VLS BLK
BLACK COMPETITION WEIGHT
The first vest that Vanson ever made was a button-front Hippie-style vest - which turned out to be a great way to learn how not to build a vest.These early vests had lumps at the shoulders where the front and back were joined together, and the linings and grommets looked as though the primary production tool was an Uzi. But this is how we all learn, by doing, and by realizing that there is a lot more to a "simple" vest than meets the eye.
Another enduring Vanson classic our good-looking, beautifully-made Snap-Front Vest features two front pockets and lace-up sides for an adjustable fit. The VLS is meticulously hand-crafted with a man's formal dress construction in the way the backs and fronts are joined at the shoulder. Look closely and you'll see that all the connection points are perfectly joined and top-stitched, open and flat for a low bulk, smooth fit over the shoulders. You'll also see how the sides are turned and faced evenly so the lining is smoothly set into the vest and the brass side-lacing grommets are neatly set away from the lining in two reinforced layers of leather. Rawhide laces give a cowboy flair and enable a perfectly snug fit. The two single-welted front pockets show the classic heritage of this vest. Available in either competition-weight cowhide or medium-weight Firenze leather. This is a dress vest gone riding and can be worn anywhere.

Your jackets are not only great protection, but they are the most functional motorcycle jackets I have owned (and I've owned a few). I must say that I am now thoroughly convinced of the quality of your products.
This past year has made me more than a lifetime owner/ advertiser of Vanson products. I had 2 wrecks...The jacket and pants still look brand new except for a "little character".
I've had these leathers for a good ten years now! I wear them almost every weekend, rain or shine, and there still good as new (that’s a lot of weekends).
