Vanson jacket appreciation

[abone]

This is my custom Oxford in CW

I do like an Oxford, would love to see a good CW one

NP, I will post those. Just a thought first that might sort the other question out. If my Maverick is (serial number 56064A), when does that date to? @BB1239, I recall you and @Peter Mackin worked out the age of my CHP (117708) what do you think?

Tell you my thinking after we know the Maverick date of birth..

Should be somewhere close to 2005, give or take a few years. It's been a busy few days here, but I will post my math and some supporting facts as soon as I can

Thanks B, if 05 that is interesting as I think (happy to be corrected) that would be at the end or after what some might call classic CW period. I will need to check when the tannery burnt down.

My thought is that the Maverick was bought by me a couple of years ago as NOS (never worn or unpacked a shop that closed down and sold it's stock on to storage) so it may be a New 'Old' CW example we could look at against the New 'New' of Jhilij's and also give Hannes a good feel for his up coming Maverick

Vanson Enfield again, hard to capture the beauty of this color. It took me awhile to decide if I would like the color and if I could pull it off. The leather is thick like CW but buttery soft almost like full Analine.

This looks potentially much better than the recent CWs and particularly good to have on this model!

What would be really interesting would be if anyone had a pic of the 'old' CW when it was New.

I took this picture back in March of the Comet I bought for my wife in around 2004. It’s probably been worn less than a dozen times so it’s “almost” new.

And here’s the new CW from a few jackets Vanson sent me to try on.

Ok I bit the bullet and pulled the trigger on a Cycle King. It’s on the way to me

It may be a little longer than I’m used to. We’ll see how it goes…

Original owner’s photos attached. Until it arrives.

Yes, please!

Here they are H:

Interesting that this was bought three years ago from a guy who sold his shop and put it into storage from new. If we are dating it approx. 2005 it may be 'Old' CW with three years non riding wear.

Rather than this CHP which is 'Old' CW with 25+ years hard riding wear.

It's time travel in hide development.

New stuff looks pretty good. As good, or, as good and different, up to you.
Does look good though...
