I felt so bad for this architect we were working for the other day. He’s got a brand new garage and nothing but this funky old compact car parked in there. I thought I would throw my Vanson Chopper into the mix to add a touch of class.

Awesome fit JMax!!! Looks like it will break in nicely!

Nice. Yes great fit JMax!

Hell yea man!! That’s perfect! Fit is spot on and you captured the true color perfectly in your shots. Congrats!

Thanks gents, much appreciated. It certainly is an amazing color and the smell, oh the smell, fantastic. Even my bloodhound of a wife loved it. She couldn't stop smelling the jacket and talking about it. She wants me to sell a bunch jackets out of my collection and buy more like this. I will have to consider that.

What a beauty JMax!
Such a perfect and simple jacket, all of the modifications and changes you made were spot on my friend. And the fit is just perfect!

I really liked the way you simplified your LW CHP and figured I needed a police jacket that was a bit more formal, for when I travel. So thanks to you.

The best jacket I've ever seen on you!

That’s really a great jacket. Love the style and especially the red lining!!

Thank you both. The red wine lining and the navy blue stitching had me a bit worried. Especially after seeing some of the other blue jackets around here that were built with either black or olive stitching and linings that looked spectacular.

Too late, by now it has burrowed in and set up shop. Give in, its easier.

I think it’s looking at the pictures of the jacket that does it, so for the next few weeks I’m going to studiously avoid looking at pictures of a CHP. Here’s hoping (kind of).

Here my super old CHiPs from Aero. I got this used, it had been abused, now it's my thrasher too. Don't know when it was made but I've never seen a more beat up aero, I've seen more patina but not more wear and tear. I had a cut repaired I got while extracting my vehicle from a snowbank in Northern New Mexico, I replaced the zip with a beefier one after the original failed. My first horsehide. Still one of my favorites. @JMax

You can see some of the "teacore" patina on the sleeve in the last photo taken a couple years back.

Yessir. I vividly remember walking into the recruiter’s office three days after. Sign me up and send me out. But first, officer school and follow on training. Ha, I didn’t get over there until almost two years had passed.
My utmost respect JMax Sir. I joined up in the **** before Saigon fell but for much different reasons. Back in the compass and map days. You’re an ok guy...for an officer. Lol
That must be where they taught you how to wear a jacket!!!
Your latest might be your greatest!

Frank Zappa in an Aero, real cool
