Vanson 'City' Leather Jacket - Bikers Candy /  by Bartosz Gajec

My adventure with Vanson started 2 years ago when for the first time I saw the real jacket on someone else. I was amazed by the cut, style and quality of the leather. I asked the owner about the brand and started researching. It was not until now when I was able to source 2 Vanson jackets. One wax cotton biker jacket already reviewed (LINK HERE) and this fabulous leather biker ‘City’ leather jacket.

I am in now in direct contact with Vanson to acquire their latest and (in my opinion) the most beautiful biker leather jacket - model ‘Chopper’ and I hope to have a review of it very soon. So please stay tuned.

'City' Jacket: slim fitted, extremely stylish while waxed competition weight leather keeps you safe on the bike with cool details like pocket on one sleeve or vent zips on both sides of the jacket.

I've never had such a great quality leather biker jacket before with such an amazing attention to the smallest details.

Company info:

Vanson can claim to be the most handmade brand still in popular circulation but almost totally unrepresented in the UK and Europe which I hope it will change soon. Drum dyed the traditional way and hand cut, Vanson also boasts a unique oiling and finishing process that give it that unique shiney and hard finish. Contrary to popular myth this is not horse hide but extremely top quality Brazilian, American and Argentinian leather - which is becoming more difficult to source by the day - and is one of the reasons why Vanson special order jackets take so long to source.

Coolest Open Helmets Available - Davida 91 & Bell Custom 500 /  by Bartosz Gajec

BELL CUSTOM 500 HELMET

Bell 500 Custom is an affordable great looking helmet! It is light, high quality built with small minimal shell which is now certified in EU!

It is based on original Bell 500 helmet designed in 50's but it is a little more sophisticated with chrome trim, black leather-like lining with contrasting red stitching.

Shown on photos in white with shaded bubble shield by Biltwell. This is my favourite helmet so far!

DAVIDA 91 HELMET

Davida '91' is a discontinued model, replaced by model '92', both are the smallest EU certified shells. Hand made in UK with great attention to detail. 91 comes with a leather goggle strap but no shield poppers. Light with perfect fit, I tend to use this helmet with sunglasses on a sunny day.
