Jason Y,
I can’t imagine a better fit. Does it wear as good as it looks?
Do you have any suggestions for getting the right fit?
I'm fortunate to live a reasonable drive from the Vanson showroom, so I got to try on pretty much everything I could find in my size. The Comet is known for being a very well thought out design and it wears really well. I'm probably sized up (42 v 40) for my measurements but I can get an extra layer under it for winter. The body has a nice taper to it which works well with my build. I think it fits tru to size for a somewhat athletic frame.

I don't understand scarves. They're so out of control I don't find them possible to wear.
Really? I love scarves. My favourites in winter are the thick merino scarves from Stetson.
But of course, preferences vary. And that's a good thing.
That's why I wear Buff neckwarmers.
I like those too. I have some from Buff, Odlo and Woolpower. Except for Odlo, they are all made of merino wool. But when in doubt, I prefer a scarf ;)

JasonY,
Many thanks! I am envious. There are few better ways of finding the right fit than actually trying a jacket on.
I’ve been considering a Vanson Comet, but have been cautious because of its sizing being so different from other Vanson jackets. Also, I am thinking I may miss hand-warmer pockets.

Cool to have a sport jacket in double zip! What is the make? Where did u find it?
The maker is Thedi Leather from Greece, and the model is called MTC-1279720.
I ordered the jacket directly from Thedi, but I asked for a shawl style collar instead of the standard shirt collar :)

I LOVE his use of double zips, makes me want to change all my jackets to have it :D

Cheers!


PS. the jacket you posted looks great mate! I really like that "newsboy jacket"- pockets and the character of the leather seems amazing :)

Disclaimer: Feels like 0F out, so I'm not really wearing this today. But I promised @Biff42 I'd try to get this recently acquired Bates up one day this week, and well, it's the end of the week:
View attachment 754354

Not a great shot, but I wanted to snap something quick while the wife and kids were busy wrapping presents. And I'm also wearing a sweatshirt underneath which I definitely wouldn't do with this jacket. But baby it's cold outside.

Damn! Very very cool!
