Re: Wested's HERO jacket...

HF sleeves were 25"-26" roughly. See this archive post on the TN Raiders #000 jacket. I ordered my latest TNO Raiders jacket with 26.5" sleeves knowing they would shrink up slightly. Back length on it is 24" and 24" storm flap length on it as well. I am 6 foot, normally wea...

Re: US Wings vs Wested for a tall guy on a budget

Update... I could not resist getting the new Wested Hero jacket. Gemma told me they could do it in my size in goat, so I decided I just had to. It had all the right stitching, buckles, zipper and everything else I was looking for. I love the look of the US Wings jackets and was VERY close to pulling...

Re: US Wings vs Wested for a tall guy on a budget

...I exchanged mine due to the 'tall pockets' problem- there's a thread on that. No big deal to 'normal' people who buy it. Just make sure to add a note to choose one with the 'lower' pockets if/when you order. My replacement should be here Wednesday and I'll get pics then. here's that thread... ht...

Re: US Wings vs Wested for a tall guy on a budget

I'm the same size as you- 6'3, 210 pounds. I wear a 36/37 sleeve in a dress shirt. Wings Large Longs fit me perfectly. I got a Legend steerhide in last week, 3 days after ordering it, and the fit and feel was spot on Raiders, to me. They have great customer service- if you're not happy with it, sen...

Re: US Wings vs Wested for a tall guy on a budget

Yep, plus Wings jackets are built like tanks. They can take almost anything... even tear through a car seat, or so I've heard. ;) :lol: Heard that too! :lol: Wish I has the money I would buy both, compare and then sell one. Of course that would then put me in range of buying other jackets... :roll:

Re: US Wings vs Wested for a tall guy on a budget

Thanks ButteMT, truly appreciate the offer. The USW hero, while a beautiful jacket, is not accurate enough to satisfy my craving and I would only end up buying another jacket down the line I am afraid. Thx Chewy, appreciate the advice. Any word on sleeve taper on either of these jackets? As I recall...

US Wings vs Wested for a tall guy on a budget

Hey everyone. Long time listener, first time caller. Been doing some research on jackets. I know this is an old question and I have scoured the boards for answers and still can't put together the info I need. So, at the risk of being redundant... I am 6'3 and 210 lbs and want to grab an indy jacket,...
