Good to see Vanson scored some more "Octagon". I've an "Ike" in it and I love it.

Completely agree. The depth of color is amazing. I've a old horsehide model J in Octagon and it's never leaving my possession!

Yup, that Vanson octagon leather is fantastic! Seriously considering pulling the trigger on this one - wonder which model jacket to go with?!

Is it the same weight as competition but just a different dye/finish process?
I'm waiting to see if they offer a Pacific Cycle in a brown...

I'd say it's "competition weight" but my experience with that density of hide is limited. I know it ain't A2 weight but lighter than FQHH weight as well. Pics (even the ones I provided) don't do it justice.

Warm up yet Dean?

The Vanson Octagon is around 3.0-3.5 oz., so definitely right around their Black, Comp. Weight Leather!

We're still trying to source a brown we're pleased with for our Pacific Cycle Leathers brands...one day soon!

Carrie - this is a modified Teamster, right (no half-belt)? Is this how you order your Teamsters or was this a special order?

Hi HorseHide,

Correct...this Aero Teamster was a modified order for a customer of ours...the inspiration for the jacket was Dav's Plain Teamster (photo below). Most of our customers order the Teamster with the half belt. I hope that this is of some help!
