Maybe but you were the first to name the two I brought to the table!

Still waiting to see that Cal make its appearance here. I’d love to see a fit pic.

Go Sheepskin!
Yes, it close to 5oz, might be my heaviest jacket to date, we'll find out soon enough :)



Yeah, smaller and shorter mainly, with a collar this time :D



All good things come together it seems!
I knew I saw that somewhere before. So the Burgundy one was also yours. Very nice! The beaded collar is the better fit for riding, and the added fur makes it just as good off the bike. Excellent choice!

Bitter Sweet Congratulations! I wanted that jacket. My efforts to raise the funds did not work. The price was very reasonable for this custom jacket. I was so impressed I thought; If I had this jacket I would be most satisfied and retire from buying!

This style has eluded me as a keeper. I've owned a Himel Heron and a BK Cossack and let them fly. Vintage in this style and size are impossible to find. I believe this is Himel's finest jacket and as good as it gets in this style.

The wild blanket lining, hair on the collar, just perfect.

At least I know where it is.:)

Consider me officially knocked out! All I can do is stare and mumble . . . I pity myself that I can't behold you wearing this work of art in person. There are a great many jackets featured on this forum that I love, but very few that have amazed me in style and execution. This is one of those very rare few.

How is that one breaking in? Ive got their Trojan-inspired one in burgundy and black CXL, if you recall.

I haven't worn it much since I lost weight, it is a bit too big, Alan told me they can bring it in, so I will take it to the shop when I get the chance to swing by :)

Your black and burgundy one is very cool!

Noted, I will bring this jacket when I make it to Sydney, hopefully soon enough :D

I just hit BIN on this weird Vanson, it was on Buyee, described as a Chopper/CHP mix from the 80s/90s.
I have never seen one like that before, i find it pretty weird and confusing...
It's a cross zip, but with barely any lapel overlap, almost like the Schott Cafecto, but with even shorter lapels.
Weirdly they left the four chest snaps for the lapels/collar as if it was a regular CHP.
There is also a snap on the inside, back of th eneck, wonder if it has a fur collar at some point or if it is a snap for a liner.
The sleeve zippers are also a style i don't remember seeing on a Vanson before.
Leather looks really nice, can't wait to see it for real.

Doesn any one know what this is? @JMax , @ton312 have you seen something similar before?
