Thanks! Maybe I'll wear the Lawrence tomorrow.

Very cool CR. Looks like a racer wore it too, based on the numbers on the back. I haven't heard of the Endura brand (or make?). What can you tell us about it?

I’ll get better pics in the light but man this Vanson is an absolute tank. Beautiful, thick and grainy comp weight cow. Easily one of the nicest Vanson I’ve owned. Feels brand new. Thanks @jpk_NJ and @JMax. I appreciate it!!

Thankya - unfortunately, there is next to zero information (that I can find) on the Endura brand. They were located in California (per the label) back in the 60's. I would best compare the brand to Lancer leathers, Brooks/Kehoe, and of course Bates - however the leather is not of the quality of a vintage Bates.

The one feature I really appreciate on this Endura is the snapless collar - very clean looking imo.

Possibly the best fitting of this jacket or any Vanson motorcycle jacket.

Thanks man. I tell you, if Vanson could source this hide regularly....I’d sell everything else and go full Vanson. No question about it.

Exactly how all 40 Vansons fit me! Figured Id go size 42 on the HC to account for thicker cold weather riding gear but even with just the rayon lining I stay pretty warm. Glad my hard work and miles on the Triumph broke this in for someone who will appreciate it and not just flip on eBay.

LOL. Nope selling days are done. Now I’m only interested in reclaiming my throne....long way to go.
