On Tuesday I received my brand new Legend Texas Steerhide from US Wings. I just want to start off by saying that I am so very impressed with this jacket. Wow! My first impression was honestly one of the best I have ever had with an Indy jacket. Of course there was that wonderful new leather smell that flew out of the box upon opening. _
Now for the details. Lets start with the pattern itself. Very simply put, I have to say I love it. It has everything I could ask for in a Raiders jacket. The slim fit everyone has been speaking about is right on the money. This jacket fits me very very well. It is definitely one of the best fitting jackets I now currently own.
Let's talk leather. My friends, the steerhide turned out to be just a wonderful choice. Of course there is the obvious distressed look to the leather but let me tell you the other more wonderful properties. This hide has a tough thickness and weight yet is extremely soft, smooth, and supple. I am absolutely in love with this hide. I am interested to see it darken with a treatment of Pecard's however that will not be for some time.
The satin the lining of the jacket is, well, there is no other word for it but luxurious. I ended up liking it way more than I thought I would.
So, there is a little review for the time being. I will be adding more details and photos later on. Until then here are some shots of myself wearing the jacket. Thanks for reading!
Cheers

Thank you all for the kind words thus far! Michaelson, I agree with you, the fit is like a custom! The fit of the shoulders and arms holes is just perfect.
