Getting Vintage White Label Vanson ENFIELD

[classicinjection]

God, this looks amazing. If I ever find something like that in a size 40, I'll jump at it..

If the leather isn't stiff nor feels dry, it's good.

Thanks I'll keep my eye out, this was a lucky Craigslist find.

I might have a trade for you. Vanson model A. It's a size 42" but fits more trim. Dark Brown.

That jacket is perfect [emoji108].

That's looking loads better.

Tony, sorry that nice Brown CR Model A doesn't fit you. I had a Size 42 Black Model A several years back and it was actually large on me, rather boxy of cut in fact. Off this one, well, isn't.

It's way too small! I'm actually shocked as Vanson is usually very consistent across the style type and tag size. It's a bummer. Super nice hide and color. It'll be for sale here and on the bay by the weekend. Sucks.
TBH I'm getting sick of trying with the CR's. I will say I'm in a larger than normal phase now but it seems like, over the years, I've never quite been able to get one that fits as well or as comfortably, as a cross zip. So...

Well I think once I get back home this Vanson and a Comet might get put up for sale or trade. To help fund a Vanson Dakota or Aero steer hide jacket in 44.

I’d be interested in the tan Enfield if you go that route.

I think this is actually a collared modelA no? Guess a shot of the back would be needed.
