Amazing riding jacket made out of the old famous comp weight, serial# starts with 6. No damage or funky smells, non smoker, all zip works but main zip male pin needs to be inserted carefully. Looks like prior owner reinforced with some contact cement. Ive ridden in 1+ season and it hasn't gotten worse. $350 shipped in CONUS w PayPal FF option.

Pit- 21.5"
Shoulder - 19"
Back - 24"
Sleeve - 25"

I’d be all over this if it were a 42”. Probably one of the only Vanson cross zips I haven’t tried. Love the back!

Among top 5 of my favorite styles by Vanson. Really nice jacket.
Ha, I am floored here in Spring of 2026!! Recently found one off facebook marketplace and love it. Unfortunately the main zip's teeth like to fall away from the zip's tape. I'm thinking sending it to vanson for $100 ish? I'll make some photos; but with those Maritime Zips made from something like plastic, none of this would happen had it been a typical metal zipper. I also notice this size 40 jacket's sleeves are a tad short for my monkey arms despite the measurement 25 inch sleeves - listed in this old ad. So I may get the leather and inside jacket wet with some distilled water and a little obenauf's temporary emulsion and wear it with some light arm stretching action until it dries on my body.

Hope you're well and always love reading your comments.
