# Rare Vintage Vanson Leathers Motorcycle Jacket - Size 54 First-Generation \"Boston, Mass\" Era (Circa 1974–1984) Handmade in the USA
Up for sale is an incredibly rare, heavy-duty vintage Vanson Leathers motorcycle jacket. This is a true holy grail piece for collectors and riders alike. It features the highly coveted original woven \"Boston, Mass\" heritage label, dating this piece directly to Vanson\'s elite earliest decade of production before they relocated their workshop. Finding an early Boston-era Vanson in a Size 54 is exceptionally rare as most vintage motorcycle gear from this era was cut very small. ### Key Features **Pre-Serial Pedigree:** Because this jacket was handcrafted prior to Vanson establishing their unit serial number tracking system in 1984/1985, it is a certified first-generation early production piece. **Premium Construction:** Crafted from Vanson’s legendary competition-weight cowhide. It is thick, robust, and offers unparalleled protection and weight. **Classic Styling:** Features a clean shirt-style collar, heavy-duty brass zippers, horizontal zippered chest pockets, and two handwarmer slots. All hardware is original and robust.
### Condition:Excellent vintage, pre-owned condition. The leather has a beautiful natural patina and is perfectly broken-in, saving you years of stiffness. The interior lining is completely intact and clean. Zippers pull smoothly and the teeth are secure. A lifetime jacket that is ready to ride.
