Wonderful addition to their site. They've needed this for a while now. The pdf is very useful too.

Too bad they don't have pictures of what the undertones look like for each different hide

Agreed, but I bet most of their customers don't do what we do to brand new jackets! :)

I'd venture to say most of the customers wear them. I was more talking about the freakshow of sandpaper, chemicals, files, and general horror so many Indy fans subject a brand new jacket to by "distressing" them.

I'm amongst the guilty parties here for sure! I messed with 2 Wings jackets and some other gear. :)

I wouldn't mind seeing samples of the dark distressed lambstouch hide - that definitely peeks my interest! :D
