I am got back into motorcycling after a 14 year break and having read the article on jackets on "Motorcycle Classics", thought I'd take a trip down the road to Vanson and take a look, maybe buy an off the shelf jacket. I was there for about 2 hours, tried on jackets, had a tour, the staff were exceptional, the products are fantastic and I came away with a really nice new jacket that fits very well, a pair of really comfy gloves and a T shirt. Yes, they are not the cheapest and YES, you get what you pay for. I was delighted with everything, really met very nice staff and even though my jacket is more expensive than a larger companies like Alpinestars or Icon, I met the people that made my jacket. You cannot do that with mail order. I'm from Massachusetts and always try to buy local and am so pleased I did.
