WTT Vanson CHP2 size 38 for size 36 Vanson cross zip.

[Kubatu]

Hi folks, figured I would throw this out here. I have a Vanson CHP2 in good used condition, but it's a bit bulky on me. I think it fits how it should for what it is designed for, but not necessarily what I want. If anyone has a size 36 CHP in similar condition and is interested in sizing up, feel free to reach out and we can look into a trade. Since I've now acquired an OG CHP, I'm also open to considering other Vanson cross zips, as long as they're comp weight and in good condition. I'm content to continue wearing this one if no smaller options are available, though.

Here's a picture I took when I originally received the jacket, and there has not been much wear put on since then - more recent pictures available on request, of course. One thing to note, the circle on one of the chest pocket zippers fell off, although the zipper itself is still very secure and solid. Thanks!

Can’t ever go wrong with a Vanson. Hope a smaller one turns up for ya.

Thanks! I can sympathize with your sizing situation to an extent, haha. I feel like I'm somewhere between a 36 and a 38, leaning more towards the latter, but the sizing of a lot of brands can vary so much. Especially when it's a heritage motorcycle brand.

It’s so hard to know your size in general. Every brand is different, every era is different. Is it a custom size? If it’s labeled by S,M,L what does that even mean? Haha. I can find some decent vintage pieces since they tend to run smaller and TTS. I just can’t find new stuff. Like I’ve had a few LW I’ve wanted and they never turn up in my size. Want a newer Vanson or Langlitz? Not around here. I mean I could always buy new or custom but I ain’t made of money haha. Plus some wicked stuff just here on TFL even gets sold and I’m sitting here wishing I could be adult sizes haha.
