    Vanson Model B Size 46

    Vanson Model B with zip-out liner, size 46. Amazing jacket that is very nicely broken in and has soft, supple leather. The only things that I could find worth mentioning are some scuffs/scratches on the buckles, and one flaw in the leather as shown in the photos. I am only selling this...

    Schott 654 - XL - Brown

    Updated price - $250 shipped. Would also entertain trades (I would really like to try something by IronHeart). After further inspection, it seems that the leather on the arms is not as soft as the rest of the jacket. I am not sure if this is from the factory, or due to wear/aging. I still...

    IRON HEART RIDER'S JACKET - SUPER BLACK size 42

    I don't like my jackets like second-skin or baggy. This would be intended as a warm-weather motorcycle jacket when my leathers are too much (Schott 141 and Vanson Model B), so would most likely be wearing a t-shirt, or possibly a light sweatshirt.

    IRON HEART RIDER'S JACKET - SUPER BLACK size 42

    How do these fit? My chest size is 44". Looks like I am on the edge of 42/44 according to the site. Been looking for something for riding in the warmer months.

    Vanson Model B Compared to Schott 141 (sizing and other observations)

    Actually, the Model B sleeves appear straighter to my eyes, while the Schott 141 sleeves appear more curved. The Model B sleeves definitely cinch down tighter. I can feel it in my wrists, and my MC gloves/gauntlets are easier to slide over the sleeves of the Vanson.

    Vanson Model B Compared to Schott 141 (sizing and other observations)

    Hmmm well this is certainly interesting. Schott 141 - 26" Vanson Model B - 26.5"

    Vanson Model B Compared to Schott 141 (sizing and other observations)

    Sure thing. Where would you like the measurement taken from? Where the sleeve attaches to the shoulder?

    Vanson Model B Compared to Schott 141 (sizing and other observations)

    I tried both on back-to-back, jacket zipped up half-way, sleeves zipped about half-way. The Vanson sleeves come down to right about my first thumb knuckle (where thumbs attach to my hand) with my arms relaxed at my sides. With my arms raised perpendicular to the ground (simulating riding...

    Schott 654 - XL - Brown

    Lovely Schott 654 size XL in brown. Outstanding jacket, but am looking for something more suited to riding the motorcycle. Excellent condition, still have the (detached) tags! For fit reference, my chest size is 43.5-44", I wear a size 44 Schott 141 and size 46 Vanson Model B. $350 shipped...

    Vanson Model B Compared to Schott 141 (sizing and other observations)

    After wearing the Vanson for a while, I switched back to the Schott 141, but cinched up the side buckles. It now fits a bit more like the Vanson, but does not quite have that tailored look and feel that the Model B has. Having said that, I enjoy both immensely :-)

    Lets see those Motorcycle Jackets!

    Recently picked up this Vanson Model B in competition cowhide, circa 1996. Broken in nicely and fits like a dream.

    Vanson Model B Compared to Schott 141 (sizing and other observations)

    Here are a few fit photos. I am neither a photographer nor a model :) I did cinch the buckles up as that seemed to fit the best.

    Vanson Model B Compared to Schott 141 (sizing and other observations)

    Hi everyone, first post here. I recently acquired a lovely Vanson Model B, and wanted to share my story, especially since it seems many people consider this jacket along with the Schott 141 and 641. TL;DR - Both are terrific jackets, but have different cuts/fit. Rewind several years, and I...
