FS Vanson Enfield (2000 model) sz 40

More of a placeholder for future reference. Every once in a while someone pings me about it and rather than rehash all the details, photos and all that.

Not eager to sell, but it hardly gets worn and has been relegated for future kid use for one of my sons. But that list is growing too. So would love to find this a good home that'll get some wears.

Made Oct 2000. Glorious old school comp weight. But is pretty broken in. It really came to life after a recent wash and conditioning. I'd equate it to lamb skin softness but with plenty of heft. Great arm creases and varying grain levels.

Male zipper pin lost the plastic guard but Cal Leathers shop secured it pretty good. Should be fine for years. Worst case, it's a standard size 10 so only one side needs to be replaced (about $50)

There's a few loose threads on the left arm pit/shoulder seam. Still very secure and Cal suggested not messing with it.

Other than that, classic black jacket in great shape.

Ptp 22
Shoulder 18
Sleeve 25
Back 24 (surprised by this because it still covers my belt, maybe front drop?)

$350 ppff conus shipping included

If I don't already have an Enfield, I would have grabbed this already.

seeing a pic of yours one day put me on the hunt to buy one. Took a while to find one of the older ones. It never really fit me how I like though. I get pretty picky about these things. And then after I picked up a Thedi that has a similar pattern, there's just no way this is going to get enough wears. That's my new mantra, to wear these jackets at least a couple dozen times a years, so trying to narrow down the selection. Anyway, hopefully someone out there is looking for a killer, basic black jacket with amazing leather. Nothing flashy about it, but comfortable, built like a tank, leather that will showcase with more wears, etc. etc.

GLWTS.

Love my reddish brown horsehide Enfield.

It's a keeper!

Those are spectacular. I had a chance to win one on Buyee, but chickened out because I couldn't confirm the measurements. It looked gorgeous.
