Just came across this vintage Vanson Horsehide Enfield Jacket this morning at the flea market.
Super excited to find such a rare beast out in the wild...and unexpected. The hide is incredibly heavy, and has an element of red in the brown. Riri zips which, I believe, indicates an earlier version of this jacket. Even though it is labeled size 40, I've found that the Vanson's Enfield Jackets run a size bigger for me (unlike their Comet and Mercury) and this one fits like a size 42. This is definitely one of the thickest jackets I've ever owned. Still on the fence about keeping it...
