    Vanson! Vanson! Vanson!

    The new comp weight is stunning. There seem to be two versions, both beautiful. Nice grainy hides and some of them are brown at the core (but vintage type, not fast fade "tea core" crap).

    Field Leathers

    IMO you should have refused the jacket at this stage. I don't think what happened is acceptable but the fact that you were presented with the mistake and didn't push back doesn't help. At least you're UK based so you can post it back pretty cheaply and quickly. I had an issue with my jacket and...

    Help needed - zipper replacement (EU)

    In your position, I would just return it. However, if you’re dead set on keeping it, using pliers to clamp the pull will fix it.

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    Off the rack pricing is in Vanson territory. Price will go up with a special/limited leather like Shinki, CXL, etc or doing a full custom pattern. There's a good and bad version of hip flare.

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    We can safely assume it's the Aero MC jacket pattern, which has a huge chest and massive drop, so the chest will be big, the waist narrow. Make sure to check the hem measurement. I could see it fitting you nicely. (As an aside: I was annoyingly misled by a dealer into not getting that deep V...

    Wool lining in a coat/jacket?

    1. Leather/canvas/denim jackets, yes. Overcoats, no. 2. Your tailor can advise better, but I think lining a bespoke coat with wool is a bad idea. A rich viscose is going to contribute to the drape of the garment, minimize friction, etc. Having a worsted lining won't do any of that. I don't...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Just a note for those who weren't around then: While SB runs a couple of sizes larger than tagged now, in their early days it was the opposite. So this 36 is likely a 32 or 34.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Looks great. Which leather is this? It's way better than the chocolate milk "russet" goat I got a few years ago.

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    I find these vests interesting and see them pretty often on people in real life (far more often than I see jackets), but I'm not sure I get the purpose. I am genuinely curious though.

    FS: Clinch Graham Boots, Black BSW Marketplace special soft toe, US9.5

    Glad it worked out. I wondered what was taking so long.

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    It’s not a Maverick. It’s the Vanson Cheyenne (based on a Lee 101J).
