I’m close to finalizing my S&J order and I’m at the distressing decision point. I’m really not sure which way to go. My jacket is going to be an everyday wear jacket, not a cosplay piece. So the “no distress” route is appealing to me. I like the idea of breaking it in myself. But at the same tim...

I also had a recent experience with Wested where the delivered back length felt too short, and was less than I requested. Whole story here: https://www.indygear.com/cow/viewtopic.php?t=73679&sid=53461f1b8f64230a9769cd30f0ac4292 Because you're within the "tolerances" they quote on their...

The beauty I found in working with S&J on the jackets I own (and this goes for the Fedora's they make as well) is that they carefully take your measurements and create a jacket or hat that is perfectly in keeping with what we saw Harrison wearing on screen and transform it into something that s...

27.5" is approaching car coat length for someone that's only 5'9". I would rethink where you think the Indy jacket should fall and how it should fit. I'm 5'10" and my LC is 25". Also, if you're a 46" chest, then I would stick with a size 46 and not size up. In the end, you'...

Humm I dunno. Maybe I have short legs and longer torso? The 26” back on the Wested LC felt unnaturally short to wear. But maybe that’s how it’s supposed to be and I’m just not used to it?

When you're not a standard size it's very hard to gauge and advise this sort of thing. Like how tall are you, and what is your waist measurement? If your waist is greater than your chest measurment that throws things off. I mean you're probably wearing your pants at crotch height, in which case you...

You make a compelling case…

I’ve been on a quest for my Indy jacket for a few months now, and it’s been quite a journey. I’ve never owned one before, and it’s been exciting and stressful trying to get one that works for me. I am wondering if you fine people can give me some advice? I am a heavier guy, and I guess I am not stan...

On March 3rd I emailed US Wings and asked them: I was reading about the Cooper Indy jackets, and I read they have some additional insulation or fill inside the jacket that makes it warm. I live in a warmer climate, and so I don't want any additional insulation. I am wondering if the other Indy jacke...

I emailed US Wings, and the Sarge replied, "Our Indy Jackets do not have the extra lining." So, I dunno. Maybe things have changed since that previous thread?

I ordered a custom Last Crusade jacket from Wested in January. I’m in the USA. It arrived in about a month.

I am looking to purchase a US Wings Indy jacket. I had my eye on one of the Cooper Original style jackets, but I am glad I read the forums here first. Reading this thread, it sounds like the Cooper jackets have an insulation layer inside the jacket that make them very warm: https://www.indygear.com/...
