We had been building our famous STAR jacket for a few years, but found that the fit of a real flat track race-suit top was too confining for some people. Truth is, unless you're a flat track racer, you wouldn't understand the fit-following-function aspects that resulted in a beautiful jacket that was admittedly a little limiting for day-to-day use.

For us, it was a request/challenge/solution scenario. So we married the Star to the B - added the flair of flat track race-suit-style armbands to the sleeves and the signature inlay bib to the front. The result was a Vanson jacket with a custom racing suit look. Then we added actual competition-style inside patches to the elbows and sleeve caps and made it so the RJ, RJV, and RJP will accept the Vanson Streamliner snap-in vest as well.

lasts a long time. We repair and maintain garments
over 30 years of age regularly. It is as simple as that.

Black Red and White are traditional American racing
colors. White is used to accent the details.
