A stroll in King of the Road. Don’t mind the camo bottoms!

Bouncing between my vanson E and vanson chopper, both competition weight but the E is the best comp by far,the chopper is much lighter/softer , still great though. Also thrown into the mix is my belstaff Montana, awesome jacket.

Bought this carhartt jacket new a couple years ago and somehow ended up with one that’s US-made. I actually (regretfully) got this one off Amazon of all places. Be assured I don’t shop there anymore lol, at least as much as I can avoid it. I’m not sure if it’s just luck of the draw or if there is a way to intentionally source from their modest domestic production. If anyone has an answer let me know! I know the famous Dave’s New York carries their US-made double knees. At any rate, the jacket is so comfy from being worked in, though I don’t wear it as much as I should. My job supplies us with carhartt jackets but they’re trash—long rectangular patterns that are terrible to move in.


The overalls are the sadly discontinued (as far as I know) black duck Iron Hearts. These are constantly scraping branches, asphalt, etc, getting coated with mud, and still look barely worn. Just insane quality. I especially love the hardware on the sides (pictured below)

Two beautiful Vansons. I was wondering a few things about their quilted linings. Are they really thick (warm) and how long lasting is the material?

The quilt lining is very comfortable here in Scotland, I've certainly never overheated ,its also very robust so i cant forsee any premature wear issue.i have 3 other Vansons and they are built like tanks.
