U.S. Wings Rocks

[indyfan89]

This is my U.S. Wings Indy Jacket. Sorry if the pics are a little big my camera sucks.





This is by far the warmist and most cozy jacket i have ever worn. I feel like a turtle without it's shell when i'm not wearing it. I got the lambskin version and i love it. I recomend US Wings highly!

If you have Photoshop or any other picture editor, you can size the pics down. No wider than 600 pixels will fit in a thread with no problems.

Oh yea i forgot about that

Thanks RB, and i really apreciate how nice you fellow Indyfans have been to me and i thank you for the warm welcome to the Community.

I like alot of movies but my favirote is Raiders and i've been to alot of forums but they don't get no nicer than the guys and gals on a indiana jones forum.

I got the very same jacket and I've been wearing it everyday all winter so far.

Sometimes with a warm sweather underneath on the colder days !

If you're using Photobucket, you can resize the picture from there. That's usually what I do if I plan to post a pic, I just choose the resize option that says "message board" and it will automatically resize your pic to fit in threads better

Oh yeah, by the way, awesome jacket!!!

I've seen a lot of US Wings jackets over the years and they look like very nice jackets. I really like that vintage look your jacket has, very cool!!!

Great looking jacket, IF89! Are you going to beat it up a bit, distress it? Or are you going to let it happen naturally?

As much "bad press" as the US Wings has got from the fansites around here since I joined I haven't heard one owner of these jackets really complain about them.

I'm guessing if things hadn't worked out and I wasn't able to get the Wested I would have bought one of these.

From what I can tell from the pics the jacket looks good.

Just my personal opinion, but I don't like the way it looks. It looks more like a thick bomber jacket than an Indy jacket to me and has a very waxy look to it. On one note, every time we see Indy doing a stunt in his jacket it always looks waxy or shiny. It's possible that the Raiders stunt jacket was a Wings jacket.

Since we know so little, anything is possible.

Maybe my mind will change once I get to see G-Mann's Wings jacket in person.

Nice-looking jacket, Indyfan. I agree about it looking more like a bomber than an actual Indy jacket but that doesn't mean this jacket is a piece by a long shot. There is still something cool about the US Wings antique lamb (as a separate entity.) It is a definite "Spirt of Adventure" jacket but not the best for duplicating the exact look. It does have a feel of wearing like a modern day bomber and doesn't look as "rogueish" as a true Raiders looks.
I wear mine almost everyday when a real jacket (warmth required) is needed.

For an Indy jacket look this one just doesn't have the drape, color, finish, or cut but it still WORKS for some reason. And it really does have the added benefit of functioning as a jacket when it gets cold.

ProfWex has one of these and he did some very cool stuff to his.

If I were looking for a replica of an Indy jacket, the US Wings would be my last choice. Yet in terms of the jacket style itself, I think it's one pretty cool jacket.

That being said, scroll down to the bottom half of this link and check out what ProfWex has done with his. That is some really nice work.
