This was only a 'try on' jacket for sizing sent from Thurston Bros.

Vanson

This Vanson is so nice, how has it developed over time? And what kind of leather is it? Here is my LW suburban 4.5 oz HH with about 2-3 months of daily wear:

Most grainy jacket I have owned is my Goodwear A1. The grain was even more pronounced when it was new, but with about 5 years of intermediate wear the grain has softened a bit while still being pronounced. It is even staring to take a nice fade in the high wear areas but the capeskin is so soft and buttery it really doesn't take sleeve creases.

I got this Sportclad out to measure. I think it was Black originally.

I've always wanted this jacket,

I got this one courtesy of Casechoppers weight loss, I had Dina swap out the buttons..
Visually I think it’s a clone of the Himel Heron.. but with LW Horsehide

Yes I remember the origins. For years he had a rather beautiful one on his website. I have not been there recently. What is the size and what weight do you think it is?

Both are nice

The leather is similar to that in my other LW's ( suburban's & easy ryder)... could be 3-4oz leather plus a nice thick wool lining.. it's definitely a head turner

I asked for extra grainy normally it is not this much. Jacket is just a year old. I am glad it turned out like this. Here it is brand new.
