Vanson Jackets Serial Numbers

[Mojo1975]

BUMP for Wade (Mojo1975)

...LOL...

Vanson serial #s are consecutively assigned and have absolutely no reference to the year that the jacket was produced.

The seemingly bizarre nature of the serial numbers would have it seem that the serial #s are, in fact, random, but, again, they're consecutively assigned.

Hope that helps guys...!!!

If you'd like to know when your Vanson was produced, put up your serial #s and I can compare your jacket's serial # to new and vintage Vanson serial #s in our shop!

I just checked one of my made-in-USA Vanson Soprtrider jackets and can find no serial number anywhere. I remember it had a leather fob keyring with serial number stamped, attached to the front zipper when I purchased it.
All of my other Vanson jackets have the number stamped into the wind flap.

On the sportrider jackets, the serial # is usually on one of the pocket's leather facing...

Thanks a whole bunch Wade!

#76656A**05

#58900A**06

#22931A01 (no asterisks between A & 01)

Whenever you can get around to it brother man.

And right you are! I just found the serial number on the INSIDE facing of the right-side pocket. Thanks!!
By the way, the Vanson CHP you shipped me has been a great jacket. I would wear it more often but our recent temps are around 106°F

Okay...this is what is looks like--

Black and white label Vansons (1975 to 1979) have no serial #s whatsoever. From 1980 on, serial #s look to be ordered on a consecutive basis. For example, a four number prefix Vanson is much older that a five number prefix Vanson. I believe that your 22931A01 is older than your 58900A**06 and both are older than your 76656A**05. However, there is a caveat here--customs, such as our PLU-2s and PLU-3s that we carry, seem to be numbered differently from stock designs. So, if any of the above Vanson jackets are full custom pieces, the whole system falls apart. ...LOL...

No problem... Glad you're loving that CHP of yours! Beautiful jacket!!!

Thank you so much Wade.......I know researching those 3 serial numbers had to be labor intensive for you.

It took a real genius at Vanson to come up with that numbering system! It is worthwhile however, as several stolen Vanson jackets have successfully been returned to their registered owners.

LOL it is like a needle finding in mud.

It looks like I have an older four numbered jacket followed by the number that it was in that particular production run. Thanks guys!
