What are the odds you've still got one of those "Old Cow" Wings jackets sitting around in a size medium...or even a Large for that matter!?!

Or, heck...even the Old Cow leather!?! That would be a NICE jacket to resurrect!

I went out today and bought a Schott 141, the classic cafe racer jacket. Man, the cowskin is thick but supple, tough but buttery soft. Why can't I get an Indy in THIS leather?

I know the cafe racer isn't an Indy jacket but it's my next jacket, hopefully. (I need a black leather and it's about perfect IMO)

So, here is the obligatory comment... (4x) ;)

What's funny is I just brought a 141 recently too. I've been wearing it for over 2 weeks now and it's fantastic. The naked cowhide is very supple and the jacket is very well constructed and wearing it I can tell it could withstand a lot of wear and abuse. The tighter fit took some adjustment but after the leather breaks in it feels like a second skin! I've been calling it my new action jacket!
