Ahh, you're right @Guppy thank you. I must say that I like the Japanese pre-owned version better than the new piece on Vanson's website. I don't know if Vanson is sourcing different hides but they look like two very different jackets even though they're the same pattern.

I like the narrowness of the sleeves - I find that larger sleeves don't look good on me.

Another Vanson, this time a Double Riders, however, I've never seen this model either - can anyone identify it? Size 40, approximately $830 USD. I really like this one too. https://buyee.jp/item/jdirectitems/auction/u1075758514?conversionType=jdirectitems_auction_DirectSearch

I'm a solid size 36 and I couldn't zip it up - but the guy in the photo can't either and since it fits his shoulders he's still kinda able to pull off the look. @Guppy thanks for the model information, again I've never seen it before but I like the stitching on the elbows and forearms, which...

Very cool looking Vanson 4003, Size 34, approximately $450 USD. I've never seen this pattern and while it's a small size, for the right person it would be fabulous - someone should jump on this...

@Monitor I really dig that jacket - you look quite natural in it, like you just toss it on with hardly a thought and it works beautifully. Well done.

Another good looking moderately priced Bates. Size 36, approximately $370 USD. https://buyee.jp/item/jdirectitems/auction/x1162735403?conversionType=jdirectitems_auction_DirectSearch

Good looking Schott 618 - Size 34, approximately $335 USD seems like a good deal, someone should jump on this. https://jp.mercari.com/item/m32957504432 Seller's measurements: Shoulder width 41.5 Body width 48 Body length 59.5 Sleeve length 62

Not sure what to make of this one... I dig this Lewis Leathers collab jacket, and the fit pic looks terrific, but at approximately $18,450 USD this one seems a bit spendy. https://jp.mercari.com/item/m90618609700

For the Belstaff fans - a funky 1970s double-rider-ish size 38 with the tags and some interesting work on the back panel. At approximately $450 USD this could be a fun one to own. https://jp.mercari.com/item/m48939496121 Per the seller: Shoulder width: 41.5cm Body width: 50cm Length: 61cm...

@tmitchell59 that LW Trojan is really good looking, the graining and wear on it makes it look luxurious even laying flat. How was it to wear? How was the drape?
