Vanson/Styleforum/Thurston Bros slim fit Japanese double rider MTO

What can we customize on each individual jacket? Is it just leather and lining that we can change?

If you order, just tell us what you'd like to change and we'll be able to tell you if that's possible. Most changes will only be a small upcharge to the base price.

That sample is the same leather that Junya used correct? IIRC someone mentioned that before... or was it the X150.

IIRC some of the early '07-ish junya's used comp weight, one of the early seasons used cdg supplied leather but yeah most of the junya's have used z150

@Thurston Bros so you plan on carrying this jacket regularly in the store right?

 

[LA Guy]

Midnight blue comp weight or midnight blue FQHH, blue floral lining. Bam, like that. This jacket should not fit any longer, guys. Trust me on this one. I think that you can order a long, but I would long order something longer if you are a really tall guy. If you are usually a regular, I would probably not recommend a much longer jacket. Because it is a DB, that will feel/look a long longer than say, a cafe racer.

@Thurston Bros , consider making the sleeve length about the same as you did for my cafe racer, with an allowance for the higher arm holes. I think that you still have that on file, but it might have been something like 26" on the M. I already have regular-longish arms for ma guy my height.

Awesome job. Oh, btw, are we going to have a custom patch? For tradition's sake, I can ask @Parker if he would be so good as ti help us with this.

Awesome gentlemen. You guys all rock.

Cheers,

Fok,

How dark is the midnight blue? Almost black? I've seen pictures of your navy and that was a bit light for my liking.

Like this?

The way we sized this, you'll be a Medium...we did it just like the Junya jackets that everyone likes so I don't know if we should change the fit a whole lot...did you like the look of the prototype? We were thinking of two changes--

1) increase length of sleeve gusset zippers by .25 inches

and

2) decrease sleeve length by 1-1.25 inches

The decreased sleeve length would have the size L at a sleeve length of 26.25 inches.

Pricing...we're able to offer these at $699.99 USD!

By this do you mean the pattern is identical to the Junya?

I hate comparing colors on the internet. Not only do different monitors have different colors settings, but the hardest thing to capture is color, My jacket is "waxy blue" and in dim lighting conditions, it is nearly black. However, on a sunny day, against snow, it will appear a lot lighter, a really dark navy with dark low tones.

I think that that's the best that I do by way of explanation. On the other hand, if you want something that is a more rich black, go with the comp weight leather, and beat it up to get rid of the new leather shine. Or maybe go with the upscale veg tanned black, though that will be less weather resistant.

I'm not a DR fan but I could be tempted here - midnight blue and blue lining. Is it possible to have those fit pics with a bit more showing of the collar area, plus pics of the jacket unzipped please? I had a pitiful time trying to make a schott perfecto work for me, it was a bit too Marlon Brando for me. This seems much more contemporary whilst also being classic, to a point.

Something is off on the fit to me, besides the obvious sleeve lengths. Maybe need to see it on a slimmer body or something, not totally sold yet. Upon further investigation it seems that there is a little bit too much leather on the back panel, maybe add taper. Arms are also a little baggy. Price is fantastic though...

This sums it up pretty nicely:

as someone who's owned the junya x vanson leathers, let me say that the junya leathers are cut waaaay tinier than the vanson leathers.

if you're going to add pockets to a stock vanson design, or even just slim the sleeves and body, you're really not going to get the desired effect.

the junya leathers had narrower lapels, tiny armholes, super narrow sleeves, short bodies; the design was not at all that of a that of a competition american moto jacket.

maybe some of you will be happy with this, maybe you won't.

the derby jacket above is really not similar to the junya jacket; the general style is the same, but the design is not.

 

[stevent]

Price is really good, how much extra for the FQHH?

 

[TheObserver]

Do you have measurements for off the rack jacket?

 

[bokhan]

Definitely agree that shorter sleeves and longer zippers would look good. The long sleeves are for riding, most of us aren't getting the jacket for that.

 

[bokhan]

How structured are the shoulders? After break in will they eventually lie flat?

 

[Luc-Emmanuel]

Looks good. Definitely need to shorten these sleeves though.
