Sorry for the radio silence. I ended up with a really good deal on a USW goat that I just couldn't pass up. The fit works pretty well for me. I was hoping it would have a little patina to it but I will have to "earn" that I guess. Thanks for all of the advice.

Michaelson,

You answer was good. My reply to the car coat comment was meant for you and CM both. Thanks for the help.

I do like my sleeves a little longer than the average (longish arms) but ov...

Hello. I’ll start with saying you really seem to have a great and helpful community here. I am glad I found you all. I am interested in getting an Indy jacket but have some questions. I have read a lot of threads and while there is a lot of helpful information there is so much that it becomes confus...
