Oh! That’s a fairly recent model isn’t it? One of their collaborations?
Looks great!

This popped up on Ebay, anyone know the model? It looks like the Hardcore Highwayman’s dad, so it fought my attention.

VERY similar pocket set up, except this has a flap.

Different back and cuffs, but it also has the collar tab.

Anyone recognize it? Could it be an old police design?

That one looks great and a good price. You should make a run at it.

Don't know how old the model is.

Do note, these run big. I'm wearing a 38 while I usually wear a 42 in most jackets.

Oh no, it’s a 42 AND a slim cut 42 at that.
I’d never squeeze into it!
I’m a 44/46

Ah gimme a break, they run BIG?

Oh here we go, “it depends”

Arrow / TB Gambler / Raid
very similar design but very different tag size
the most recent one is Arrow I think and it fits smaller. Raid fits bigger from the last time I checked.

Sure thing!

Did you order directly from Vanson? What color is that?

Seller says 24” p2p so that actually works for me…

I picked up the last 42”. Feels wrong not to have a Vanson in my closet. I don’t see too many of these. Very simple design. Also has an @cbez approved one piece back. Ironically enough it’s the cheapest jacket in Vansons catalog. I’ll post pics here when it arrives.

Stamp of approval. I also think Marc's raid looks really good.

Does Vanson ever use horsehide?

Not longer as a standard offering (I believe their horsehide supplier was the same tannery that burned down) but special collaborations have featured it. For instance, Butterscotch in LA did a 2mm Horween horsehide jacket with them.

That’s the Brandy Roma. I ordered directly from Vanson and they had it in stock so it arrived after only a week

Vintage Vanson really can't be beat.

They did.... many, many years ago.

They were real, and spectacular!

We're talking about the Massholes not the Jerseyites.

Oops. Duh.

Did a forum member snag that Raider?

I watched it, but I couldn't justify it after haveing specifically been wanting a Hardcore, and having a custom padded fall in my lap.

Someone got a solid buy but it wasn’t me!
