Well done KT

That is a real winner.

Very nice jacket!

G-MANN

I just want to say what a gentleman and scholar G-Mann is! :clap: As the post stated above I was thinking of getting one of these guns. After a few PM John has offered to send me his WSP gun free of charge! Seriously who does this type of kindness these days! G-Mann you the man! :notworthy: Pleas...

Zane, Here is the pic I promised you. By the way with these the barrel is not bored out all the way so there is no muzzle flash. http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e132/jcg60625/BFHG.jpg If you still want this one you can have it. Replaced this with these: http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e132/jcg60...

Closer to a real gun than a cap gun judging by the size of the blanks I had for it.

G-MANN

I've got one. Never fired it though. Pretty good weight and fills a Todd's holster nicely.

Looking good Croft.

Thanks Eric. Have you taken your jacket off yet?

G-MANN

At exactly one month old. Hope you guys are enjoying your jackets as much as I do mine.

He purchased it new in Mid 2006.

G-mann.. did your cooper wings start out smoother in the begining? I love the grain on your cooper. it is the same skin as the legends right? I got that jacket as a gift so it was used when I recieved it. Here is what the gentleman told me about the jacket: I bought that jacket about a year ago and...

G-MANN

Indyzane, No sir. That is from the upper surface wearing off just from normal use.

G-MANN

One last thing. I tried a tiny bit of Isopropyl Alcohol on an inside part of the jacket. It will knock down the shine a bit BUT the color comes off fairly easily too. Going by that experiment Acetone, will probably completely ruin the finish within seconds. Just sharing.

Cheers,
G-MANN

G-MANN

Indyzane,

Thanks but it's not a problem. It's only about 1/4" and just adds to the look. On an older jacket made out of this same leather I got about a 3" rip in the sleeve. That's why I wanted to warn folks about the possibilities of tearing on the softer panels.

G-MANN

Indiana Holt wrote:yes! check out how it starts to relax into that raiders backpanel drape.

Just wait 2 weeks. You'll never want to take it off.

G-MANN

oh, btw.. this skin?...feels like a lambskin on steroids. it feels bulletproof. As I stated in the other thread, don't let the leather fool you. Some of the panels are prone to tearing. http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e132/jcg60625/IMG_4525-1.jpg Cheers, G-MANN Just wanted to add...I'm not compla...

G-MANN

I would like to add a few things about the leather [at least on mine] the top color brown is painted on over a dyed surface [IMHO]. Which is more common than you may think. Second is that although this leather is thick, the durability against scratches and tearing varies greatly from panel to panel....

G-MANN

Glad to see you finally got yours! Looks Fine to me Ian. It will soften up and relax very quickly.

Length looks just right.

Cheers,
G-MANN

G-MANN

Zane, Many Thanks. No water was used. I just push them up my forearms from time to time and they seem to hold the shape pretty well. I've been wearing it about 4 hours a day, nothing artificial just natural wear. I may be looking for a new home for that old Cooper/Wings. It's a bit small on me. It d...

G-MANN

Yes sir Holt, this is a size Large. The XL should work very well for you.

Cheers,
G-MANN

G-MANN

Thanks Mitch. I've always been impressed by your gear and the way you wear it. I guarantee you are going to love that Wings jacket more and more as it breaks in.

Cheers,

Old AB Deluxe. PM sent as not to detour a jacket thread.

G-MANN

Great jackets guys ! You will love how they look after only a few weeks of wear. Mine already seems like it's a year old. http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e132/jcg60625/JACKET17days01.jpg http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e132/jcg60625/JACKET17daysback.jpg http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e132/jcg...

IndianaChris711,

I would hang on to the one you have. Once the sleeves break in they should shorten up a bit.
Cheers,
G-MANN

G-MANN

Ian,

I'm pretty sure the brim is 2-1/2" all the way around. 5-1/2" Crown [Open]

Here is my Moss Green Penman [Beaver]. Wonderful Fedora from a Great guy. Got this back in October of last year.

Mitch, No water treatment on mine. I did get caught in the rain while walking the dogs but wiped it down with a terrycloth towel right away. PSB Indy, I received mine on Dec 24th 2010. Been wearing it everyday since then. http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e132/jcg60625/wingson01.jpg http://i38.photo...

G-MANN

PSBIndy , Glad you finally got your jacket. It looks great.

That back panel is going to loosen up and break in just fine.

Hey, Glad to see you got yours too. Couldn't agree more, awesome. This is the jacket I have been hoping for.

My US made arrived today.

Thanks MYKE and US Wings.

Merry Christmas,

G-MANN

PSB, I was in on this early but I think part of it, at this point is I am willing and able to shell out the overnight fee. Plain and simple. I do really hope you get your jacket soon, as well as all the others on the wait list. And I have no special connection to Wings or anyone other than my WiFi. ...

G-MANN

RayR, Congratulations! That jacket looks great. :tup: But I have to add that you remind me of Benjamin Linus / Michael Emerson of LOST [sans the crazy eyes]. I spoke with Myke this morning [VERY nice guy]. They did receive the SL jackets that were just made. So I am paying to having mine sent to me ...

Ah! I wondered if it was that one! Yes, that one was considerably lighter than I normally make them. In fact John, you might remember I was reluctant to sell it to you for that very reason. I think John can confirm that the other whips he's had from me have been much heavier. Yes sir. Much heavier ...

That was the First one I bought from you. The 8' One. I gave that to Indyblues as a gift a while back.
