Same jacket (well, my only jacket). Starting to break in and feel more comfortable. The boots are new, and are a pretty rough break in (doesn't help that I lost my toenails skiing this year).

@Marc mndt & @Newc, really awesome fitting gear and even cooler styling. Simply great.

That trucker! You should post pics of this more often. I need to see it at least once a week I think.

Always dig your style but this just might be my favorite yet. I wish I had a tenth of your artistic design ability. I can only imagine that it's even more satisfying for you to see your vision come together and to be able to wear a truly one off.

Didn't really wear today but wanted to take advantage of the sun shining as permacloud returns tomorrow:

The Bates pull is the only ID I can find, but that's definitely not conclusive evidence. I don't know enough to say for sure one way or the other. Regardless, another heavy, but supple and easy wearing 5+ lb hide.

I have some more detail photos but not sure where to post. If it is a Bates there doesn't appear to be a dedicated thread for the brand.

Pretty happy this week.

Haha, thanks! Not really in a position for a lot of the big ***s seen here such as LW (could, but wouldn't be the best decision). Fortunately with a smaller frame the used vintage market is where I tend to focus. Build quality isn't the same but with some patience I've managed to find some gems that punch above their weight.

I actually broke one of my rules in that the seller's photos were ****, but I could see the Bates pull so I went ahead and BIN'd it. Main reason being the price was ridiculously low, so minimal risk with huge upside. Probably my best value eBay find ever.

Cleaning up my old posts where I incorrectly identified this jacket as a Bates. Thanks to the keen eyes of members more knowledgeable than I this has been determined to be a Vanson.
