Yes, each member could choose a different leather and color...however, most people do like black with Vanson...

Here are some photos of some Comet PLU-2s we did in different blues a while back...vibrant!


Someone NEEDS to order the DR in this leather with silverzips

Since a lot of us are interested in the color/material options, as well as pricing could @Thurston Bros post the info here?

So we are going with a rider not a moto like the junya x vanson?

@LA Guy thanks for starting the thread


The rider posted is a Junya version. There was more support for it, and we need to do one at a time, or we'll never make the numbers.

It's up to what Style Forum members decide on...if the orders are there, we'll do it!

Where could I get info of the leathers Vanson uses?

Vanson's Comp. Weight Leather is what they're famous for...I've attached a photo of the Vanson Star Jacket below because it shows a number of different leather colors in Comp. Weight leather...



Vanson's Comp. Weight Octagon is very nice too...



and, again, the Comp. Weight Black is what they're famous for....




There is a lighter weight leather called Firenze, but it won't get the incredible patina that more expensive leathers do...

There is a veg.-tanned black option too...but we would need to okay that with Vanson. This would be quite expensive ($1000.00 + a jacket) option...

Pricing on Comp. Weight leather would be between $650 and $800, depending on how detailed the design was...

hypothetically this design posted in the original post

1254029

- non comp black chrome tanned horsehide ( I think someone said 2.5oz?)
- extra zipper on the same arm parallel to the existing one, or a zipper on the bicep of the same arm

how would that sound?

What's the expected weight of the leather? 3 oz.? Closer to 4? 2.5?

I would move the pocket, but an additional one seems too much.

They made it in red too iirc for certain retailers. Anyway, I'd be most interested in a lighter black.
