Am I nuts for loving this?

Bit hippy for my tastes, but I love the colour and the contrast stitching.

Thanks! Didn't know this site
Does Vanson also do all their other jackets?

Just a public service announcement. I've never been stung but I've heard of people waiting over 3 years for a jacket ordered through Logans Closet...if they ever arrive.

What I think happens is you order and pay in full. He then puts you on a list and as its a custom order, the jacket production doesn't start unto he orders like 10 or more, his communication through the process is non-existent as well from what I've heard. So you have to hope there are 9 other people willing to do the same at the same time or you just sit and wait....and wait....

There are a heap of threads over on moviejackets.com of people that wait ridiculously long times, some I believe are still waiting and only ever get second hand dribs of info from one of his friends.

I'd never order through him.

Thanks for sharing this, I wouldn't be happy at all if that were to happen to me

Yes, Protein just literally spelled out what I wanted to add. I believe it is a combination of the owner doing it as part time job as well as Vanson putting his orders at the lowest priority. I consider myself fortunate as I got one of his earliest House jackets, it took me something like 9 months. One possibility is that he has to accumulate certain number of orders before he submits them to Vanson for production, and as we know, can be very random. On the other hand, the jackets are of the usual top Vanson quality. To answer your last question, Vanson do not sell Logan's designs directly, but you can still try your luck if you seriously want one.

HighLarge are a Japanese company that specialise in making very nice leather versions of all the iconic Denim jacket designs.

Here's their take on a 50's Wrangler zipped jacket - in Red hide!

Just wonder where we can order HighLarge jackets from outside of Japan? I seriously do not want to go through all those proxies or Rakuten systems. I really like their un-dyed leathers.

I would buy two of these and frame one.

I... want too many jackets :D
As you say I could try directly with Vanson, or find some maker who could make a similar version.

Speaking of wanting many jackets, I need to check out these guys!
With the variety of styles, leathers and colours available, there really is something for everyone of us, and if you like variety...

S**t, man... Looking at those Japanese sites is sometimes really suicidal. I'm after a nice trucker jacket and these pop up and I want one but can neither decide which nor can afford it, which might seem like a slightly bigger problem but it really isn't. Problem would be solved if I could buy an entire range but having just one complicates things even further. Oh well. What Nick says, next life.
