This popped up on Ebay, anyone know the model? It looks like the Hardcore Highwayman’s dad, so it fought my attention.

VERY similar pocket set up, except this has a flap.

Different back and cuffs, but it also has the collar tab.

Anyone recognize it? Could it be an old police design?

That one looks great and a good price. You should make a run at it.

Arrow / TB Gambler / Raid
very similar design but very different tag size
the most recent one is Arrow I think and it fits smaller. Raid fits bigger from the last time I checked.

I picked up the last 42”. Feels wrong not to have a Vanson in my closet. I don’t see too many of these. Very simple design. Also has an @cbez approved one piece back. Ironically enough it’s the cheapest jacket in Vansons catalog. I’ll post pics here when it arrives.

Does Vanson ever use horsehide?

Not longer as a standard offering (I believe their horsehide supplier was the same tannery that burned down) but special collaborations have featured it. For instance, Butterscotch in LA did a 2mm Horween horsehide jacket with them.

Did a forum member snag that Raider?

I watched it, but I couldn't justify it after haveing specifically been wanting a Hardcore, and having a custom padded fall in my lap.

Someone got a solid buy :cool: but it wasn’t me!
