a 23” back and it had a 22” chest, so probably a 40.

I agree though, doesn’t look too bad at all as far as being wearable. This is one you get for cheap, clean it up and wear the hell out of.

Cool jacket in a size 40 or so. I know nothing of the maker, so don't fillet me if this is some made in China abomination, but the leather is unique. It's only $145 USD plus shipping from japan.

 

[Biff42]

Okay, I cannot succumb to temptation on this one. Someone snap it up. A size 40 Indian Sugar Cane jacket for about $420 shipped from Japan. The measurements look like a trim 42 as noted in the comments where I asked.

Sweet deal on a new(ish?) Vanson Teton, XXL. Wish it was smaller!
