vanson model a vs vanson model b

[joshnd1978]

i'm still new to collecting leather jackets and i know many on here have a lot of experience with vanson. i was debating between model a and model b. model a looks like it gets longer towards the back and it doesn't have any buckles. any other differences? you guys have any preferences between the two? any help/advice would be much appreciated...

Model B was an awesome jacket, I briefly had one but I'm 5'9 with a 48-49 inch chest, unfortunately for me to get a Vanson that fits the chest it's insanely long in the arms, and too roomy in the gut, I had to sell it. Not sure how they are now with production outside the US but I had a Made in USA model and it was one well put together jacket.
