Vanson Continental Daytona

I like that on that model they have started the zipper appropriatley high for sitting on a bike as opposed to the Model B which zips lower. I bought a Model B in Feb. It has softened with some relatively hard wear. As for the upper arms, better hit the gym.

Thought I would post a thread for anyone interested in this Vanson model as you don't see much about it. I had the sleeve stripes and patches removed, substituted brass hardware, tartan lining, and most importantly changed the collar to a Model B style as the original was very uncomfortable when the jacket was worn open. Sorry for the bad mirror pics, I will have some better ones taken if my GF ever comes back lol. I will say the fit jacket was a closer fit than this one, specifically it didn't have that Vanson upper arm bulge you so often see, it was a tighter fit in that area despite being the same size as this one. I am still very happy with it though, to those who have owned Vansons, does that relax a bit as the jacket wears in or do I need to add an inch to my bicep/tri-cep? This thing will take a while to break in, it is not comp. but X150 which is still a pretty stiff leather. Cheers.

I like it. Reminds me of my Union Garage x Vanson V7. What's the back look like? Is it armored? What about lining, inside pockets?
