This is Vanson x Iron&Resin rider executed in 14-oz waxed cotton the UPS-man brought me a few minutes ago - couple of quick shots. The jacket was posted in the Finds and Deals thread by @JMax (thanks!). I am wearing size S. It weighs a respectable 3 lbs and I love it. Check out the massive #8 YKK Vanson 2-way zipper (the size of my thumb!), a deerskin collar liner, heavy duty snaps, bellows pockets. Lining only in the back, not up front or in the sleeves. No matter. Iron and Resin is blowing them out at 50% MSRP on fleabay.

Trying out this hat thing. Feels weird but I like it.

Schott 141 for today’s non-working hours
how long you have the 141? I have love hate relationship with mine. Don't think it's broken in yet, especially on the sides with the gussets, biswing, straps, etc. So it's a little bulky on mine. Definitely see improvement from when I first bought it though. But yours looks pretty clean. Wondering if it'll all drape properly at some point and lay flat.

I bought mine used on eBay and the previous owner(s) did a lot of work, especially on the arms.

It’s also a bit small on me which is probably helping it look better in pictures. Looks great unzipped but the back gussets open like a cobra when I zip it up.

@AeroFan_07 Thanks!

No visible wax transfer to a Manila envelope in the sleeve. I even heated up the sleeve with a blow dryer to simulate body heat, the scientist that I am, lol.

Many thanks! Of course Medium is sold out in Black now. Though this looks like one of those trimmer vanson mediums I never can squeeze into properly being a 42 chest , aka Chopper. I’m on the fence about buying the Large. I need a 22.5/23 pit. What does the lounge say....?

yeah, that's the same issue I'm having. The front looks killer. Could use a tiny tuck in the upper waist/lower lat area. But the sides are a mess. Between the gusset, the biswing back, the pull from the straps. I wonder if I could have a tailor get rid of the biswing and just taper the waist/hips how I want them so I can lose the straps. I love the 100 series leather, but the fit on this thing is weird.

My bicep sleeve is also too puffy. I gave it the hot water treatment, which I think helped a little bit, but still not ideal. The struggle is real LOL. First world problems for sure.

Chilly 5C start to today's Harley ride. 16C by the time of the photo. Required a quilted/lined jacket.
Hence the Schott 641HH Horsehide café racer. Perhaps my second equal "warmest" jacket.
Had the home log fire on last night and tonight...roll on summer !
