Why they have "Schott embossing" on their jackets?

They are an authorized Schott retailer. They make their own stuff as well:

I can't find pricing on these models anywhere on the site, Passaic makes great cop coats and like monitor demonstrated a really cool CR

ok, understood. thanks. these net pages are very customer friendly in a way that they certainly don't tempt you to any impulsive orders.

Indeed. Having owned a few they are far superior to what's being shown on the site.

I don’t mind using google and TFL for fit photos but that whole photobucket thing really threw a wrench.

The Model F gets an F.............

Enfield for the win! Great jacket.

Yes, that Model F is an interesting design, did think those chest pockets were a bit too low. Wouldn't mind having one though.

I had an Enfield, found it a little on the boxier side, The collar could've been a little wider.

Now that Oxford, looking mighty fine! Just found out about this design after their website revamp. The site says its their Model D (which is a Model B with quilted lining) with collar added. Always loved the Model B design, the collar on this one looks really slick. If my funds free up, might consider adding this one on my to-buy list.

Of all the Vansons that I've burned through, the Model F is the only one I kept. The Comet looks great as a design, but in reality the several I've owned were all way too short and too wide for my particular body type. (Love the simplicity of the Mercury, but it's essentially a Comet with a spread collar.) The Enfield just didn't work for me either...a bit too bulky. Once I even had Vanson make me a custom jacket... personally measured by Kim Vanson (based on the Mercury but with a longer body/sleeves.) But I ended up selling that one because I never wore it.
I agree that the Model F looks a bit ungainly and busy at first sight. And then I put it on, it just fits and feels right. I'm still not sure why it works better for me than all the other Vansons. It's definitely the odd bird in Vanson's menagerie of leather jacket designs...but it has turned out to be a very comfortable beater!

I really like the Vanson F- It has a kind of 1970's thing going, but in a good way. I would have gotten one except I don't need and don't enjoy the comp weight leather which is spec'd way over my needs. I would consider their Firenze hide but I hear it takes months for a custom to be made.

I have seen Fs go for around this price on eBay. If you dig the F I would wait for one on ebay. The only Schott I have purchased online that fit right in the sleeves and length is my denim perfecto. All others I have quickly sold off.

No, I always thought the F is their original design until I saw this

Good suggestion. Ebay is where I found my vintage Model F. If you have the patience, they occasionally turn up and they're usually not that expensive. (I think I paid around $125 for mine.) Personally, it's not the kind of jacket I would throw big money at just to get it brand new...and they just look better with age.

Brown enfield on ebay. 46. Currently reasonable. Not mine.
