There is a nice looking, older, Vanson CHP on the bay right now. Size 44. Reasonably priced too
Is the CHP a cross zip ? I can't remember. I have an Aero D Pocket , an exact copy of Mr Propers here on the forum. I may end up keeping the Highwayman. The Aero is amazing looking but I have to plan on 5-10 minutes to zip it up. The zipper is so small on it

Yes it’s a minimalist cross-zip. No epaulets, no coin pocket, no slash pocket…just two zip hand warmer pockets.
Your E looks great!

Thank You !! I like it a lot better without Epaulettes, with those and the belt, it seemed a little much.

Hey Gents, I just acquired a vintage Vanson jacket which I believe to be an old Model E. It appears to be slightly shorter than the newer models. Can anyone confirm the model and possibly estimate the decade it was made in?

Did you pick that up on Etsy from Montreal? I was told an E from the early 80’s.
I had it in my basket for a day or two then poof, it was gone!
