I wore US Authentic A2 during flight to SF, and switched to Enfiled when I was visiting JL, and now I am wearing model b, it is still stiff after few months intense use, what a jacket! If Vanson still has same leather and construction level I won’t buy other jacket.
Its finally leather jacket weather again! Today I am wearing recently acquired customized Vanson HC HWM.
According to seller he had this jacket made in 1997, and I might add that now after 21 years this jacket might be at its best! Fully broken in and truly buttery soft competition weight leather is absolutely beatiful to wear and watch!

@Jejupe. Wow! that jacket hardly resembles a hardcore highwayman at all. I would even say that is a completely different pattern.

That's b/c it's a Raid not an HC HWM.
Vanson no longer offers it. It's been replaced by the Arrow, which Thurston has further modified as the Gambler.

You’re right, it seems to be Raid after all. It was sold to me as a customized HC HWM. [emoji19]
This is the sales text from ebay:
”Based on a Hardcore Highway, I had this jacket made in 1997. I had the shoulder epaulets and waist belt deleted, and brass colored zips and snaps substituted for the garish chrome. ”
Now that I think about it even what he mentions about hardware color is not accurate.
New Raids can be bought from https://www.wwag.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/WebSite.woa/wa/DirectAction?page=!26230

The HC has side laces and no belt.
I wouldn't feel bad about it! I had one of these and the later Banson and TB iterations. Nice jackets and a bit less biker than the HC HWM!!

Yeah, I can imagine... We've had this last year, it was an anniversary or something. They're really loud but at least they're not breaking a sound barrier. That's an F-18, right?
I think it's an F-16. Same model the blue angels fly. Yeah the show is downtown but they literally turn around right over my house. To terrifying and also very cool effect. I watched it from the beach yesterday...not in the thick of it but could see and hear most of it.

Today - Tellason Chore Coat
Yesterday - Goodfellow Cotton/Linen Blend Sports Coat from Target (got this on clearance for $12 a few days ago and am really liking it for the price). I'm also wearing Goodfellow raw denim jeans that were on sale from Target for $30/pair which are quite nice for the price and compare well with many of my more expensive pairs of jeans.

Good for you @casechopper!
I love searching sales at Target and Banana Republic for deals that still look the part. Great scores.
