What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[dannyk]

Good to see you back. Go Bills.

Agree 1000%. X-150 was in my top 2 hides. Octagon right there too.

Go Bills! JA17 for MVP!

And good to be back. Popped in to sell some stuff and figured I might stick around for a bit.

No idea but that’s kind of why I said late 80s to early 2000s. Sometime in the mid 2000s I don’t know if they changed tannery or just formulate a bit. But it changed. Still really good. Heavier I think. Cement like even. Took longer to break in, and wasn’t quite the same. A notch or two lower in terms of beauty but still pretty good. Then the tannery fire incident and now none of their stuff is the same. I think two of the tanneries they were using closed down. So X-150 and CW are both different now. As @JMax said before like late 80s or early 90s what they had as CW was a lot thinner and not as nice either. But it’s all nice. Vanson never has bad stuff. Just not the same. I had a model E from the 90s that was just a touch too big that I wish I kept cause it was so nice. Then a Chopper from like 2015 or 16 both in CW and that was the heavier, duller built like cement jacket. It would survive the apocalypse but wasn’t nearly as nice to look at.

Thank you for the reply. I agree that Vanson always seems to use quality leather at least with the four I have owned. But I will say this Model J built in 2000 is the best and most substantial leather I have owned. Was a beast of a jacket but not practical for my use and climate so I sold it. Huge mistake.

Both the jacket and developing film are cool things.

Late 70's / early 80's Vanson Model F. As you hoarding hooligans know, it feels good to grab a different jacket now and then for a different look. Walking into work, so I can pay for more jackets obviously.

I rolled the dice on a nice Bates that came up too small. I need to list that myself.

That's a cool jacket for the right person.

Is this it then? View attachment 673709

Is there anything on this beyond the aesthetic? Feel free to explain to me as you would to a 5yo, because I'm not much more knowledgeable than one Nevermind, @dannyk did while I was posting this, thanks!

No,this is it
The last pic is made with the latest competition weight, nice but no comparison to the old stuff, I'm lucky to have 4 jackets in that,they are staying put.
