Trying to decide whether I should sell this Vanson Model B.
Bought it last summer and it fits OK, but not the athletic fit of my Vanson Comet. So I've just left it, tags and all, hanging in the closet. I've decided that I really want to get the Vanson Thunderbird (I have an old Schott Perfecto that I love) but every time I go into my closet I see it and have to try it on again. Then I wonder if I should just keep it because a) it is a solid leather jacket and b) it's already here.
Since the Comet doesn't have "footballs" under the arms I rarely wear it on the bike; it's casual wear only. However I've worn it for short rides to dinner if I want to be reasonably well dressed.
The Model B has the footballs, and after a one-season break-in period, it would be a solid on-the-bike jacket. It just doesn't have the tight, "rocker" feel that the Comet has. Still, every time I go into the closet, there it is. Too much jacket to just be hanging around.
Wondering if anyone else ever had such an elephant in their closet? And if so, how did they resolve it?
