Awesome. Looks like Z to me. X is glossy. Did Vanson confirm? Still awesome and I may be wrong.
Having seen pics of both z & x150 i think you are right about it being Z150. Been wearing it a lot around the house etc and its starting to take shape.i don't have the fob or I would ask Kim at vanson for some info.But I'm delighted with it and I think it's a really cool looking jacket Might look for a Vanson Raid now :)

The chair or hanger can leave dimples/ bumps in the shoulders. Mold shouldn’t be a problem unless you’re in the tropics
Thank you! You’re right despite of the large/wide back chair - this morning there are signs of bumped shoulders. I’ve spread it back as it’s still very damp and now wearing around the house, and getting laughed at by the kids!

Here's the chopper alongside the other vanson jackets, all other 4 competition weight. The chopper is easy to wear and could easily become a favourite.
A couple more pics with it beside the cascade, the size 44 Montana and custom made BKS ex Strathclyde police m/c jacket.

Wow that’s a party!!
Lol oh there more i can assure you :) my problem is I don't like selling, and with having so many they remain practically unused.The older Belstaff Montanas are a fantastic jacket,don't confuse them with the Italian rubbish and the ebay fakes though. Waiting for a break in the Scottish weather to try the chopper out on the triumph.

The model E on the back is perfect for next weeks chill in UK.

I’m the opposite - 1 in 1 out - only the chosen ones get to stay in my wardrobe ;)

I wish I could do that,the problem is where I am in Scotland it's so cold and wet,hence I don't ride through winter. Therefore I wear them indoors lolol,,they get worn in not worn out :)

Z is awesome. You likely checked, but the serial number should also be found on the jacket. Inner pocket maybe?
