Best CS jacket alternative??

Post by IndianaSean »

With my heart still in the doldrums after the news of Tony passing and possibly never getting the chance to own a piece of his art. I was wondering what do you guys think is the best alternative for a CS jacket? I have been seriously considering the US Wings collectors edition. I know there are threads already out there about the jacket itself. But wanted your opinions on where is the best place to obtain a quality CS jacket now.

Regards,
Sean :TOH:

I'd go with Wings. They have the CS fit down to the tee, IMO. As well as the color.

Not only that, but their leather source is exactly the same company/tannery that Tony used for his CS jacket.

Yep, the 'do nothing right now' approach is also a viable alternative. :-k

I'd agree with a wings CE jacket being a very good CS version.

Thanks for the insight guys. On a side note..do we get a discount from US Wings? I thought I might have seen this in a thread somewhere? Or it could be I'm losing my mind!! :rolling: :rolling: ](*,)

COW member "IndianaSean", if I recall correctly, and if it is still applicable, there is a $100.00 discount on the Collectors Edition Signature Series Indy-Style Adventurer jacket. In order to receive the discount, you must mention that you are a COW member.

But, considering the post from COW member "Han Jones".....I would hold off on the purchase. :-k

If you want to go a US Wings on its own merit - sure, go ahead.

But I think Han conveyed the message better than I did. Oh, wait, I think it was because I didn't do this: ;)

"Yojimbo Jones", I "noticed" your post along with "Michaelson". As you mentioned, "Han Jones" conveyed the message a bit more...."open".

:TOH: :)

Very good. But if the "waiting" wears thin, or does not result in something you like, the Wings jacket is outwardly your best choice.
