Seam down the middle? Of where? Well, as far as this jacket goes, there's no seam down the middle of the back or anything. It's Pecarding up nice. Put on a coat yesterday, and another right now. It's really soaking it up good.

New US Wings Vintage Cowhide

Hello everyone. I got my US Wings Vintage Cowhide Indy jacket today, and am in the process of Pecarding it. When it arrived, it looked very light, and almost suede like. VERY soft and comfy. The Pecards makes it look NICE! I'm very impressed with the jacket. If any of you have questions about it, fe...

Pecards and Shrinking

Does anyone know if applying pecards will shrink leather at all? I'm getting a US Wings Vintage cowhide and a pair of Aldens and don't want either of them to shrink when I apply the pecards. Thanks.

Well, I gave the measurements that were taken of me. The jacket fits fine in the chest and sleeves. It's just that the arm holes and shoulders are too small. I can't cross my arms across my chest without having it feel like the jacket is going to rip off of me like the Incredible Hulk. I normally we...

I hear people talking a lot about the sleeves "riding up." Does that mean that they shrink over time? Does the US Wings Vintage cowhide jacket have a nice zipper? What about gussets? Are the side straps going the same direction as the Wested? Also, I was hoping someone had some pics. I onl...

Any thoughts and help on a US Wings Vintage Cowhide?

I just sent my Wested TOD goatskin back to Wested for a refund. It's way too small in the shoulders and arm hole areas. I'm wondering if anyone has anything to say about the US Wings Vintage Cowhide jacket. I don't mind if it's not EXACTLY screen accurate. I think it's a nice looking jacket. 1. Does...

GO IT TODAY! I tried it on, and it fits well. The only problem I seem to find is that it's a little tight at the back of my armpit. I wonder if I got the gussets if it would have eliminated that problem. Does anyone know if the leather stretches at all over time? Or does it shrink?

Jerry, I e-mailed Peter on Wednesday (day 20 of 21) and asked him if he would e-mail me when my jacket shipped, and if could also include a tracking number in that e-mail. 2 days later, (today), he wrote me an e-mail saying that it's on it's way.

I just got an e-mail from Peter today saying that my TOD Wested shipped out today via parcelforce. Booya. Does anyone know how long it would take to get from jolly old England to California? I'm hoping by the end of next week. Any guesses?

A few minutes ago, the doorbell rang, and I ran downstairs, and there was the delivery guy! He had a big box that looked like it held a new Wested TOD jacket! So, I signed for it, and brought it in the house! THEN... it wasn't my jacket. It was something else. And so, the waiting continues, and cont...

For any of you out there with size 9.5 feet, I just found out that Aldens in that size are going to take about 10-12 weeks! I decided to go with the 10's (my real size, instead of going 1/2 size smaller). We'll see in 4 weeks if they fit.

Just ordered my Aldens

After thoroughly reading posts about the Indy Aldens, I finally decided that I should go ahead and order a pair. I've got back problems, and someone posted that they're othopedic shoes, so I'm hoping that the boots will benefit my back. Jeff at Renner boots told me that my size, 10EE are out of stoc...

What Price Glory Strap

I just received my What Price Glory Mk VII bag, and think it's very nice. I do have a question about the strap though. The back side of the strap is not finished. It has a VERY light unfinished leather color. Do you suggest I leave it like this? Or should I dye it? If so, how? Suggestions?

Black Wested Jacket on eBay

Hello everyone. I was browsing through eBay, and saw a BLACK Wested Indy jacket for sale. Does Wested even MAKE a black Indy jacket? They don't show it on their website, but someone is apparently selling one on eBay. I thought it might be a dark brown jacket, but I'm not sure if the dark brown Weste...
