    FS: Vanson Model B, dark brown, size 38/40

    Hi all, I'm mostly a lurker here and thought someone here may like this jacket before it goes up on ebay. This is a much loved Vanson Model B custom job without the side buckles or a zip in liner. It's the competition weight leather in dark brown (which I've hardly ever seen), brass hardware...

    I think that I read in a post from HD that the berry tartan lining was quite a bit thinner than the cotton drill.

    Captain America 40s halfbelt

    I've seen the other marbled octagon in person and was not a fan . This color is much more subtle - looks great. Is the m19 some sort of naked finish as well?

    Captain America 40s halfbelt

    The dark brown is great - very dark chocolate brown- theman custom ordered me a model B in this color from Vanson - quite a durable finish. The finish on the captain A jacket looks more translucent like it shows more of the leather texture - what is the color called? love to see more pics of...

    I assume that that 'turnings' have something to do with how the leather is folded at the seams - just the word that Amanda used to describe how they can get between sizes.

    When I emailed Amanda, that was how she suggested that I could get to a 39, a size 38 with smaller turnings. By the way, seeing that yours is tight at the waist - what is your waist size Griff?

    My understanding is that the 2 panel arms fit a bit slimmer than the 3 panel configuration

    Nice jon! First photo I've seen of the CR with collar - looks really good. These photos help a bunch to judge sizing and have sold me on the fqhh. Is this jacket standard body and arm length?

    help with Aero cafe racer order

    If you've got only a half inch of slack with a 30'' waist , I think that I haven't got a chance to fit a size 38. Sounds like a 40 for me and perhaps ask for 'tighter turnings' as some folks have mentioned they've done to get closer to a 39

    tthanks for the input Jon - very helpful. If you have any pics, please post! pics of the plain back aero CR are hard to come by..One question, how tight is your CR on the hips? I have a 33'' waist and and given advice from GriffdelaGriff, the waist measurement may be the deciding factor for...

    on the contrary windward, I believe you've made the choice more difficult - both of those are fantastic looking jackets.

    I've seen eClairvaux's jacket that coloradorider links to above - that is pretty much the fit that I'm after. I've also seen that the aero CR has is a bit large in the back and wondering whether that provides enough room to reach forward without the bi-swing back. I'm now fascinated with the...
