US Wings 30th Ann. Featherweight Antiq. Lambskin

[car96]

Size XXL. Fit is good, length is good. Sleeves are too long for my liking, but it'll do.

Leather is soft and supple, collar is big & I don't like so much how it lays, leather is light and feels like it could snag and rip easy...but for the $$$ it's good.

Very nice, 96!

Looks like it fits you better than the last one, and the sleeve length looks good on you too.

If I could take up the sleeves about 1", it would be perfect on the sleeve, but it's not too bad.

This is gonna be my backup jacket....I want to be rough on it, but that lamb is too thin...but I am happy with it.

It doesn't look that brown either, more of a dark brown.

The collar can eventaully be trained to sit like you want.
I loved my Wings lightweight lamb..I just hated the lining....Michealson has always said that you could have that changed out but I just never tried it but it really was a great go-to jacket! Loved loved lovede that leather and have never found its equal with any other vendors.

[Michaelson]

Yep, with a cotton lining they're fantastic jackets, and a LOT tougher than you're giving it credit, even as a lambskin, though you should always lean toward the side of caution with ANY form of that leather. You don't have to treat it with kid-gloves, but it sure ain't a goatskin or cowhide.

I was surprised!

Regards! Michaelson

The sleeves on an Indy style cuff are very easy to have altered. Any tailor that's worked with leather should have no problem.
As for the collar, I find that all of my US Wings jackets needed to worked by hand a bit to look right. I often wet the collars for that, too.
I have one of these on it's way to me, and if it's the hide I think it is, it's stronger than it seems. As Michaelson says, it's not goatskin or what-have-you, but it's not going to disintegrate if you bump into a wall. I doubt US Wings would allow such a product out of their doors.

Now the only thing needed on those jacket are the tailoring, and some distressing to give it that ToD look.

I think he's talking about how with flash those pics make it look a much lighter shade of brown than it actually is. In natural light, it is a dark brown.

Gotcha. Thanks for clearing that up.

Did a little distressing. Should I try and darken the distressed areas with Pecards?

Ya, I'd make it a little darker. It would be perfect for the LC jacket though.
