What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[handymike]

What mods?

I'm asking Vanson to swap the collar for a different shape, remove the windflap, and run a line of stitching around the end of the sleeves. They said no problem if they can find a close enough color match.

Oh cool. I wondered about the end of sleeve stitching. Nice to hear they will do that!

We have not seen you in this Jacket for quite a while.
Great that you still own and wear it! Awesome Jacket!
If I would order a new Aero, it would be... - exactly like this one.

Cheers!

Sears Fieldmaster early 60s suede. Incredible like new condition. Too big for me at a size 48

Been wearing the BK Star sportswear A2 every day for the past 4 weeks since it arrived. The sleeves are really creasing up nicely !

New to me vintage Kehoe CR:

Oh wait...USPS decided to play an April Fool's Joke on me:

Because the mail always makes a second run before 8p. Never have had much success with stuff arriving on time when "moving within the USPS network" appears in the tracking history. Maybe tomorrow.

Aero 30s HB instead. Four months in and starting to crease up nicely in the sleeves:

handymike,
I think that is a great idea. The only thing I didn’t like about my Enfield was the round undersized collar. I have seen other Vanson jackets, such as the model F, which have a much nicer collar shape and size. I hope they find the leather to do this swap for you because I think it will make a great jacket even better.

Thanks @El Marro!
@ton312 has already armed me with the appropriate Vanson collar photo:

Without snaps of course

When pressed into lapel like that windflap looks the part.

 

[handymike]

Agreed, but mine stops 3/4 way up...needs to go!

I like my Enfield the way it was made. The wind flap works well for me when wearing it on the bike.
