    Natal Leather

    I appreciate the insight. Since the Natal/Natel connection seems to be a given, this may be a case of my subconscious wanting to find a way to connect all these brands together. It's just surprising to me that there isn't some variation between them: different hardware, different lining...

    Natal Leather

    Granted this thread is almost 9 years old but I think Monitor made mention of Arizona a while back. Another example of one - And a few more ACPs, just to drive the point home: With the exception of the collar, these 2 are identical design:

    Natal Leather

    Alright, am I crazy or am I really seeing 7 different possible candidates for Natal clones? Natel Walter Dyer Kerr US Made Arizona Art's Cow Parts MC Leathers I'm on the fence about US Made. But the one Guppy posted sure does look like a clone. Each one appears to have used...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Vanson Breeze custom order Approx size 42 (or maybe a large size 40) $450 I thought I'd post this since I put a great deal of effort into getting this jacket made. And the description is a bit confusing. This was the second attempt for a custom order I submitted. I sent it back for a remake...

    Vanson custom jackets

    Hard to say. The Thunderbird is usually rather short in body length by design. It may be a reason why it looks a little odd on the Vanson model but I'm just guessing. I posted pics of the fit jacket they sent me last year when I placed my order in this thread - Vanson Thunderbird The fit...

    Newer stock photo (no model) shows the zipper along the rear sleeve seam. Older stock photo (model) shows the zipper on top of the sleeve.

    FYI, I inquired about that Elk last month. Debs reply: The Nordic elk in black is now out of stock and will not be replaced, we have the brown left in stock right now and are in the process of ordering Deer skin to replace the Elk both in black and brown.

    By request, a comparison of the blues. Note that the swatch samples are outdated. Some have been discontinued. Others have been replaced. The Navy Blue swatch is not like the Navy Blue jacket. The older Navy Blue is a bit stiffer. The newer Navy Blue has a tinge more purple in the color.

    Vanson custom jackets

    There is no such thing as a small change with Vanson. ANY change requires a 15% upcharge even if you are actually omitting details. Their company. Their rules. However, that 15% fee allows you to pick from any of THEIR leathers at no additional cost. I don't think the Bainbridge leathers that...

    Vanson custom jackets

    Agreed. Like I said before, I won't defend crappy customer service. My apologies if I came across doing just that, but maybe I just can't relate. I could wait an extra 2 months if they, say, forgot to enter my order in the queue. I could let something like that slide. But they never blew me off...

    Vanson custom jackets

    So, you may have noticed a commonality among my jackets. I like pockets. A standard Comet has two. Mine has six. The hidden hand pockets were a brilliant way of having hand pockets without altering the vibe of the jacket. The interior pockets, however, required adding leather facings to...

    Vanson custom jackets

    Thank you all for the kind words. But I really wanted to brag on Vanson. There isn't anything I could say that hasn't already been said about their ability to make a kickass jacket. Their skill is strong. But it's nice to have a visual reminder every now and then. However, I don't want to come...

    Vanson custom jackets

    Custom Mercury from 2017: This one ain't much of a looker. But I include it because it was the first one I ordered and has since turned into my Rosetta Stone in dealing with Vanson. Something so simple turned into a giant hassle. It had to be remade. Then the remake had to be repaired...

    Vanson custom jackets

    Thunderbird: Comp Weight leather. Chopper style collar. Peacoat style hand pockets. Everything else omitted. This one showed up just after Christmas but was sent back to be remade. (My choice.) They pretty much nailed what I asked for but the leather was so insanely stiff, it left bruises...

    Vanson custom jackets

    2021 Enfield Z150: Z150 leather. Oxford style collar and chest pocket. Snap cuffs. Leather lined hand pockets. No wind flap. Black hardware. The front is an inch longer than standard but all the other measurements are spot on for that size. I supplied the interior body lining fabric. A...
