The Vanson model F is a great design.

Thanks Mark! I'll check out the Vanson! So I'm guessing a can of worms is a bad thing...?

I'm saying that discussions on FCL jackets tend to escalate quickly here on TFL because people have strong but conflicting views on the brand.

They try different things. I appreciate that.

Some of the blatant robberies by FC of Vanson’s deigns have bothered me in the past. This particular jacket does not. I think this one looks OK minus the looped chain pocket pulls. Those pulls have no business on handwarmer pockets. Chest pocket only IMO. They just look weird but the rest of the jacket not too bad.

Ohhhh got it! I kinda like the way the go on their tangents. And its just hard to work out if they look good on a human.

Yeah I feel the same. I’d like to try one of their pieces but not if theres a big risk that it'll look off and I’ll never be able to move it if I don’t like it

Cheers! Good to know. And what do you think about the textured goat leather… is that good or bad?

I do like the my vanson model F. The leather used in my jacket reminds me of the CXL. Nice thick and grease. LOL. Vanson take on the jacket is excellent and will treat your wallet with dignity.

I’m not sure I understand. Goatskin is textured on its own. It’s one of the most textured surface, finished leathers you can use, so that term has me scratching my head. Far as goat goes, it looks just fine to me.

maybe using the word 'textured' next to 'goat skin' was a little redundant. Cheers!

Here’s a pic of my (former) model F. It’s a little more 70’s than the FC (not a bad thing by any means but different).

Yeah that’s really cool!!! I like the 70s twang!

At first glance, it doesn't look as bad as most Fine Creeks, but the tubular shape is really ill-proportioned. The goatskin looks beautiful though, so I'll give them that.

I'd rather get the real Vanson. It has a much more flattering line.

Cheers! Sounds like the Vanson is the winner.

I swear Fine Creek uses scaled up sausage casings to make the body patterns for their jackets.
