).US Wings has a couple of new factories overseas and are going to start producing some of their Indy jackets there. Same jacket specs, same leather, same quality, same everything, but produced at a lower overhead and they're passing on their savings. So, in the next little bit, they are going to start offering a new line of Indy jackets (I believe under the US Wings 86 Line, but don't quote me on that point). These jackets will be offered in goat or their vintage cowhide for $195.95 (up to 3XL but no longs). It's going to be VERY hard to beat that combination of quality and price.
Next item: As more and more information has come to light, and DVD images have gotten more clear, we can see that the Raiders jacket had a lot of grain to it, featuring the famous striations that you've heard so much about. The interesting thing is that Wings used to offer a lambskin that had these striations on it. Here's a pic (the picture is small but can be saved and then zoomed to show the detail of the leather) Also, this is an old Wings jacket so take the 3 piece back panel (and arm panels) with a grain of salt. :
.I asked Sgt. Hack a while back if he could still source this leather and he can. So, he's going to be offering a jacket in this "striated lamb". For the same $195.95, you can get a jacket in a leather that closely resembles what you see on screen. And, considering _'s recent revelations concerning Neil Cooper's involvement with the Raiders jacket, without trying to read too much into it, you have a leather that might contain quite a bit of provenance.
Last, but certainly not least to me: the Wings Temple of Doom jacket is back on the table! Here's the thread for those who may not know what I'm talking about:

The Sgt. has said that he will be making this jacket in Wing's antique lamb for the $195.95 price. I've held the prototype and it was an awesome jacket that really brought Wing's Indy jacket pattern in line with the Temple of Doom jacket. So, you will be able to get a jacket with many SA features, made by the original manufacturer for a terrific price!
So there are a LOT of great things that are going to be coming out of the Wing's Indy jacket front in the next few months!
Oh, and I also forgot to add that, in non-Indy jacket news, Wings is also coming out with a new line of varsity jackets as well. The ones that have the wool body and leather sleeves. I'm hoping they have these in black and gold so I can have a Steelers emblem sewn on.
Oh and 
Thanks for pointing that out, that is what happens when you look at a computer screen for almost 8 hours a day at work. Well I am in on this adventure. When are these going to be available? I got my wallet ready.
so take note ) that the striated lamb jacket will be made using Wings' current pattern, but I'll try to remember to ask that when Sgt. Hack starts working on these.
Seriously, it probably sounds like I harp on my budget a lot, but I do blow money on other things. So, my coming across as being frugal is actually just my attempt to save money for my other vices. 
It would be nice to just have one.
