The factory is on Broadway in Fall River, MA. \\; I drive by it to and from work every day. \\; I believe they a have a store where you can get fitted and buy direct.
I've been collecting Vanson jackets over the years. \\; I think I have 7 of them now and one for my girlfriend. \\; I bought each one of them, second hand, on Ebay. \\; If you are patient, just about every model eventually comes available there. \\; I've even bought 2 horsehide models on there. \\; I wouldn't think twice about buying them second hand either. \\; If you know the product, you know they last for generations. \\; Hell, I have a 10 year old Comet that is barely broken in and I wear it all the time. \\; Yu can also try Motorcycle Leather Exchange. \\; They carry mostly the sportbike models, but do carry a pre-owned inventory.
I bought several vanson jackets online from NewEnough and they used to have a lot of Vanson stuff they bought on store closings etc, but I have not seen Vanson stuff offered for some months now. \\; They are a great bike product vendor for many other things as well. \\; I would call them and if they no longer deal in for some reason, they will probably refer you somewhere. \\; I think if I put website address here it will get edited out by admr so hint is that company name plus usual ending is the address. \\; Good luck, Vanson is awesome.

PSI have Vanson perforated Mark some# I cannot remember and it is very awesome heavy leather but so many holes that I can even wear it through humid Virginia summers. \\; I wear a windproof backpacking pullover under it in chilly weather that is less bulky than stock liner.
