I haven't posted to this section in a long time but indymassilia your jacket looks absolutely amazing!!! One of the best jackets I have ever seen. Great choice and great job by Wested on this jacket. As others have said DO NOT artificially distress this stunning jacket!!!

I believe the this is a different leather from the Texas steerhide!

It would be a shame for US Wings to no longer offer USA made Indy jackets. I am fortunate enough to own one and it is a fantastic jacket. I also own several other Wings Indy style jackets and they all have come out of the Pakistan factory. I have had no problems with any of these jackets and all hav...

Best conversion of this model I have seen to date. Awesome job! I need to send you mine to replicate.

scot2525

Looks good Holt! I will have to get to a few new photo's of mine up, as this jacket has seen far more wear than any Indy jacket I have or had owned.

When my zipper broke and I told Tony, his reaction was "It's that G** D*** screen accuracy!" He recommended that I let him switch the zipper to a heavy duty version he used for his own CS jacket, but I preferred to keep my jacket as screen accurate as possible. Like others have said, he f...

I voted for option 2 mainly based on price point but with a few other considerations. I have seen a few post concerned about repairability of the boot but Todd's current inexpensive boot has been proven to be repaired successfully so that seems to be a moot point for me. I also have bad feet, flat (...

You know what Texan Scott, I am trying to purge jackets right now not acquire new ones, and then you post these pictures!! What to do, what to do? That is a great looking jacket and one of the best Todd's jackets I have ever seen, OTR or CUSTOM!! Oildale let me know how the conforming on that 2008 j...

Here is what my holster looks like after a couple years and some artificial distressing.

scot2525

THAT'S the way a jacket is supposed to fit, especially through the shoulders. I'm about the same size, and love the fit of my M Signature Series. You are correct ron521, that is the way A jacket should fit. I don't know if I agree if it is the way an Indy "Raiders" jacket should fit though.

scot2525

I couldn't agree more with Baldwyn regarding his statement we "all measure differently". I currently own 6 Indy jackets from three different vendors marked 4 different sizes but all measure in chest and sleeve length within 1/2 inch . The measurements do begin to differ on front and back l...

Does no one else have pictures of this jacket to post? I have had the oppurtunity to wear this jacket the last couple of weeks and it is really breaking in nicely.

scot2525

Nice Scott! It looks like the jacket had a shorter length and a more snug fit compared to the Legend Cow and the Hero that you had. Would you say this is a considerably trimmer fit? Smaller in size? This jacket is definitely shorter than either Hero jacket I own and much trimmer than the New Zealan...

Jacket weather here has been hit and miss. Just about every morning for the past two weeks I wear a jacket to work but by lunch time it is no longer needed until after sunset. Tomorrow looks like it will be a jacket day all day, low 36 F- high 72 F but then lows jump into the 50's and high's back in...

Thanks for the compliments guys. This is definetly the best fitting jacket I have got from Wings out of the box. I absolutely love it. My Legend Cowhide will not get as much wear anymore. I like this jacket so much I listed my Todd's standard lambskin in the Cairo Bazzar this weekend.

Finally had the opportunity to take a few photographs yesterday. This is a truly awesome jacket. http://img831.imageshack.us/img831/8558/indy30thannvjacket006.jpg http://img821.imageshack.us/img821/4448/indy30thannvjacket019.jpg http://img705.imageshack.us/img705/4888/indy30thannvjacket008.jpg

My jacket arrived on Friday and I very pleased with it. The fit for me is incredible, the best fitting jacket from Wings, out of the box. As others have stated the collar is a bit wonky and will need to be "worked". The leather is as soft as any leather I have ever felt which includes the ...

Great looking jacket and pictures IndyDawg, you wear it well. The jacket looks like another winner from Sarge and US Wings.

scot2525

Sarge,
Congratulations and thank you for the service to your country! You are a true American Hero.

scot2525

Weston that is a fantastic looking jacket and you wear it well!

Sarge, once again you have out done yourself, expect an email from me soon.

As Magnoli said "for $5.00 who cares!" The dimensions of this notebook are 1/4" larger in length and width than my Magnoli journal. The brown cover could easily be shaded green with roll on inks, pencils, or water based paint. It contains 30 fewer pages than Magnoli's journal. The pag...

I corrected my post.

Sorry for any confusion.

Why do some of these Hero jackets have snaps at the top and bottom? On Wing's website i only see the Signature with snaps. When the jacket was first shown many members felt that the jacket had a "Last Crusade" look/vibe about it with the exception of the snaps. Many request were made to h...

Yes there is Hollowpond, I can do that too. I love watching mythbusters.

scot2525

That leather in a US made legend would be really awesome. The Hero cut does look very comfortable though. I couldn't agree more Kaplan, I would love to see the antique cowhide made in the USA using the Legend pattern! That would be one heckuva a jacket. Nebraska the jacket looks great on you and yo...

When I got into the gear collecting almost three years ago I never thought I would own multiple pieces of gear other than pants, boots, or web belts. I acquired all the basic pieces of gear in a short period of time between the spring and summer of 2008. I started with an OTR Wested in seal brown la...

I believe I will be doing the same to my cow Legend jacket once I get it back from Wings. I have always preferred the straps pulling forward towards the pockets and feel the rectangular sliders/buckles are less cumbersome than the tri-glides. I may do the same on my son's Legend as well. I am going ...

scot2525

cant be. my xxl fits me like a 44-46. I bud of mine who is the same size as me had a large and it looked like he was wearing a condom with front pockets. I concur with Holt my Xl fits like a 42 Long.

Pocket flaps at there point are 2 7/8" and at the sides they measure 2" on my XL.

scot2525

Pockets on my Todd's XL jacket measure 6.25" x 6.25" excluding the pocket flap. If you include the pocket flaps they measure 6.25" Wide and 7 1/8" long/tall.

Yes he does. sarge@uswings.com

I concur wwith Hollowpond on both counts. I have a small Hero in cow an aside from length the jacket is very form fitting. My cow Legend is a medium and fits like a glove. If in doubt contact US Wings direct but I do suggest you move up one size.

scot2525

That does **** Holt!

There has to be a cause for this and hopefully Wested can figure it out. Out of the same morbid curiosity that Weston has I would like to see some pictures.

I am in an adjacent state to US Wings and shipping has always been fast if the product is in stock. It only takes one day for the item to arrive on my door step after it ships via UPS ground. The one time I had to do an excahange with Wings I shipped the jacket back on a Friday, it was recieved on M...

scot2525

Weston is correct, the leather is from the same tannery but is not the the same batch of leather used for the CS jackets. US Wings did use the remaining leather from CS for a jacket a few years ago.

scot2525

Great looking jacket Smith! It does appear darker than mine but looks similar to Pitfall Harry's jacket imho. As Tundrarider said sleeping in it does help speed up the "lived in look" on the jacket however a word of warning, undo the straps from the buckles. I slept in one my jackets that ...

Great looking jacket and great fit Harry, another homerun from US Wings!! Kwad, the zipper on my US cow Legend is brass and stops about an inch above the bottom hem. In fact none of my Indy jackets zips extend to the bottom hem, Todd's does come close but is still short, and a couple of my other Ind...

These pants are a steal at this price. I would not hesitate to pick a pair of these up in any color if your size is available. I have a pair of the taupe that I initially purchased as my close enough Indy pants but I wear them for business casual dress far more often.
