Me neither. I have a Comet PLU-3 in the older comp weight, size 40. It's a stunner. Going to go home and do some measuring tonight to see how this one stacks up. If it seems like this coat gives a little more wiggle room than the Comet I might pull the trigger. It's a screamin' deal.

OP...can you comment on on how this hide compares to Vanson comp weight in terms of wearability, thickness etc?

Either can I! Its an amazing Vanson. And a really nice batch of Z150 which has a bit more sheen / wax to it than comp. IMO closest vanson leather to CXL. The pit might be deceivingly small but the way the action back gussets are designed, it allows a lot more room than most similar styles.

Very wearable leather, flexible but still substantial. Feels quality. From a better batch of hides IMO and Ive handled quite a few ;)
