Not to chime in late, but here is my story: I used to own both a wested and a US Wings. Sold the wested because it didn't fit quite right and I needed the money. That was two years ago. What am I doing back here? Trying to figure out what Wested options I want. Let me put that in even better "d...

i think I'd measure my US Wings (Medium) and go slightly smaller. The tag on my Lambtouch Raiders Wested is 42, yet my measurements submitted were smaller and I ended up with a jacket that, despite my girlfriend's assurances, feels a little too small. I'd also go with the elastics, goat, but leave p...

I have both (purchased within a month of each other) and let me say this: I love 'em both. :D That siad, I can't wait to order another Wested - cut a little fuller (I measured small). After watching the Indy trilogy (again) on DVD I am convinced I need a goatskin Wested Temple to compliment my Lambt...

Re: Attention Lawmbtouch Owners

I am now a proud owner of a lambtouch wested. Truly an amazing jacket. Anyway, my question is to fellow lambtouch owners. THe jacket is really dark, almost black. How do you get it lighter so it can be a more true brown? Does it lighten with age? Also, how has the lambtouched distressed? Does it de...

[OT] B-6 - Anyone?

Since there are so may A-2 fans here, I figured I ask this one here... Having both a Wested and a Wings, I'm getting an itch for something a little warmer and a little different. So, I'm thinking a B-6 from Eastman. Having google'd the B-6 I'm finding nothing - is there any other information regardi...

Thanks Michaelson, Is the vintage cowhide a dark brown or is it as light as the older wested distressed hides which were sort of a tan in color? First of all, definitely a Medium. Second, the hides are slightly tan and quite light - there is a thread around here with a photo of my jacket in the &qu...

I love my USW Vintage Cow Indy Jacket, great fit and color (after a coat of Pecard's). I wish it was warmer so I could wear it more. I love my US Wings Vintage Cow that was purchased last september - after three individual coats of Pecards, it looked too new but is aging perfectly (I suspect having...
