But why a US Wings ? I don't understand this. I never really hear people rave about them like an FS or a Wested. (US Wings owners please post your rave!) I LOVE my USWings Goatskin jacket. And I speak highly of it in every post regarding USWings (search the archives). I, also, agonized over the dec...

Engineer boots

I own the Chippewa Engineer Boots, which are identical to the 'Bean boots. If fact, I think they ARE the 'Bean boots with the LLBean name on it. These are great boots; I love mine. They are hard to break in (it took me about a week) but they are extremely comfortable once they conform to your feet. ...

You didn't really notice it until you got it next to ANY other Indy jacket, then it jumped out at you as to how MUCH red tint was there. One of the Dallas WhipEnthusiasts had the Kangaroo USWings jacket that we saw recently. We compared his 'roo jacket with my own USWings goatskin Indy, and there i...

Singing the praises of the USWings Indy jacket

I can't say enough good things about my USWings Indy goatskin jacket! I bought it last March with income tax return money and wore it a little while before it became too hot. But when the cool weather came last autumn, I put it on and have hardly taken it off since. This is, literally, the only jack...

It sounds like your friend, indeed, needs the medium size instead of the large. I, also, fit the large size jacket in USWings sizing, but I got the medium and it fits perfectly! Thanks to Indydawg for his suggestions when I ordered mine. I would have been swallowed by the large. I got the goat and I...

Patches on leather jackets...specifically the A2

I don't think this is off topic; after all, it IS about leather jackets. :D I recently found a nice A2 jacket, possibly goatskin, in our local Army-Navy store that would fit my son perfectly. I don't know what brand it is, but it seems very durable and reminds me of my own USWings goatskin Indy. The...

Does anyone else remember the ORIGINAL Banana Republic, back when it was a Safari Outfitter? Oh, the abundance of khakis and olives and the sounds of the wild… Disney’s Jungle Cruise all done up as a clothing store! I have now-unwearable shirts that I refuse to part with. I am otherwise a reasonabl...

Hey Pyroxene,

Congrats on the new frames. How about a photo of you wearing them, so we can see how they look on a person? I might consider some when I get ready for new glasses.
