Here are some pics of my US Wings goat s. XL (non-clearance) Indy jacket - wich I have been able to optain due to the helpfullness and generosity of a member here (don't worry, I haven't forgotten my part of the deal ). I have worn it for about four months and it is starting to wear in and wrinckle nicely. It is an extreamly soft and comfortable jacket - though a little too warm to wear in the summertime. I really like this jacket - especially the colour. The fit is great for a off-the-rack jacket. I'm glad I didn't buy a long. Front - open Front- closed Side Back Compared to the three Westeds I have seen (a cow and two lambs) I think this jacket holds it's own due to quality and craftsmanship. As to screen-accuracy it is actually much better than I had expected (though - as with all USW Indy jackets - some details are still quite off). I really like the slight scalloping of the pocket-flaps on my USW. The fedora is BTW my five months old, heavily worn, AB-dlx. /Jakob

I think the jacket looks great. It looks almost black in the photographs which I like. It reminds me of the Temple of Doom jacket. I think you got a great fit for an off the rack jacket. The hat looks great too!

I agree with Havana that the jacket looks great on you, Jeep! The color is very close to my Wested and even though it's the same hide as mine your's looks a little smoother. Congrats on getting a great looking Indy jacket.

Looks great, JEEP. I guess this one doesn't matter in terms of screen accuracy so much since it's a legitimate archaeologist's jacket. The look and color of that goat is great! Congrats on the jacket. If I remember correctly, you'd been debating on which jacket for a while. Really looks good and fits you well.

Thanks for the compliments Indeed I have given it quite some thought which jacket jo choose - and it seems I have choosen wisely ;D My next jacket will either be a USW A2 horse, a Wested Raiders jacket in authentic brown lamb or a Todd's jacket in cow. So many jackets - so little money..... Regards. Jakob

That is a fine jacket, JEEP. I always thought USWings made a great goatskin Indy. 'Blues

Congrats on the jacket Jeep! That is one dark color, and it even works well with the tie too! Ken

Lookin' sharp there, JEEP! The ABD and USW go very well together, I especially love the color of the leather, that extra-deep, dark brown really looks incredible. Very nice!
