One other point to consider if you are thinking of ordering this jacket is the fit difference between Butterscotch and Left Field. Butterscotch has opened up the bottom hem a little bit looser than the LF version (probably to allow for more IPA and/or ice cream consumption). While that might be an attractive feature to some it is not anything I would want on my jacket. I own the original LF cut and I think it is a very nice slim fit crosszip jacket. Opening up the bottom hem would lessen the V shape of the jacket and make it boxier.
Made in Florence, Italy?
That's a great deal! Condition looks very good too. Congrats!
Thank you @JMax and @El Marro. Many things to consider and I’m
Has anyone here spoken to Vanson during the pandemic? It’s completely possible I’m an idiot and just didn’t see any news. Wouldn’t be the first and wouldn’t be the last time. So if this is common knowledge, or there’s some pop-up on their site or fb but didn’t see anything. I recently came across this jacket on grailed with gold or brass colored epaulet stars. I have this 90s Vanson I think would look killer with them. I emailed two weeks ago asking how much they charge for the stars, and how much they charge to do the labor of attaching the stars. When I emailed them I got a generic response back about how they were still open and making masks. I waited a few days and replied and got the same email back. So if anyone’s spoken to vanson recently and has an update please do let me know. If I hear nothing from them or you fine TFL members I will just call them this week, no problem with that at all.or if anyone has purchased Stars from them and had them applied and has a price range, also appreciated. In any case here’s the jacket from Grailed and my Vanson So you can have an idea of how it will look. Again in my opinion it would look killer.
I’m going to be honest I am not crafty or handy which is why I wanted to talk to them even though I knew it would be pricey. If it’s very pricey I may just learn it myself though to save that kind of money. Actually Haley’s sister is an amazing crafter and super handy. She makes her own stuff alllll the time. If I can get metal Vanson stars or a close approximation metal stars from a vendor, I may ask her to do it. Thank you for the advice.
Agreed. If I get a hold of him in the next few days when I call, I will for sure let him know how appreciated his/Vansons presence on TFL would be!
