just about forgot this was still up! never put it up on Ebay, so jacket it still available

I bought it new in 2007 and lived in for the first couple of years when I first got a bike. Someone asked for the bottom hem measurement - its 19''

terrible light in my apartment. color is hard to tell. kind of a dark chocolate brown. this image gives a better sense of the color (not my jacket)

thank you sir, she has served me well on and off the bike for a long time now.

Hi all, I'm mostly a lurker here and thought someone here may like this jacket before it goes up on ebay. This is a much loved Vanson Model B custom job without the side buckles or a zip in liner. It's the competition weight leather in dark brown (which I've hardly ever seen), brass hardware...

I think that I read in a post from HD that the berry tartan lining was quite a bit thinner than the cotton drill.

I don't notice a massive temp difference between these and 14 oz jeans. get em. they're great.

I've seen the other marbled octagon in person and was not a fan . This color is much more subtle - looks great. Is the m19 some sort of naked finish as well?

The dark brown is great - very dark chocolate brown- theman custom ordered me a model B in this color from Vanson - quite a durable finish. The finish on the captain A jacket looks more translucent like it shows more of the leather texture - what is the color called? love to see more pics of...

I assume that that 'turnings' have something to do with how the leather is folded at the seams - just the word that Amanda used to describe how they can get between sizes.

hrrrmmm...that's same as me 33'' jeans size...about 37'' measured at the hips

When I emailed Amanda, that was how she suggested that I could get to a 39, a size 38 with smaller turnings. By the way, seeing that yours is tight at the waist - what is your waist size Griff?

My understanding is that the 2 panel arms fit a bit slimmer than the 3 panel configuration

Based on the info that I've received from everyone (much thanks to all) my new specification for a cafe racer are: size 38 with smaller turnings 1 inch added to arms shoulder only bi-swing back fqhh dark brown brown cotton drill lining Antique brass hardware 2 chest pockets , no...

Nice jon! First photo I've seen of the CR with collar - looks really good. These photos help a bunch to judge sizing and have sold me on the fqhh. Is this jacket standard body and arm length?
