I think it's the predecessor, Model C. I picked it up used on eBay. The listing was pretty bare bones, the pics were terrible, but I could just barely make out the Talon main zip with a Bates pull on it. For $75 I decided to roll the dice. More knowledgeable members than I identified it as a Vanson after I posted pics once it was in hand.
The brass and black is indeed a nice touch. Adds a little more pop in my opinion as opposed to nickel (which I have on my Kehoe CR).

$75 holy sheeeeet. Wow. What a steal. yeah, I'm noticing a few differences in the C2, on the belt loops and what not. wow. That's killer.
I saw this https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vanson-44-...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649
not quite $75 LOL and doesn't look like it's brass, although that one photo kind of looks like maybe the main zipper is. I'll be on the hunt though.
Rainy day nylon Schott. Rest is always the same but this jacket is great for when it's raining. Warm, too. Basically a textile 689.
That's actually really cool. Do they still make this - couldn't find it on the website. Is it a solid nylon and lined?

No, they've sadly stopped making this one but I agree, it's a really cool jacket! I think it's from the 90's. According to Gail, they had one run of these and that was it. It's very well cut, short & shaped. What you can't see is that it's got shoulder gussets and sleeve zippers.
The jacket is the same material like used on the MA-1, only thicker and the lining is a padded regular quilt.
HD, is this a new one? I know you love your Thedis and rightly so, but: IMO this one is just the bee´s knees…!!
Last night I found this Ralph Lauren Purple Label shearling overcoat on one of the local online marketplaces. Turned out the seller lives in my hometown so I was able to pick it up today.
It has a little bit of a 70's pimp look to it, but that's cool

Excellent find, Marc! I have been toying with the idea of a vintage shearling goat for some time, but good ones are not easy to come by. They Need that "70´s pimp" look, otherwise it´s just an "elderly male with more money than hair" look.

LOL My gf thinks its too much pimp but I think as long as I don't wear a cane with it I might be able to pull it off.

That looks outstanding Jejupe!..
To me you look more like my 70s maths teacher with that coat and turtleneck, maybe that might soothe your gf a bit...

My new goatskin Trench by LW
So I understand this is Goatskin, but it's what - maybe 14 lbs of leather right there? That looks awesome and what a way to keep warm this winter. Great for windy, cold climates....
I already love this jacket.
Night paddling, 10 celsius water, 8 celsius air, cargo ship, high waves, too dark, wave overlooked, swam. Back on car, changed, jacket on and in the same second it got warm. After paddling beer with the buddies was very cozy.
