What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[ABCD]

Are they easy to wear? It feels like they might be quite a statement boot in a European environment.

I own four pairs of cowboy boots and I wear them quite often, I even wear them with my tuxedo . I really don't care about how other people feel about them. If I'd have to conform to what other people are wearing I'd have to wear trainers, sweat pants and hoodies, no thank you.

Thank you,I bought it new in 2012,it's easily the best competition weight I've ever handled, also far better than any of the horween horse or steer,and I've owned a lot,moved them all on,can't go the topcoat wearing if you look at it the wrong way,

Did it start out smooth with very little grain showing? That's just incredible looking. I'm trying to learn to calibrate my eye to tell which Vanson hides will end up looking like this. Just stunning!! If I ever stumbled across one of those in a 42, I'd be hard pressed not to buy it immediately.

Wondering if it is the same hide as my CHP, is it a 'super' black?
What is the code for that year please Peter?

Agreed.
These Boulets get the nod for weddings, funerals and everything in between.

I agree with you. Today’s problem is certainly not people who are thoughtful about how they dress in public.

I wear my cowboy boots on Fridays, with a suit and tie.
I don’t believe in “casual” Fridays when for most coworkers it’s casual 24/7, but I do believe in having some fun with what you wear.

I know this is an older post, but how old is that Enfield? The leather on it looks nice! My next dream jacket.

I'm afraid I don't know as I got it preloved two years ago from another member.
It is horsehide however and from what I read it could mean late 90's early 00's but don't quote me on that.

That seems to make sense based on my limited exposure to this topic also. I think I've read that's about when Vanson stopped using horsehide. Can't remember where I read that, somewhere on this forum.

It’s single-digit temperature in Minnesota today, so I’m rocking the RMC N-1 deck jacket for a toasty experience in the crisp cold!

Why are you buckling your belt like that?

Why are you buckling your belt like that?

Haha you noticed. Simply out of convenience. The belt right now is too stiff to bend and then go through the buckle so I started skipping it until the leather softens enough it can bend fast enough for easy operation.

I’d like to know this too!
When did Vanson stop using horsehide for vintage MC jackets?
What label styles were used then?

Someone more knowledgeable than me could probably answer that, maybe @Monitor or @ton312.
