What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[Trouser Bark]

The second was an older G-8. I've heard enough controversy as to whether or not these were bonafide gov't issue jacket and for all I know they're an invention from the minds of the Indiana Jones crew.

Size 44 but fits closer to a 46 aside from being a tad short and my simian arms would dig a little more sleeve. Very soft and supple, the jacket is unlike most of my others. Almost seems delicate but can't be to have lasted this long and not been scuffed up or rashed at all.

So you'll have to think about changing your belt style.

Not according to Lagerfeld...

i think slim belt with different buckle, that one looks too workwear or military style, perhaps ranger belt or western belt works better on you

I agree absolutely but the belt is deliberate. I love to ruin everything with some off detail.

Perfect cross zip and it suits you very well!

Vanson “E“ from a fellow lounger. Flawless condition with two belts and a mouton collar.
This is a tank of a jacket, and it will need to get WAY colder for me to be able to wear it.

I have been looking for this model for some time now. Thanks to @ton312 for advising on the correct size. Vanson is notoriously inconsistent between their models, and while I can go down to a 40 in some jackets, this is a 44 and had to be!

Hi Tom, is that a standard Vanson removable collar please? (looking to get one for the CHP).

Thanks

I asked Vanson about a removable fur collar for my CHP a year ago. They said that since the jacket does not have snaps for a collar I'd have to send them the jacket to have it done.

Morning, (Nice suede Cheyenne by the way ;_)

I know mine is a MKII, not sure what the MKI was like, however...

Morning! Loving the Cheyenne!

Ah, you have them on yours! Nice. I thought it was too much hassle to send it all the way to them in the US and decided it wasn’t worth the trouble/shipping costs for me. But I do like having a removable collar. It makes the jacket more versatile, and it’s quite stylish as well.

My experience last winter (for us over our side of the Atlantic) tells me to always chat with Carrie at Thurston Brothers.


Not sure this is going to fit this year. (I will layer up.....to enjoy collar and 106)
