That is nothing short of amazing. Please post some fit photos!! Man this is an absolute winter fortress and I absolutely love this single breasted shawl design. Well done man. Well friggn done!On it’s way to me now. And I promised myself no more jackets for a year... just couldn’t resist when the style I had been eyeballing for a long time appeared on the sale page.

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

I have a Vanson Daytona coming soon. Having the sleeve stripes and patches deleted, brass hardware, and plaid lining as modifications. Also, I am adding a Model B collar with snap back as the Daytona collar extends on both sides and when worn unzipped or unsnapped the tabs hit together in a way that I found uncomfortable and annoying. Here are fit pics, size is medium which in this jacket is a size 41" chest. I found the reach to be a bit restrictive, but once it breaks in it should be about perfect I hope, I was worried a large would be too big. Sleeves are a bit long unzipped but perfect for riding and will hopefully shrink a bit. It is a slim cut jacket. I love the X150 leather. I have owned Schotts, Brooks, Dainese Ducati jackets, etc., but this is my first Vanson. This will be for riding and some casual wear. Ordered with Carrie from TB, she has been very helpful and patient.

Had it been my size, I would have bought it when it came up on Aero's sales page. I think this one is much better than their regular Blizzard with weird attached vest inside.
Thanks ton! This is exactly the type of enabling I come here for!

Agree! I was actually emailing with Aero on whether they would do the blizzard with another lining a couple of weeks ago, so when this came up in my size I “had to do it”.

ton alone is responsible for many of us buying too many jackets. He should get some commission at least from Aero. Or maybe he is...?
What they answered? Did you get idea if they are willing to do Blizzard without vest and maybe even with different color hide than black?
I wish. I'm about to paint "will work for CXL" on a piece of cardboard and troll the sidewalk in front of Horween.

They were definitely open to doing it with another lining. I didn’t ask about colors, but if they’ve made a version without the waistcoat for their new website, they’ll probably be open to doing it in other colors as well.

My god, your poor wife!First freezing morning today, so I pulled the trigger on this one. It might be too small for me, but fortunately there is a return option.
Why? She doesn't have a special dislike for B3s. At least I don't think so...
Save some $ for the LW half belt that likely won't fit me.
That's a super sharp CR man. Seems Vanson is back in full swing. I'd never really considered that model before but this jacket looks spectacular and your mods seem perfect.
