Received my first jacket! -- US Wings Collector's Edition

Post by dirtyepic129 »

Folks,

I'm pretty new to this forum and to the collecting of finer things :D
I just wanted to say that I received my USW Collector's Edition jacket and absolutely love it. The leather quality is great, and it's a lot softer than it looks in the picture. I know some have mentioned size issues since it's not a tailored jacket, but I guess I lucked out because it fits me quite well (including the arms). Sorry no pics as of yet, but will try and find my camera.

Also as someone who puts a lot of stock in customer service, I've gotta say that the folks at USW (especially Sgt Hack) are top of the line! (and no, I wasn't asked to say these things -- just look at the other posts regarding these jackets and the customer service!).

I got mine a couple weeks ago, and I have to agree with everything you said epic, about the jacket and USW

The reason I wanna see it so bad is because it looks like they downsized the pockets on the SE. That was the reason I didn't buy one. They were huge!!

I got my jacket today! I'm not sure if it fits screen accurate (the pictures show the jacket right out of the box), but I love it to say the least. I really like the color and the feel of the leather is really supple. It's a heavy beast so it'll probably be late fall around here (Kentucky) before I can really start to wear it.

Such a nice, nice jacket and I couldn't be more happy. I'm really glad Sgt. Hack put in the $100 discount otherwise I might have passed this one up.
