Just an FYI, I’ve emailed ID number requests and never gotten an answer but when I’ve called, I may get one immediately few minutes or I’ll get it in an hour later call back but so far I’ve never gotten one through an email alone

I've emailed and always gotten an answer. I might have had to double email once though, but I've always gotten a reply.

Just bought my first vanson (have had others but this is the first one I’m keeping, others never fit right).

Does anyone know what model this is? It came with armour but I took it out for casual wearing.

Also the leather is stunning. Is this the old comp weight? View attachment 798550 View attachment 798551
It looks like a variation of the Cobra I used to have, but the collar and patches are different. Nice jacket!

Yes you’re right, looks very similar. And thanks. I’m planning on posting a full wardrobe update, because my jacke recollection has changed a fair bit, and I’m quite keen to show others

Very quick email response from Vanson, here is what they said:

This item was madein 2010 for a dealer in London called Gorgeous Bikes.
IT is a slim fit coat designed by the owner of that shop.
The model name is MULE it is black cowhide.
Thats all I could find out.

Just picked up this rather out there custom job on eBay. Have certainly never seen a Vanson with cow print and I don't think I've seen one with fringes either.

The pics from the seller were a bit poor but I'm curious if anyone can discern what the base model for this jacket is? It looks like a CHP jacket based on the hem and laces but there's epaulettes and it's very unclear how the front riding flap is supposed to sit when it's unzipped, or even what it will be like when it's zipped up.
