Re: Wolverine's Jackets
As per the fact that I live in Hawaii, I don't think that I'll be needing more than the jacket over my t-shirt. Seeing your jacket makes the wait even more unbearable! Good things come to those who wait, eh?
Before I forget - quick tip: these jackets are VERY TIGHT as they are a functional jacket, built to work as body armor for motorbike use and for that purpose, they can't be sliding around the body.
I am six foot one inch and measure exactly 41 inches around the chest and I do not have particularly broad shoulders. I got a size 42 regular and it fits like a glove. There is no room for a denim jacket underneath, only a shirt and a t-shirt. These things are windproof though, and unless you are going to the South Pole, you won't need more than 2 layers.
No fake weathering on my jacket too by the way, a touch of Pecards Gel on the amber stripes to waterproof them, and otherwise, just lots of wear and use

Having had 3 of these in and out of my possession, I can tell you that they are worth the wait. I still need to get one of the super accurate one's that we put together. Then I'll be satisfied.

I got one of Knightsaber's ex-jackets and it was totally awesome. I used it for a costume party then sold it to recoup expenses:rolleyes. Within a week the regret was so huge I ordered a new one.

So, I got my Vanson from Dan a few months ago. I opted for the brown/ red combination. Here are some pics.

Re: Wolverine's Jackets
Great post I am so glad I saw this thread, I was recently given this jacket...
It's a really nice comfortable fit, feels substantial and built to last.
Are these the X0 jackets?

Re: Wolverine's Jackets
Weathering suede is an artwork, too much and you may have bitten off more than you could chew, but you are right, John. I've weathered/distressed my X2 jacket by loading a horsehair shoe buffing brush with a little black Kiwi wax polish and buffing over the mustard colored stripes to give it that dirty aged look from the film. Loading a little bit at a time and working around the suede lightly, did the trick. I'm really happy with the results.
