My first non-mall jacket—Vanson C2. Recently acquired from a member on this forum. Loving it! First day out. Looking to put many miles on it. Glad to be stepping into the world of real leather jackets with this one.

The jacket took the shape of your physique and froze in anticipation. It looks amazingI am more than happy to have found a size 42“ replacement. As I wrote on insta, if it come to only one Leather Jacket, I guess that would be the FW Brakeman made from black Shinki HH

Thank you very much @Bennarion much appreciated! And this in a very short time. It still needs a little more wearing time (e.g. in a rain shower) until the jacket is perfect in every respect (like my previous jacket in size 40").The jacket took the shape of your physique and froze in anticipation. It looks amazing
Looks great!
Have you also tried 613s or 613sh? If so how do you compare them?

Good eye. Was wondering who would catch that. Love the jacket. Fir daily wear the length is good. On the bike (where it gets a lot of wear time) its an inch too long in the front. That created a bend that made the loops look pushed out and sloppy so i had a local leather shop remove them. Not to make this a Stuart post but i sort of think he’s 51% responsible. I sent him a pic in my ryder and he thought it looked “too short.” For stAnding around it is a little on the short side. Would have been perfect for riding which i believe is what Stuart intends these for. Anyhow, still love the jacket except on heavy ocd daysWhat happened with the front belt loops?
Dude this might be the best fitting jacket I’ve seen on here. Doesn’t get better than that

It fits perfectlyCourtesy of member @KBlake. ELMC Californian walnut. I’ve sized up to a 44 now for a bit more of a relaxed fit with room for a light layer if needed.
Definitely a keeper.

Dang! Thats smart! Maybe i’ll look into that. Who did you have do the work? Which zipper did you use?Jacket is looking great. I put a 2-way zip on mine to alleviate that issue.
