Here is the first Indy Jacket I bought, but I don't call it my first Indy jacket technically since I didn't buy it brand new...it's definitely too big in the shoulders and sleeves, but I really like the look and feel.
It's lightweight, but meaty and tough as nails.

I'm thinking about selling it since it's too big, but it's just so beautiful.

I would suggest holding on to it, because many people...er...grow... into larger sizes as they get older. I know I have.

Gosh, Hunter Jones....
Just when I have finally come to terms that I need to sell this awesome jacket, you have to come in and make me second guess myself again...
I just don't know...But really, thanks for the input buddy.

Just to give you guys an idea of what the US Wings Large measurements are, I'm going to take the usual measurements for the jacket tonight when I get home (I'll post them here).

I have been thinking of why USW did make those sleeves with that incredible inacurate top arm seam that goes over the triceps?

Michaelson...do you know?

thanks

I'd guess making three-piece sleeves allows them to make more economical use of the available hide. Two hides instead of cutting into a third. Goats are not big critters.

Correct! You'll see the same thing on their lambskin jackets too.

It's just the size of the critters they have to deal with in making a jacket, and decisions have to be made in order to finish any given project.

You don't see this on their cowhide jackets.

Regards! Michaelson
