Regards! M

Totally agree! I just wish my G&B sleeves were longer. I can't wear it due to them being 1" +/- too short.

Love my SJ in cow, but the G&B felt like a real working jacket.

Hi guys, Just to inform waiting time, for anyone ordering a jacket these days, according to our current schedule. Steele & Jones SIZING AND MEASUREMENTS PROCESS = January, 23rd (approx.) JACKET COMPLETION = Febraury, 27th (approx.) Cheers.- My vote is for Steele and Jones. 100% worth the wait! ...

Funny you should mention this today. Years ago I bought a US wings Goatskin (USA made by Schott I believe). Exceptional quality. Beautiful leather. Built like a tank. And that was proved yesterday. I was racing to teach a class and the subway closed because of issues on the track. I was walking qui...

Thanks guys! I didn't know Diego offered cloth samples for fittings. Might have to keep an eye out for that. I did however request medium distressing, with room for my to put my own unique touches on it. Since last year, we have a new service. The MOCK-UP jacket. It's a tryout jacket. For USD 65.-(...

Welp, I guess I broke down and made my wallet ask my why I am the way I am :lol: After not being satisfied with the fit of my Wested LC or my G&B I got secondhand, I finally ordered a S&J Raiders Truck Chase in thin Cow. Now for the waiting game... :[ You will love the thin cow. I love my 3...

I cannot attest to Kelso. I can tell you that after trying numerous jackets since 2006, hands down, the best experience and product I have ever received from a vendor is S&J. I ordered a custom in August and had it by November. Fits like a glove, beautiful craftsmanship and TOP TIER customer ser...

RAIDERS jacket, in new Standard Cowhide (0.9 mm thick)

Cheers.-

I recognize that beautiful jacket. #347

It is far more beautiful in hand.

I'm also curious about this jacket on Etsy. I ordered a Star Wars cosplay jacket from them, and had an amazing experience. Really high quality, and they tailored it to me for an amazing fit. And at an unbelievable price point. I'm not in the market for another Indy jacket at the moment, but if anyo...

Ford looks AWESOME! Even old, he looks like the same tough man as he did in Raiders.

IndianaSmitty wrote:I'm very happy with it for what I bought it for, but for the price, there are better choices if a screen-accurate costume replica is desired.

Agreed. It is a well made jacket, but not too screen accurate, even if it is a "Cooper Original".

Cowboy

I don't understand why the pockets are so far from the bottom? It's so the pockets are still placed in proportion to where they should sit on the jacket in relation to your body and the Indy pattern. The extra length of jacket is below the pockets. That would make sense if I was XL or bigger, not f...

Oh man! I hope I am not the cause of a riot!

After some very good advice from a COW legend, I too took the plunge and put a down payment on a S&J 36 in cowhide. Coms are very good with these guys and I am looking forward to seeing and owning their work.

I sent a message to USW on that blog. Here is what the response is. "Robert Kruty says: Sir-Our Cooper Original by US Wings jackets, both the Indy and the A2’s are based upon the Cooper patterns. You can see them all at: https://www.uswings.com/product-category/cooper-original/" onclick=&q...

Never said you did, my friend. =; :TOH: What’s ironic is several years ago Wings OFFERED striated lambskin jackets, and folks claimed they looked like Dino-hide and returned them. The line was dropped. Now that folks have high resolution images, they want striated lambskin! The ones who returned th...

Fresh off the press impressions.... I purchased an Indy Style Goat from Wings in 2019 in LT and never worn it because it was ridiculously long and the cargo pockets at least 3 inches from the bottom of the jacket.

So the new Coopers are a bit long but not that long. My S&J lamb measures 25.5.

What's the sleeve length and where are you measuring from?

Several of us are on pins and needles waiting on measurements!! If they got rid of the extra 2-2.5” in length on these, I will be so happy! Here is what I was told when I inquired about Large in Regular and Long- "Large Reg. 27 ½ Large Long 29 ½" The Cooper Long measurement is the same si...

Hello Michaelson! Is that a good or bad thing? I don't know much about Schott. The rep did indicate that it (jacket) was indeed made in the US...so I am pleased about that.

Got the shipment notice today. Scheduled for delivery tomorrow. So here's hoping! So did I. I called CS and they told me they were waiting on a shipment from NJ and that they would ship it to me on the 29th. NJ? so Schott made the jackets. Which one did you order?

I hope this drums up a lot of business for Wings' Indy Jackets...especially the 'Cooper' label- they were always the best fitting on me (until the added 2" length). Right? Whats a taller dude to do? I'd like to get a long so that my arms don't hangout the end without also having a trench coat ...

I was in the market for a few years back. (Although neve got around to picking one up...) The oil duster is the best way to go. And definately go with Filson, you won't be disappointed. http://www.filson.com/products/shelter-cloth-duster-coat.10014.html?fromCat=true&fvalsProduct=mens/filson-cla...
