My US Wings Kangaroo hide jacket.

[gi_canuck]

Hello there everyone!! I posted some info about this jacket when I first got it last september I believe..., but it's been broken it a bit now and since I've never really posted a pic of me wearing it here are some photos!! Enjoy!!




As you may have noticed, Arm circumference on this thing is HUGE!! Make me look like my arm is built like Ahnuld's!! haha

Gi Cannuck, great jacket! I didn't know USWings did one in Kangaroo. What size is that?



Peace.

Hello Bemo. It's an XL... unfortunately it's a discontinued item now... they don't make it anymore. It's not really a SA jacket though. Because it's so rare to find a Roohide Indy jacket, I couldn't just let the chance of owning one go by. (It's one of a kind kinda jacket now) It's pretty heavy and durable for sure. I mainly use it as a winter jacket... (I live in Canada and it snowed today.) and it holds up pretty good. I wore this jacket and a sweater underneath -20celcius weather and I felt fine. I love it so far except for that humongous arm circumference... Anywho hope this answers your question.
Cheers!!

Hi gi_canuck, that's a beauty all right. Can I ask a size question though as I've just ordered a US Wings in XXL and I'm a bit worried now that it's going to be too big. Would you be willing to post your height, normal jacket size etc (e.g. 44", 46" and so on) as that looks like a great fit on you?

Yes, the upper arms on the wings jackets are large...however, from a visual standpoint, they don't look too big - they just feel that way. It actually makes it great for wearing a sweater in the winter!

Hello michaeljcr. I am 5' 10"... my chest size is 46. My sleeve length I think is... 24" (From shoulder to sleeve) The whole jacket overall is comfortably roomy. Not too tight, not too snug... If you are getting regular raiders jacket though, you may want to get one a little bigger than you really are. I am a big boned guy and oh man, my snug raiders standard made me look bigger than I really am... I am getting a new XXL for that one for sure... Anywho, hope this helps!!

Thanks for that, I'm a 48" chest and have a Wested in that size, but it's a bit snug over anything but a t-shirt or shirt. If that's the XL on you and you're about a size down from me, it shouldn't be too bis on me.

[gi_canuck]

Yeah, I think your US Wings XXL will probably be a good fit for you. Can't wait till I see some pics of your jacket when you get it!!
