Vanek Leather Clothing

Some nice finds there. Unfortunately searching for Vanek brings back a lot of ice hockey related stuff .

 

I wrote to Vanek on Facebook. Apparently it was read, but unfortunately I didn't get an answer. Well, maybe it will come after all

 

Someone der Deutsch spricht please phone Engelbert to advise he cancel all vacations for 2021, hire a new apprentice, and prepare for an avalanche of custom orders from TFL...

 

Thanks for the information guys. Never heard of this outfit before. Fine looking work. However the idea of leather pants makes my nethers itch. Too hot down there for leather...

Worf

 

Engelbert next week: "Warum bekomme ich plötzlich all diese Sonderanfertigungen aus Chicago?..."

 

Btw. your German is impressive....or Google translator is impressive

 

LOL. Just had my Babel Fish tuned up

 

Daylight pics of my Engelbert Vanek. I really like this jacket and especially the graining!

 

^^ That is stunning!

 

Looks as good as anything I've seen here.

 

Here we go, some quick pics. I am heavier than usual by 3kg because of what I like to call "overeating season" lol







I haven't had the time to look at it in details, but first impressions are good!

 

Ostrich collar? Fancy.

 

Cool!!! Just like mine!

 

No, although I like that idea! I will take closer pics, these are some sort of inserts.

That being said, I have had in mind to make an ostrich jacket for a long time, not sure about the design yet

 

These inserts are for cop's patches/insignia.

 

I was wondering, thanks!

 

I wish I knew what branch of law enforcement was this particular model of jacket used for. Austrian cops wear black. This is something else, tho I don't know what. I know that your jacket came with the pants I posted earlier on but that's about it. Could be military police, maybe? Border patrol?

 

This site seems to feel it's Austrian Air Force:

In fact one of the pictures on that site shoes the badges attached.

 

They have size 42's but note it's 90 pounds to ship it to USA.
So total around $210 for this one...if it were black I'd be on it...
