This Vanson arrived today and I’m mighty pleased with it. I’m not too familiar with the Vanson cafe racer models but I think this is a model B? It’s made from the good old competition weight though, that I do know!
First jacket I’ve had in size 42 that actually fits me well.
can’t beat that diamond/stripe combo
Thought I was looking at a bates for a second

Looks like you had the red pen ready to go in the first pic, which makes me think you just drew the 14.

All jokes though, looks good
The file size sometimes does not let me upload pictures so I found a work around a do a screen shot and it works the 14 is to match the racing number on my car and thanks man

So this has landed on my doorstep just minutes ago.

RMC J-24, bought off the lounge. I have had that one on my radar for years now, but wasn´t at all willing to spend anywhere near what RMC is billing for a new one now (EUR 3.300 or USD 3.800).
I have spend some time discussing this jacket with owners, so I kind of knew (was able to make an educated guess) what to expect (thanks to @Canuck Panda, sadly MIA, for all the intel on size/fit and to @Kenan for a first hand look at his spectactular two-tone version).

This jacket is in like new condition, not even broken in. Condition is flawless and so is the craftmanship. The main zipper, fiddly as it may seem, runs like a dream, and thus works much better than expected after all the horror-stories in these parts.

Fit is surprisingly generous. I consider myself a 44 in all RMC jackets, but this clearly fits on the roomy side. It still works for me, especially when the times comes for the layering game.

That's amazing Tom! the fit seems spot on and from what I've read here on the Lounge the quality of the RMC stuff seems top tier :) very nice!
