Designed by Epaulet and produced by Vanson, the "Lenny" jacket is a collaborative piece that's exclusively available through this online shop and our two NYC Epaulet storefronts. Vanson Leathers is America’s largest manufacturer of leather motorcycle jackets and motorcycle riding apparel for men and women. Headquartered in Massachusetts, they've been making some of the finest motorcycle gear in the world for over 30 years.
The concept was to create the "a seriously bad ass varsity jacket." We started with the same heavyweight waxed canvas that we used for our popular Vanson for Epaulet "Triton" jackets. We bonded ivory leather sleeves to this black canvas for an awesome contrast. And this isn't any old leather. This top-grain cowhide is stiff, thick, and tough as hell. It's the same leather used in Vanson's sportbike jackets, and it feels awesome on your arms.
The body is completely blacked out, with black snap closures and absolutely no branding or logos. The 100% cotton liner is a classic Royal Stewart tartan. The body has two leather-trimmed welt pockets and the interior has two button-closure pockets. The neck has a thick leather liner and a classic buckle and strap tab closure. The jacket closes with a heavy-gauge brass zipper. Elastic ribbing finishes off the cuffs and bottom.
From the first second that you put this jacket on, you'll feel the quality of its components and manufacturing. The heavyweight waxwear fabric has a solid heft and a great waxy drape. The leather is ridiculously thick and substantial. The whole piece is effectively weatherproof. The snaps and zippers are substantial and work smoothly. Vanson is respected worldwide for the strength of their jackets and this one is no exception. You'll appreciate it more year after year as it ages and gains more character.
This piece - and most of Vanson's textile range - is produced in Miramar, El Salvador. Their modern, climate-controlled facility is wholly owned and run on-site by Vanson. For anyone familiar with their leather goods produced in Fall River, Massachusetts, you can expect the same standards of quality and craftsmanship.
Measurements
Note: All measurements are shown in inches. "Sleeves from Back" is measured from the center of the upper back. "Length" is measured from the base of the collar (where it attaches to the shirt) to the bottom of the tail.
Pictured Fit
Model (6'1", 180lb) wears size Medium. Compared to Epaulet shirts, this one approximately a size larger. However, in the model's own words, "the Medium is a great fit over a shirt or a polo. The Large isn't oversized on me, and I'd buy it to wear with a sweater underneath." If you're looking for a very trim fit, then size down one from our Epaulet shirt size. For a slightly roomier fit that allows for layering, then get the same size as your Epaulet shirt.
The Vanson Philosophy: No Compromises
The quest for excellence and perfection never ends. We continue to create a new standard with every Vanson Product. Every Vanson product is as unique as your own bike. Our workers make sure that your jacket has the fit and the finish that will distinguish you from the crowd. Perhaps that is why you can spot a Vanson garment in a crowd of hundreds. And, we will continue to make the most innovative and unique products for years to come. Your investment in a genuine Vanson will make even more sense in 10 years: you'll still be wearing it!
That is what we call "heirloom quality" garments.That is the heart and soul of Vanson.
