Dang bro! Each time I talk myself out of getting a cross-zip moto jacket, I come across your pics and the want/need for these jackets returns big time!

Bang! This right here! Flip flopping between brands and styles of cross zip moto jackets lately, what will it be - Schott 618, LL, Vanson, Langlitz ... if I get a Vanson C2 to fit me like this, I’m happily done!

Above two are the UnionGarageNYC X Vanson V7 armored leather motorcycle jacket, in their super nice brown (octagon-ish) and deep black leather. UGNYC took the Vanson AR3 armored jacket and reworked them to this design. Its a great riding jacket with so many neat tweaks and features. The armor used is the softer and more easily malleable yellow D3O pads, instead of those thick, big black hockey-style pads that Vanson usually uses on their armored jackets. I reviewed this jacket in a separate thread around a year or more ago.

I forgot about your Vanson jackets. Outstanding fit and look.

That’s an awesome jacket. Been wanting a Langlitz for some time now, the padded Timberline being one of the models on my want-very-much list. Also great to see father-son duo wearing the same jacket. Looks awesome on both of you. I’m waiting for my son to be a bit bigger and older so I can start sharing my leather jackets with him. He’s 7 right now, lol! Last year I bought an older Schott Perfecto in this nice brown leather, sadly its a bit small for me. But I’m holding it for when one my kids are old enough to wear it.

You will not be disappointed with a padded Timberline. Langlitz is a perfect option for padded shoulders and elbows.
I did request additional filling in the padding. No regrets but makes the break in process a little more challenging for the elbows. I already told my son, when I am gone from this planet all the jackets are yours. He has a Lost Worlds Roadhouse all his own to hold him over until then. They grow up FAST!

Vanson Chopper bought through Thurston Bros. I’ve had it for a few years, it’s a badass, hardcore moto jacket, and I haven’t done it enough justice, so it still looks new. I like it and intend to wear it a lot more this year.

Looks awesome.

Two cheapos I wear whenever I should be wearing any of my nice jackets and thus preventing them from gaining character.

What brand?

 

[Monitor]

No clue about the first one, the brand has faded away but it says it's made in the UK. Second one is something called Winterland. Nothing noteworthy.

These are all too perfect but the Bates and the cordo Vanson rule above all.

 

[JMax]

Much appreciated. I see lots of folks here focused on the Vanson Highwayman, and they should, its a great jacket, but the Bates version also should be on their radar.

Great jacket! Currently looking at the C2, myself! Can you tell me your height, weight and which size you went for? I'm still not sure whether I should go for a 40 or 42 and whether I'll find the jacket sufficiently long for my taste!

 

[sberger]

A couple shots of my Brooks gold label Cafe. This is my first one. Got a size 40, not knowing at the time how they run small. I can get it zipped if just wearing a tshirt, but while it fits fine, if snug, while wearing anything heavier, I can't zipper it. I just found a sz 44 gold label and I should have it early next week.

I've been meaning to post a few pics here, but so many jackets to choose from...

I've been wearing my Lost Worlds Buco Rider a lot lately. I picked this up from another Lounge member a few years ago, I think it might have been @lina. Fits great, and it has broken in a bit but still has a way to go yet. But already comfortable, rugged, good looking, and a favorite of mine.

Oh...my...god. Great pic of a perfect jacket. Man, that is next level.

Seven eight five, code six. Suspect last seen wearing a very heavy looking black leather jacket.
