I'm considering dipping my toes into the world of motorcycle jackets and I stumbled upon this Berman's on the cheap. Anybody know the brand and if it might be a good first jacket of this type?
^^ very cool that everything worked out well! looks like they made and delivered the jacket ahead of time too, good job SB team.
beautiful. Is it the SB bootlegger?
Under four weeks from payment to delivery!
the fit seemed a little off at first and i was freaking out a little, but after I cinched-up the side adjusters it is now perfect.
it’s a modified version of their classic biker model that isn’t listed. It’s the same as they made for Standard and Strange, that they call the Crosszip or the Debs Special.
Gotcha. The one with double buckles on each side? Seen some great fits with that one!

Thanks for the feedback, Monitor. Leather seems to have a bit of character. The removed belt is a plus for me since I think they would look a bit too serious on me with it attached. The interior looks nice (Solid black quilted) It's advertised for 50 bucks here in Norway. Sounds about right?Think Brooks cross zip. Light-ish, but very nice jackets. Not very pricey, though so I hope this one really is cheap. Back seems to be cracking and the belt has been cut off. In any case, okay jackets. Made in Korea.

Berman's are made out of thin leather. Like, not lambskin thin but they've used really thin cowhide. It's a sturdy leather, not in any way inferior to Brooks but... Cracking on the back is something I'd worry about. Looks to me like it has cracked all the way through or it's at least getting close. And if that is the case, no deal is good enough. To me personally, at least.
Looks great otherwise and it's got some brilliant character all over, that much is true.
Damn!!!! NICE Terry. Looks mint!This Hercules is coming in from Japan. This is the best of the auction pictures. It is brown. Similar to the recent jacket owned by @ton312, with a different back design.

That’s the one. Actually, I think they call it their Double Rider. I’m going to get some better pics Thursday, but this is it (uncinched):

Regardless of price, just looks like an excellent Vanson! That's the one horse missing from my riding gear stable, is an actual horsehide Vanson. Just need to find a 40 /42
Wow that is a huuuuuge bummer! Remake and wait.....I finally got my first custom jacket from Langlitz Leathers. The quality is really nice and I really like it. But unfortunately there is a sizing issue and the jacket fit too long for me. So I talk to Bennie from Langlitz Leathers and I will ship the jacket back
