How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

Man I'm debating on trying this one or a Dakota...please post some pics...I'm really curious about the fit too. It's a shorter style vs the longer dakota.

It's a nice jacket, paper thin only weight 5 lbs, it has same grain as old competition weight leather.

DUDE!!! I love that! What size is it?! As far as the weight goes.. the largest size LW produces I have incoming, boxed, is only 6.7 pounds

Normally I don't like such a lightweight jacket, but I would say this one is probably my best fit jacket. The leather is high quality, they simply shave more to make it thinner, the cut, the construction is first class.

I am 6 feet , the back length is 25 inches at size 42

I really want one of these...this jacket looks incredible and is priced really well. As soon as I realize my LW is two sizes too large I'll be moving that and into one of these. I called Vanson and they have a 42" and 44" in stock...not sure which would fit.

Does fit you great and the leather is nice. Looks like one of those Japanese jackets. Ought to look awesome with (serious) wear.

Damn, 6 foot and a 25 inches jacket hits you past the belt?!? You are all legs man. I agree, that jacket fits you great and seems perfect for many different occasions, etc.

Ton-- per vanson's website, the 42 has 5.5 inches of ease and a 24" back length. That will fit but a tad snug in this style. I think this cut is Comet-esque, where I am definitely a 44.

Definitely keep! It looks great and is a perfect jacket for pretty much any occasion or purpose. And it is extremely well-priced. And the leather looks like the CW that you desire so another win for you.

Yes, it's low profile but still has Vanson kind of cool.

It's nice, and it fits my streamliner perfectly, but 5 lbs only? Keep or return?

Only you can answer this one... 5lbs is 2.26kg
This makes it a bit lighter than my Suburban which is ideal for an everyday jacket.
I would say keep it, and keep chasing your heavyweight grail jacket while wearing this one :)

I can fool myself by attach streamliner to make it a heavyweight jacket, my Enfield weights 9.6 lbs with streamliner attached.
