Dude, seriously, this is the coolest jacket you've had in a while and I'm jealous. Can't believe I never got this one!

Perfect, what's the weight of the jacket?
Great fit. Yes you are right. You need to wet her jacket, put it on yourself and do a bench press with a barbell
Cool jacket. I bought one two years ago but had to return it to Vanson. Sizing just didn't work out but I do like that jacket and wish it fit. I bought a 40 and I think the 38 was too small going by their measurements and I am between sizing. Their sleeve lengths are always pretty long for me also.
On a side note, getting any kind of measurements out of Vanson was a very hard endeavour and was like pulling teeth. These companies really need to list measurements on their sites.
Vanson will make you a custom sized one as far as I know but I did not want to spend the extra cash or deal with the wait.
If you can, please pm me the measurements of your size 40. Maybe if it is on the smaller side it may work for me if you sell yours. Sleeves longer than 25.5" may be a problem for my stubby little arms.

50’s Perdecto by Schott, maybe the first double rider made under their own brand ( before, they were under Beck’s licence)
A rarity!

This is a great jacket, looks great on you. I've got one as well and love it. Its pretty neat you've got some fades started, I believe IH treats the denim on this jacket for fade resistance. The jacket is so cleanly put together, my only wish was that the pocket bags were sewn in completely so they functioned as interior pockets like they do in the truckers.

Looks OK as is. Is this over a tee/shirt rather than the quilted/filled from the first post?

Nice sashiko work, your own? Is the scarf Tootal?

I dug out an old wax jacket with similar fabric so you can see what it might look like with some wear.

It's schott 658
Thanks! It’s my own stitching. Second time I’m experimenting with sashiko repairs, and while it’s far from perfect I think it’s improving. The scarf is Tootal, bought from Aero a few years ago.

Thanks. Looks like they made these in 1992 or so, no longer in production. Nice jacket!

Dang, you outbid me in the last 5 seconds on that one! Well played sir! First dibs if you move it on! I wondered if it was someone from these parts.

This one is 6.6 lbs, but tough as cardboards with nails.
