Vanson just posted this to Facebook. Looks amazing.

Nice! Im digging the olive green hopefully the color wont be a custom.

 

[felix03]

Yeah that color is amazing. Design looks similar to the Chopper minus the quilted shoulders and elbows

 

[strokes1251]

Yes it does. Plus it doesnt have all the waist straps at the bottom. Cant wait to see the price on this one.

Looks great, didn't realise it was olive! Thought it was a trick of the light. Quite retro. Looks great. My custom chopper should be here in the next week...ordered mid December.....

Great looking jacket, a nice mix of the Chopper and Comet and one I'll be keeping an eye out for once they become available.

The more I look at it the more I want it, if they make it available with pockets for armour it will be perfect.

Bunyip, what customizations did you have done on your Chopper? I ordered one with a 2-way zip. It's due to arrive in May.

I emailed Vanson and have been told olive and black will be standard colours, it's not armoured and availability is around 2 months (can be ordered now).

G'day Felix, I went a bit nuts with mods. I had wanted one since I first saw it, but the Vanson service was terrible. It took months, then I actually rang them from Oz, they had just had a sale, and honoured a decent discount for me, and from then on the service has been superb. I have added a removable fur collar, silvery grey contrast stitching , and white gussets, because of the white and silver, I ordered chrome hardware to match. I love the brass, but with these mods, I think the chrome will look great. Not sure how it will actually look, as it's a nice mean jacket in black and brass....ordered it in December, should have had it early Feb. I think it's actually getting made now...hopefully a week or two away...

Nice jacket but not nearly as interesting as Chopper, in my opinion.

Bunyip, how does removable fur collar work on a cafe racer collar?

Not too sure to be honest. I know Langlitz do it aswell. I think an interior snap and maybe an extra couple of snaps on the outside? I've never seen one, I just thought it would look pretty mean, on an already striking design. I'm drowning in mc jackets, I have made a promise to myself to get a civilian jacket at some stage, as I don't wear any of my mc jackets unless riding....who knows...I still want a j106...

 

[Monitor]

I don't think I've ever seen a removable collar on a mandarin style collar so I can't really imagine what it looks like but yeah, considering this is Chopper we're talking about, I think it'll be beyond cool! And there's no going back to civilian from mc jackets so you might as well order that J106 right now. I know, I've been there.

Bunyip, sounds amazing. Can't wait to see it!

That color is just epic.

Great looking jacket. Looks to me like a leather version of their Trophy jacket. I bought a canvas (trophy w/o padded shoulders) at last years spring open house, looking forward to the possibility of seeing one of these there this year!

Couldn't figure out how to post the picture. Here is a link that shows the waxed canvas trophy. Definitely the inspiration for this jacket I'd bet.

That's interesting Boardshorts, thanks for posting the link. I hope the leather version has a one piece back though...

Vanson sure does have some great colors! I love my rare oxblood HH Enfield!

It's a stunner!
