Just picked up a Vanson Model B in 36. Measurements are: shoulder 16.5”, p2p 19.5”, sleeve 25”, length 23.75”. I wear a 38 Comet that fits snug like this 36 Model B.

I have a Oxford coming from Japan in 38 that was advertised with 36 measurements: shoulder 16.5”, p2p 19.9”, sleeve 24.4”, length 25.2”. Can’t wait for it to get here.

Here are pics of the Model B:

Really nice, so few decent fit pics of Vansons out there, make sure you post some when you get it.

I've been considering a black shearling coat as an alternative to my brown one, just not sure what design would go well.

I received the supposed “New with tags” Vanson Oxford 38 today.

Unfortunately, it ended up being a used jacket with a bad sleeve zipper and more wear on the sleeve ends than even my really beat up 36 Model B shown in a few posts up.

I’m in communication with the seller, but in the meantime, here’s how it fits because even though I am really disappointed, I still have to try it on, right?

Great fit. That's a keeper in my book.

Just got a used Fox Creek Leather jacket in 38, which looks like the smallest size they sell.

I have another FCL jacket and the fit is similar (huge). I put Forcefield CE Level 2 armor on the back, shoulder and elbows.

Here it is on me with armor and no liner.

Schott leather pants, because @torfjord make leather pants look so cool.
When they arrive i’ll probably wear them around the house and be too self conscious to wear them out. Maybe just start with wearing them on the bike and go from there

As soon as I am getting to my target weight, I am getting a pair! Preferably in red!

Oh, dude! Please post pictures when you get them. If you ride a bike you are perfectly safe wearing them. That’s normal. What me and @Monitor are doing is something else entirely lol

Got this one from FB Marketplace for a good price. Had to take a bus and a train to pick it up, but i think it was worth it!

Tried to make a zipper pull tab from a Badalassi Chestnut swatch I had from Aero, but it's looking horrid haha

Edit: I just can't see what type of leather this is... The previous owner said it is not Horsehide because it would be more expensive, but I think Horsehide is the cheaper on the line, so I can't say... Anyone knows how I can identify?

Edit 2: just read some stuff and found out that Horsehide is a fairly recent addition to LL lineup, so perhaps this one is steerhide.
