Here's some photos of my brown Model F, which is nicely broken in. I don't mind the chest pockets, but I don't think I'd miss them if they were omitted.
It is nice...I wonder what the length is on those...that plaid lining makes me nervous, like it's one of those comets that are 22" long in back. Effectively a leather manzier..Very nice Mercury for sale on the bay. I am pondering the darn thing.
Yeah, I bet it is comet-like. I think in that size the back is a tad longer, say around 23.5. Still a short mofo.
That's what I thought. I have an excel spreadsheet that I keep on my phone that details all of my jackets' measurements. In case I am away from home and the opportunity to purchase a jacket rolls into my life.
No drop-- around 21 in front. I rarely wear it. Mostly if I am going on long ride. I sometimes wear it to go out but need to match shirt and jeans carefully. None of my real low rise jeans and dark jeans and shirts, that sorta thing.Gotta have a drop front for me if it's that high and tight in back...
Yeah that's a perfect length for seated on the bike zipped up all day. Other than that...bit tough to pull off.No drop-- around 21 in front. I rarely wear it. Mostly if I am going on long ride.

That's exactly why I've let go of my Comet (s) over the years.Yeah that's a perfect length for seated on the bike zipped up all day. Other than that...bit tough to pull off.

Eeeeek. Looks awfully soft. Nothing like the rock hard angry comp weight I'm familiar with. Not a fan.Check this out,I believe it is their new competition weight leather https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/332630344091

Man that's the comp weight I know and love. Smooth as glass and stiff as wrought iron. Takes years to soften. I dunno. I haven't felt the new stuff so I suppose I can't really say. But based solely on appearance. I'll take this^^I know, but I am more interesting to see how the leather develop over the time.
I think I am going to keep the Enfield as a support of Vanson, and I will keep purchase their jacket in the future.

Yikes that jacket would be 2-3" above my belt. No thanks on that measurement.
