Just noticed the zipper box is solid brass on both, it's a small but nice touch as Vanson has recently transitioned to a plastic zipper box. Would love to see some shots that highlight the color a bit more. I've always very much liked the C2, particularly the back as it's reminiscent of the model B...I always feared the body length would be too short for me tho.
3 initial comparisons to the Model B I own
1: shorter which will likely avoid bunch up while seated on a cruiser
2. While it does stand on its own it feels slightly softer
3. Sleeves. Not as ballooned in the bicep, not as tight at the wrist. One year in and i still cannot fully zip the wrist on my watch side on the B. No problem here outta the box.
Examined stitching. None missing and more than straight enough for me (same goes for the B).
Now that so many vendors require a delivery signature, and the major carriers hit my house while I’m at work, i have started having things delivered here. Productivity will suffer. TBH today is pretty much shot now.

Not really a recent thing, my 2008 CHP 2 has a plastic zipper box, wonder what is going on there?
Are these two jackets new?

Interesting. I thought it was closer to 2012 when they made that switch. Either way I prefer the brass box. It's a small detail but we all know that's where the devil resides.

The Model A I bought back in around 2004 had a plastic zipper box also. That disappointed me.
