Limited Edition U.S. Wings Jacket Arrived Today

My U.S. Wings Limited Edition Indy jacket , size medium, came today. It seems to be a much better fit than the large. What do you guys think?

If I sell the large, Indiana Holt and Canada Jones have both expressed an interest, but I haven't even considered it, as of yet.

Here are some pics. Feedback invited. Please disregard the old fart on top of the jacket and under the hat.

Thanks Guys......
I have to agree. The Medium fits much better. After buying way too many jackets, This one fits like I think it should. All the others were too big, or too tight in the armholes, or something. I'm very pleased.

Yes Holt, I got your PM and have responded.

Many Thanks
Randoman

Yep, that looks great!

At first I thought my large jacket was okay, but after looking at some pics of me wearing it, I sent my large jacket back to exchange it for a medium... should have it next week.

Sgt. Hack's customer service rocks, btw!

looks good to me. i absolutely love this jacket finally got to wear mine for an extended period of time (couple colder days here) and just love it even though a few on here think its too large.

It makes me wonder why USW doesn't get more air time. It sure seems like a great jacket to me. Just like the G&B, it's built to military specs and tough as a tank. Definitely, not a costume jacket, like the Wested.

Many Thanks
Randoman

i agree i have a todds and though i like it i just think its way too thin just doesnt feel like a leather jacket. when i think of a leather jacket it should feel like nothing is getting through it and the usw feels that way. heck i got rid of my other 2 leather jackets (bomber jackets) cause i loved this one so much

Got rid of your bomber jackets? WOW!!!! I could never do that. I love them all, but give me an A-2 or a G-1 , anyday.

Randoman,
Jacket looks absolutely AWESOME. I'm so glad I picked up one of these jackets (actually two), and agree that USW should get WAY more credit than they do...They make QUALITY jackets that are built for a lifetime! Perfect Jacket for you Randoman!!!

The fit on that jacket looks just about perfect on you! A lot of times Wings jackets seem to be a little long here or a little baggy there on some people, but that jacket seems to fit you great! Plus its the KOTCS hide. Couldn't ask for a better combo!

I've been preaching that for years!

Just go back and read old posts of mine in Jackets back to 2003 or even 2002. I've owned 3 USWings and still own two of them. They fabulous Indy Jackets. Period. My "almost" 6 year old Goat jacket from them has broken in beautifully.

And my new "Indy 4 leather" cowhide... that may be the jacket I get buried in...

I really wish I could afford this jacket!

Nothing recent. I'll try (weather depending) on getting new pics of all 4 jackets on my site this weekend if I can.

I missed the boat on these if you decide to sell I would love to get a shot at the large as thats the size I have to wear I am 150 lbs but 6'2 which means I need a large for the arm length.

Feel free to email me at mwells78@cox.net I would love to get one of these but all they have listed on the site is small and that would not work I am afraid.
Thanks again!
Mike

Hi Mike.read the vendor section.

these jackets are on the market again.it is the collectors jacket.

if you order be sure to tell Sgt.Hack on US Wings that you are a COW member and you will recieve a 100 dollars discount.
