Pictures of Vanson Jackets?

[Hammer Down]

There are very few pics of Vanson jackets online, or on The Fedora Lounge.

99% of all existing pics are Enfields.

Post your pics here in this thread!

Let's get some pics going, especially if you've got some pics of Vanson jackets other than the Enfields!

I just want to preempt this by saying that these are not the styles of coats that the fedora lounge is about. I'm posting them to this thread to give people some idea of just what Vanson at least has been capable of in the past. Most of these jackets are more than 5 years old now at the least. But I'm posting them so that people can see just how skilled Vanson could be, meaning, anything you can dream up they can do, at least they used to be that good. I do have a Vanson A2 coming to me at some point and will post pics of that when it arrives as it betters jives with the theme of the forum.

Based on their Luftwaffe Coat, I rearranged the colors and had the shoulder cape added that was itself based on something I had seen on old paintings of Merlin. It's a festive coat made for being jolly and puckish, and weighs a merry ton lol.

Car coat done with solar leather.

This one started its life as a cafe racer of sorts and ended up a big art project.

Got this one from Logan's Closet a while back. Leather is heavy but without all the stiffness that you usually get with Vansons.

Vanson was the jacket company of my youth. I loved their leather and never thought anyone could be better, and then I strolled into this place and found a pantheon of phenomenal jacket production companies. I haven't done direct business with them in a long time, and the last two jackets I bought have been through dealers. But, when I emailed them last years to ask if they could put together a jacket based on an insane Moebius design, they said they could and even quoted me a not totally insane price for the amount of work. We'll see if one day I get around to going through with it.

Hope these images help at all with people wondering about what Vanson can do, and Ill post that A2 when it lands later this week.

Interesting Vansons there, Lando.

My Vanson Insurrection PLU-3 with custom "Insurrection Motorcycle Club, Seattle, WA" lettering on it...the lettering is very old school and looks great.

I turned the photo into a "Motivational Poster" a long time ago...but I still like the photo...AND the jacket!!!

oh and since this seems to be a vanson thread I have a quick question about sizing. Im about 5'8 5'9ish give or take and i weight about 160 would a size 42 in this style of jacket be to big? the jacket in the auction isnt the one im looking at buts its the closes looking to it thanks

Yes. it would be too big. I am 5' 11" 180 and it would fit me well.

 

[potemkin_city_limits]

Those are some crazy jackets

Here's my Teton. When I got my Enfield from ebay, I thought for a while that I'd never wear it again. But in truth, the Teton is a great bike jacket with armor and venting. So I use my Enfield for the times when I'm going to a restaurant or shopping or something where I'm going to be walking around and the Teton is a little too much jacket. Otherwise I love to have the freedom to open up the chest pockets or the scoops in the sleeves. And the pockets are super-convenient too. (Before I recommend it, though, I have to add that the metal zipper broke the first weekend, so I sent it back for a replacement nylon zipper Kim suggested that works super.)

And now you see why there are no pics online.

I don't understand those coloured patchwork jackets. The only Vanson's I relate to so far are the Enfield and the Model B (as long as it is not done up like the House jacket).
