Here’s something fresh and new--the Vanson Agent X Café Racer in our Chestnut Vancouver! The Vanson Agent X is slim fitting café style with oodles of cool details. The jacket features a four-pocket front with angled chest pockets, a double-ended front zipper, shoulder gussets, adjustable back buckles and a snap-back collar. The Agent X looks exquisite in our new Vancouver leather, which comes to us from an Old-World firm currently in its fifth generation of production. Tanned with only the purest waters from the neighboring mountains, the oil and wax finishing process highlights the natural beauty of full grain premium English bull hides. With a lively pull-up effect that enhances the appeal of the leather’s grain and richness, Vancouver is simply stunning. Extensive grain and color variation, along with incredibly rich colors, characterize this 1.2mm mineral (chrome)-tanned aniline leather. Vancouver will patina extensively with wear and the natural characteristics of the full grain hide will be visible from day one. Vancouver is available for all of our manufacturers!

Do you have this in black and how thick is it?
Cheers!

We don't have a black in the Vancouver, but we have a super dark brown that we call Dark Hickory! See photo below for the Dark Hickory and Chestnut samples resting on top of the Agent X in Chestnut Vancouver. The thickness is 1.2mm. Take a close look at the Dark Hickory sample--the pull-up effect is unbelievable!

Okay, so I just spoke with Wade about the possibility of a Black Vancouver, and it actually turns out that we do have access to Black! In short, Black Vancouver is no problem...

Hi Carrie,

Those look like great colors, but I'm still confused as to the difference between Vancouver and Bainbridge. Any samples you could send out?

Also, I never see these leathers used for anyone but Vanson. Are you able to order it with an Aero, for example?

The Bainbridge and the Vancouver are quite distinct. The Bainbridge starts out hard and smooth and it creases to reveal incredible grain and color variation, while the Vancouver is fairly soft and grainy right from the start. The Vancouver is also a little bit heavier and grainier. Both are absolutely beautiful and you can't go wrong with either!

Over the years, we've found that leather samples are a poor method for choosing the leather for a custom jacket. It's really hard to figure out what a jacket is going to look like from a 3" by 3" swatch. We take a lot of time and care to photograph the leather on our jackets, since this is the best way to see how the leather actually makes up into the final product! Our photos allow you to see the various characteristics in the leather, from the natural graininess that comes out during production, to the color of the leather when paired with thread and lining colors. We're shipping out hide samples with fit jackets.

Here are some photos of a custom Aero Hooch Hauler in Dark Maple Bainbridge! We'll have more Bainbridge and Vancouver Aero jackets coming through this summer and fall.
