hi,
i wanted to order a legend vintage cowhide from us wings.
i'd like the signature vintage but in the site the only size is 3xl.
my problem is the size to order.
i already owned a us wings indy jacket (inside it is written made in usa and i think is a signature). the size is large and it fits me well.
i am 6,2 high with athletic body
i wanted now a predistressed jacket more similar in the leather of that from the movie and it seems to me that the only choise is the legend vintage cowhide (i don't want lamb leather).
if the jacket was a signature i will order obviously a large but i read that the legend jacket is more military fit. so: which size will i order?
consider that i'm from italy so i cannot give back the jacket if it will not fit me.
thank you everybody.

Hi,
I have a US Wings Collector's Edition in cowhide. I'm 6' 2" tall and weigh around 215 lbs with an athletic build as well. I ordered an XL and it fits me very well. Comparison would be the fit of the jacket in KOTCS.
Hope this helps and take care!

Re: us wings vintage cowhide size choice
If you like the Signature series for the design, and you're a willing to go with a thinner cowhide of a darker color, why not go for the Hero series distressed cowhide? The sizing will be closer to the Signature series, and several small details will also be closer than the Legend will.
The Hero cowhide I own is a little smaller than the Signature jackets I own, but not very much (mainly in the shoulders and arms). So, if the large you own fits enough to get a sweater under it, a large Hero should fit. But if your large is a "perfect" fit, or snug, I would recommend going up to 1X.

unfortunely it seems to me that the hero distressed cowhide is not available in large size.
i search in the us wings site and it seems to me that the only distressed choice (not lamb) is the legend.
am i wrong?

If you have an athletic build, you would want the Legend in XL as RRP recommended. I've had both, and the Hero jacket is more of a relaxed fit.
