That jacket is gorgeous! It's the one I'm going to order.

JC1972

I had placed an order for a special order jacket on June 26th and received on July 5th here in FL. Didn't have to pay any customs duties or taxes.

JC1972

How much breaking in is needed? I have a size 13 and I've been trying to break them in, but it just seems painful at times. What is the fine line of trying to break them in, and just throwing in the towel? I have a size 14 on the way which they just released, so I'll just probably just sell the 13s ...

US Wings's unwillingness to reveal measurements always puzzles me, I once asked him about a measurement of indy jacket he said he won't release any information about their pattern, very strange. Yeah I received the same. I was just asking Sarge for measurements of back length and sleeve length, and...

As you can see I received cryptic information from Sarge. And a few weeks ago he had told me I was a XL long. I was just asking for measurements, not what he thinks I am or want.

JC1972

Sarge just wrote back, and told me 2xl long. And measurements should be on the site. I had to write back saying there are no longs for this jacket. Btw I'm 6'4", 225 lbs. Edit: Sarge wrote back, I'm confused as I was only asking about striated lamb as I love the look of it. Guess I won't be pla...

JC1972

As I'm also worried about sleeve length, I emailed Sarge about measurements on XL and 2xl. Waiting to hear back. I love the look of that striated lamb.

JC1972

Yeah nada on seeing those pics

I sent an email last night regarding measurements, no word as of yet

JC1972

Oh wow, that's really nice! Any idea on the cut of the sizing? Shame there's no longs though. My arms need that especially.

JC1972

I think the confusion is that Sarge used both codes, and the above poster gave the 2nd code when inquiring.

JC1972

Confused as I just received this reply from USWings after asking for more info. Sir The IJVINC jacket is not available in Seal Brown Antique Lambskin. Sorry. Is the proper code IVVINC or IJVINC? Because this is IJVINC, I think https://www.uswings.com/product/signature-series-vintage-cowhide-indy-st...

JC1972

Wow, looks great! That's a great fit, wear it in good health. I think you nailed the measurements.
Fyi I'm also wondering about the straps and the pronged buckles.

JC1972

Anyone have the Wested predistressed lamb? Thinking of getting one for LC, wondering how it is

JC1972

I'm also interested to see

JC1972

Love the review, thanks for posting. Hats look great, glad I placed an order for the Advintage; I have about a 100 more days left. It is weird how much cheaper their beaver felt is than the others' rabbit. Being here in FL, I'll need the beaver.

JC1972

I know I may be in the minority here, but I couldn't bear to give this jacket a shower. I love the look and feel of it just as it is. I’m sure I’ll feel that way when I get it. I’m in no rush to age it. I’ll likely enjoy the freshness of it as new for quite a while. Yes I totally feel the same way....

JC1972

I ordered mine 3/10, shipped 3/17 and received 3/19

JC1972

I personally don't know much about the TOD jacket, but was wondering about that as my next jacket choice. Maybe if you ask Michaelson, he knows his stuff. Don't know what other jacket gurus are out there, I'm just getting back into it on here after a hiatus. Maybe KT Templar too. Maybe make your own...

JC1972

Hedji, I hear you about wondering what size to get. It's not easy, especially for us tall guys. I've always measured to thumb knuckle. So I would suggest the 26.5 sleeves. For back length, I'd say 25. You're about an inch or so shorter than me and I got 25.5 back length. I don't know if you saw the ...

You're 6'3" . Definitely go with 26" back then. You have to allow for the jacket coming in a little bit less than what you order. Also once the jacket gets broken in and crinkled up you lose a bit more. Well I already got it, did you see the pics? I had 26.5 in my Hero and it seemed a bit...

JC1972

Here are pics. I did them quick and I was tired. Again this I'm around 6'3"-6'4" with 45" chest; this is a 46, 26.5 sleeves and 25.5 back,. I'm back running so I hope to lose some pounds soon. Let me know if any questions, hope this helps anyone. http://imgur.com/gallery/tX9Q38I"...

I just got my Raiders legacy yesterday. I'm 6'4" (might be closer to 6'3" if I've settled as a friend had told me), and got the 25.5" back length, seems fine for me. I wanted a "shorter" Indy jacket. I love the leather! Tough for a lambskin, and actually slept in it last nig...

JC1972

Looks like most of their positive reviews are for um, restraints and floggers

JC1972

I just ordered a Advintage Raider last week, 120 day wait which I don't mind. I have my Harrison to tide me over.

JC1972

Chose Poorly, looks good but how's the back length?

JC1972

I'm 6'1" and my Legacy has a 25.5" back which lands just above my back pockets (in modern cut jeans). You've got 3" in height on me, but I have a pretty long torso which might explain the lack of difference in back length measurements. I think if you want the back of your jacket to l...

I'm 6'4", 230ish with a 45" chest and have a 46 Hero from like 8 years ago. It pulls kind of weird across the chest when zipped up. I thought maybe to go with a 48, but Wested's customer service said to go with a 46. I know I have to lose a few pounds I gained being home this past year du...

I'm about 225-230 lbs. I'd think the XXL would be swimming on me.

JC1972

At 6'6, I'd go with the regular version if you are hoping for a more screen-accurate-ish look. A long would probably fit you how 4T2's jacket fits, if not longer, if that's what you're going for. Just a guess, but I doubt an XXL regular would be too short for someone your height, especially looking...

I just got mine, size 13. Came really super fast! Ordered Tuesday, received Friday. Seem like a really great pair of Indy boots for the money. They are narrow. I've been wearing a little here and there to break them in.

Its stamped on the lining inside the chest pocket. Strangely, mine is not numbered. I turned the pocket inside out. Then looked in the other pockets and all over the inside (again). I've been wearing it in the 40 to 50 - something degree weather days lately and loving it all over again. Now if I co...

Yep. The one we're talking about is made from highly distressed aged steerhide...much more distressed than the one that appears on site. They haven't shown it as as stock item as the runs are too small. I'd say the best describers would be that the in-stock steer hide seen at the link above is more...

There's more than one imported Steerhide Legend?

It shows on the site as $195. Unless you get long, which is $215.

Oh, striated lamb! I really need more sleep.
