Re: Darkening US Wings Vintage Cow

Well, over thirteen years later, I’ve used the boot oil on my USW Vintage Cow jacket. Thoughts?

The Ringer published a great article about the history of the Jones fedora. Well worth the read.

Re: Leather Stretch

Hardly worn at all. I gave it to my Dad for Father's Day a few years ago and he's worn it less than 5 times in the 3 years. Clearly, I didn't get the Indy gene from him. I just started to wear tonight and am already seeing some stretch. I'll keep doing it for a bit and see if that helps. What's funn...

Leather Stretch

Hi All- Greetings from wonderful Montana! Haven't been on for a while but I have a question for the minds out there. I just inherited one of the clearance lambskin US Wings from a few years ago and it is a tad too small. I'd like to stretch it out a bit around the chest/torso area. Any suggestions f...

I want to do the same thing with my Vintage Cow but I'm not sure what the effect will be on the leather. I've looked through the boards and haven't found an answer to this particular question. Than...

US Wings

Don't forget U.S. Wings. Of all the jackets I've seen, they are the most durable.

This includes Indy and non-Indy jackets. Like iron.

Darkening US Wings Vintage Cow

I've looked through the posts about this but haven't found the answer I'm looking for on this.

How do you permanently darken a US Wings Vintage Cow jacket?

I wear my USW Goat all the time but want to change up now and again.

Thanks...

I just wanted to say thank to the folks on this site for the great information concerning jackets. I ordered a vintage cow from US Wings and liked it so much I ordered a goat AND a jacket for my Dad's Father's Day gift. It looked so great, I gave it to him today, instead of waiting. I especially wan...
