That is the best cross zip in your collection imho....The hide, the fit....really nice. I'd like to see a shot with the cuffs unzipped and your hands out of your pockets...mainly b/c I want to believe they would be too short on me and I him'd and haw'd over this jacket when it was on ebay....always wanted a Lawrence.

It's raining now and I put the mouton collar back on, so interior photos.

As with so many vintage jackets, the sleeves on the Lawrence are on the shorter side. I feel they're short on me and I'm certain they'd be short on you. If I'm wearing a long-sleeved shirt, it's tough to zip up the cuffs all the way and have any amount of reach. Despite how the jacket appears in the photos and how it measures, it feels a little small on me. I find the Rich-Sher more comfortable because it's a bit larger and can accommodate more layering. I can only fit a t-shirt or thin shirt under the Lawrence. The mouton collar adds a little bulk at the neck, too.

Not complaining, though. One thing I really like about the Lawrence is the super wide wind flap. The leather is a really beefy choice cut, too. Like a delicious steak.

Short sleeves might mean that the jacket was designed to be worn with gauntlet style riding gloves. Get some and try it out.

Aero Teamster, most comfortable jacket I have, I feel like a mid-age man already.

Re-dyed Langlitz Cascade in goatskin. I might still resort to going black on this one.

Here's what I've been wearing almost every time when there was a chance to wear a leather jacket the last year.
Now that it's one year old it eventually feels broken in. Super thick cordovan steerhide PHWM.
Cheers!

Hope mine looks that good!
Wow!

I’ll get better pics in the light but man this Vanson is an absolute tank. Beautiful, thick and grainy comp weight cow. Easily one of the nicest Vanson I’ve owned. Feels brand new. Thanks @jpk_NJ and @JMax. I appreciate it!!

Fantastic. You have such excellent taste. The Hardcore is such a great design. Looks amazing. Tough as hell

We both do I love this thing. Beastly indestructible piece of M/C gear.

That was the work in progress you posted about a week ago, right? Looks great. Do Fiebings dyes run when the jacket is wet? That would be my only concern - I am considering dyeing a beater jacket I got off the bay but am concerned about Fiebings dye running.

Great fit!

I can’t decide if I like this one or the Rich Sher better. But damn they are both perfect “perfecto” style jackets. Much better than Schott. Even if all the hyperbole of the years from Schott is true and they invented the first ever in this style. Even if it were true Brando wore a Schott not a Durable, the Lawrence and Rich-Sher did it better!

Exactly what I was thinking after seeing both jackets posted. Even when I knew very little about vintage leather jackets I'd still have looked at them and thought how definitive of the 50s leather cross zip they look. Cooler, for want of a better word, than Schott by far.

I wanted to add that recently I've been putting some hard effort in at the gym and increasing my workout levels (carefully but with renewed vigour). Depending on how my body feels after the next few weeks, I will either (jokingly) curse @ton312 or thank him for his inspiration. End goal: who wouldn't want to look that good in a Vanson, or any other jacket?

Vanson Enfield. This jacket needs more love, it's really a great jacket, just a bit too heavy, and squeaky, to my taste.

Couple of beers with very old friends. Wearing the Aero x Ton312 collaboration jacket. Pretty faithful to this, now that rainy autumn has started.
And: No, they did not sell me a black one...

They sure didn’t. It’s such a hard color to capture but those in the know....know.

Green! You want green? Do I have green for you! Picked this up for 50 quid off the bay - another impulse buy. Seller said length is 24" - no way. Still fun little jacket for St. Patrick's Day or something. Brand is Chevignon, looks to be from the early 80's, very heavy aniline dyed leather.
