    Brand new Vanson *Bones* leather jacket

    Brand new, never worn Vanson race quality jacket. Owes me over $1000.00...but it's too small for me. I read Vansons sizing chart incorrectly... like a homo. It's a size 36. You can still buy them from Vanson @ $849.00 US $'s...but they'll be white bones not yellow like this one. I've never in my time seen another. It is without doubt THE best quality *off the rack* jacket I've seen in my 25 years in the industry. I will be ordering another....I'll just get the sizing right next time. Duh Peter.

    36 is tiny. I want it if I fit it. I usually take a sz 38 suit coat. How about I front you the five hundy, plus shipping. If it doesnt fit you refund me and I ship it back?

    That's more than fair...and I'd happily do that if I didn't have it listed on TM as well. Will certainly do so when the listing expires if you still want to. If it was a certain sale..I'd do it and just pull the listing. Hope that makes sense!

    fair enough. I just looked at the quite confusing it has to be said Vanson size chart and if I am a 32W then it only works if the jacket has an adjustable waistband. Does it?

    Having met you I would have put you at a 42-44 inch jacket size.

    Yeah I'll take full responsibility for being a total mongol...but yeah...it's a lil ambiguous to say the least I reckon.


    I'm 5'10 and 85 kg's...31" waist. 42" would seem right for me I think...

    Could you please provide the measurement from armpit to armpit with the jacket laid flat and zipped up?

    I have a size 34 Vanson that's just about perfect, would be curious to see how the 36 compares, can't be much bigger. The Vanson size chart is an absolute shitfight.

    18 x 25.4 = 457.2.

    My Dainese is 550 measured across the body at the base of the armpits. Its a little big but not huge on me.

    Too small for me, but thanks for the "tip"

    Damn nice gear indeed. Just getting my head around the sizing, but I'm sure there'll be a new Vanson heading my way soon.
