Hope somebody grabbed this gem. I have a 42 as well. Four years old and pretty well broken in. Get compliments on it almost everywhere I wear it. Definitely my go-to jacket off the bike. If it was a 42 I'd grab it without a second thought.
I'm late to the party, but a few were asking about the measurements and fit. I have several Vansons (including a B) and it's fit is closer to the Thunderbird or the C2, which are a little more roomy. The Comet is a much trimmer fit, similar to the sport rider jackets like the CSR2, Manx, etc...
I just have to give a shout out to one of my favorite jackets. A Dianese Zen Evo from Cycle Gear. Not Vanson quality, but this thing is so versatile it's managed to surface as a go-to jacket quite often. Perforated in the chest and back. With the liner out it's comfortable in all but the hottest...
Sorry, I have to side with the seller as well. Used jackets are used jackets and I know I must exercise caveat emptor when shopping for them. I'm not particularly into that flight jacket look so I can't speak to what kind of deal you got, but from what others are saying you got a steal. I'd...
I don't know Welles but I will second what Dav and barnabus say about the less expensive brands. I too have spent more than I need on the "well made" brands, but my all-time favorite go-to motorcycle boot is still the Corcoran (HH) tanker boot. They're around $100 bucks and I've bought maybe...
Excellent choice. Although I do like to use some old baseball glove techniques to make a jacket a little softer at the corners, there's no real substitute for spending the time slowly breaking a jacket in through regular wear. At first it seems stiff and unrelenting but you'll suddenly realize...
Like Guppy said, the heat/moisture probably won't hurt the FQHH itself but the lining could be a different story. I've been buying Vanson competition weight jackets for a number of years and when I get them, the first year I roll it into a ball and sleep on it a couple nights. Then unroll it and...
Working on it right now! So far, I love them. Like all Vanson products they take some breaking in so I'll report back as soon as I get them where I want them. They are unlined leather but very well-made. Comfortable out of the box but I imagine they'll do very nicely after a few treatments of...
Now that's like asking what kind of girl should I marry? :p There are all kinds of gloves to choose from and rarely is there a "do it all" glove, so expect to have as many pairs of gloves in your locker as you have helmets and boots. My number one rule for any pair of gloves is that they first...
I'll just add my two cents to those already thrown in. For a motorcycle jacket, especially an off-the-rack one, I think it's spot on as is. Sleeves should be a little long for that style jacket. You can cinch the wrist up a bit by going about 3/4 closed on the sleeve zippers. That'll keep the...
It's very easy for us to believe the marketing hype that says CS is so important to every business that all they'll do is sit around waiting for our emails so they can respond instantly. If Aero is anything like Vanson, manufacturing top quality product is slightly more important than putting on...
IMHO I'm fine with anyone wearing whatever they like to wear. If you love leather jackets, you wear them for yourself and not anyone else. That being said, despite being a former flyer, I can't stand flight jackets. I have one in my closet and that's it. But since I ride motorcycles almost...
