Vintage Vanson C2 - Size 46 but fits 44

[konadog]

A truly fantastic vintage Vanson C2 in black cowhide (I believe). It's a size 46, but it fits more like a 44. The leather has broken in beautifully and the jacket is very comfortable and wearable. There is some fraying on the quilted liner, but it doesn't affect the wearing of the jacket. I think it fits me well, but I prefer a little more length in the front, so I'm passing it on. Measurements:

Shoulders - 19.5"
Chest - 23"
Sleeve -25"
Front - 25"
Back -26"
Waist - 21"

Nice jacket, is the kidney pad ridged?

I have the same jacket. The graining is equal to yours. Same 46 size that fits like a 44. Has same spacing at bottom of zipper to hem. Yours must be an early Vanson also.
Cut short for motorcycling. If anyone is looking for a medium heavy black leather,

broken in cross zip, this looks like it.

If you're asking if the kidney pad is rigid (firm), it is.

Thanks, sorry English is my first language

That's a Model E, not a C2.

Doing some further research, you are correct. It's a Model E.

Hi, man! Just sharing with you a photo of this jacket that I bought from you. Thanks, again!

Congrats! That's a beautiful jacket.

Can someone educate me please, do all Vansons age like this or is it specific to certain vintage hides or, something?
