Nice jacket. One of the coolest cafe racer designs around. This one looks appropriate for the “short jacket” thread. How do you feel about the length? Looks like it hits just at or a bit above the belt line.

It is definitely on the short side, but i feel it is how a Cascade should fit, above the belt in the front, covering the belt in the back.
I wouldn't want it to fit differently.

If that’s the fit you were seeking, then you’re right on target. That’s tough to do with a vintage piece, second-hand.
Does it push down on your belt at all while moving around? Or is it far enough above the belt where it doesn’t hit it at all? I’ll have to check the fit on mine again. I think it’s right at my belt line.
I've only worn it a couple hours so i can't really tell, but nothing pushing down or uncomfortable.
I think it is the thin hide anyway, so it just moves and conforms.

It’s a super cool jacket, fits great, and I really like the design on the back. Thanks for posting!

Vanson Chopper. The leather is Z150, I'm interested to see how it develops when the shininess gets rained off and it gets softer. I got lucky with the fit on this one, normally the sleeves are too long and the body's too short.

My girlfriend already makes fun of me if i tuck my T-shirt, if i tuck my sweater i will never hear the end of it.

Very nice. Did you request the Z from Vanson or is there a vendor out there selling Choppers in the Z? Like TB special-orders Choppers in full CW.
