Posting for the holidays!

- Vanson Comet. Like new condition. Worn twice inside.
- Tagged size 42. Everything in perfect working condition. No issues.
- Leather is exactly what you'd expect from Vanson. But the grain in this specific jacket is stunning. The reason I purchased.

$400 shipping included to the CONUS. Trying to give someone a pretty decent discount on essentially a new jacket.

I was curious if you got the black one with the red liner. How did it work out for you?

Love it! Fit is great, really like the design choices the original owner went with. It's interesting, it's a fairly basic design and nothing overly flashy about that jacket. Yet it continues to be one of the most complimented jackets I've worn.

The original owner requested thickest Vic hide available, so it's a bit stiffer than the other Vic hide jackets I have. Recommend it.

Glad to hear, thank you for the small review!

Alright, I have a jacket coming in and need to find this one a good home. Let's be honest, I need the hanger...

$350 and I pay for shipping.

Jacket is "that" good Vanson leather. The grain is amazing. It's not being worn.

250... for a worn twice Vanson Comet.

Santa needs the closet space. Going to eBay today unless it sells here.

250. That’s a pretty decent holiday discount.

I would snatch that up in a heartbeat, but the p2p is about 1.5” too small, which seems small for a non-vintage 42?

It’s a tagged 42, the Vanson site lists the comet as having a 47.5 chest with 5.5” for ease in fit.

I’m just giving you what measurement I get from pit seam to pit seam which may not be accurate. So take Vanson’s size guide as reference.

Would you send to Germany? Your posted measurements are perfect. Could you post a measurement picture of the P2P?

I’m up for sending to Germany if you are okay covering ship. Will take picture and post.
