Back pics please!
NICE
Super jacket @Jejupe.Clayton is my new favorite horsehide! (At least for a while it is). Best way to describe it is to say that in terms of look and feel it sits somewhere between Aero’s Vicenza and Horween FQHH. Its stiffer and thicker and than Vicenza, it has the shiny finish of the CXL FQHH, but its more pliable and lighter than it and brakes in easier. Great hide all in all!
As a bonus I really dig the statesman pattern!
Here’s a few extra pics of the jacket:

Not the jacket I’m wearing today but my jacket story for the day. I was working for a lady I know here in Berkeley cleaning up some funky old wiring in her garage. Tucked away in the very back of the garage she had some old clothing stored on hangers. My eyes immediately went to the black leather jacket in the middle of everything and I pulled it out to have a closer look. I was pleasantly surprised to see it was a well worn Vanson and when she came down to check on the work I asked her about it.
She told me that she had the jacket made for her by Vanson sometime in the 90s. At the time she rode a BMW motorcycle and had been unable to find a riding jacket that fit her well. She is originally from the East Coast, and still has family there, so she went to the Vanson factory to have them measure her for this jacket. Very cool story, and it definitely made my day.

Spectacular fit and really cool jacket!Lewis Leathers Universal MKII in a sunny day with USN 50s wool serge trousers. It is surprisingly a warm enough jacket with the wool liner.
