Wow, Minecraft graphics are getting really good.
My preference is in order from right to left.

Re: Which one is better (with pics)
I concur. Far right.
Re: Which one is better (with pics)
Are these smaller size jackets, like 36 or 38? ...the pockets are huge, not proportionally adjusted.
The right LC is the nicest leather

Re: Which one is better (with pics)
True, but those pockets were specifically made that to hold the journal in LC, so if you changed them proportionally, it would defeat the purpose of the sizing.....if that made any sense.

thank you guys! The size of the jackets from left to right is USW steerhide legend L, Wested standard pre distressed 44, USW vintage cowhide M(signature series are over sized, still more roomy than my Wested 44), both USW has mink oil applied

Re: Which one is better (with pics)
Be sure to store your jackets in a cool, dry area when not in use, as 'critters' LOVE any dressing that is made from animal rendering.....like mink oil or neat's-foot oil.

Re: Which one is better (with pics)
Looks like you could definitely go down a size or so in all 3. The arms look too wide.

Re: Which one is better (with pics)
Problem with that is if he goes down a size, the sleeves would be too short then.

Re: Which one is better (with pics)
I like the fit on you of the one on the left and the Wested in the middle.
The Wings jackets have the zipper pull to the wearers right (US convention), so they are easy to spot, the Wested is on the left which is screen accurate.
The colour is nicest on the right.
The sleeves on the left look a little too long to me. If you need to curl your hands in when walking about to stop your hands getting swamped they are too long IMO. Sleeves do tend shorten as they wrinkle. The sleeve length on the Wested is perfect. The sleeves on the right probably ok for some ride up.

Thanks KT, you mean the Wested is more SA? (The middle one, the far left is USW legend)Kt Templar wrote:I like the fit on you of the one on the left and the Wested in the middle.

Re: Which one is better (with pics)
It depends what you are looking for, none of them are dead on for a particular film. Left is a nice Raidery look and cut, colour is a bit light. Middle is a hybrid CS/LC. Left is a kinda LC.Thanks KT, you mean the Wested is more SA? (The middle one, the far left is USW legend)
Re: Which one is better or SA (with pics)
Well. Fit wise I will say the left one and the wested
but if your looking for SA for LC I am gonna say none of them.
They all are "LC style" jackets and all are very nice but for something LC alone, I am gonna say none of them
But please, enjoy your jackets and dont let SA ruin the spirit. .

Absolutely, Holt
Re: Which one is better or SA (with pics)
I like the middle one, very Crystal Skull style fit! Wings are great jackets (I've owned 6) but I seem to be in-between their sizing and I've sold every one. Your Wested looks best on you in my opinion.

Thanks man , not as good as your TN CS, I had contact them few days ago, they are asking $1200 for each jacket.....
Re: Which one is better or SA (with pics)
Sorry, you must have me mistaken for another member, I don't have a TN CS, though I do want one!
I do own a Steele & Jones LC, which was very much worth the wait. Honestly though, all of your jackets look good on you, and you have a great budding collection.

sorry. my bad but I do remembered you wonderful LC review! The leather of my Wested LC jacket looks kind of similar to CS, but jacket itself is little tight, which makes me uncomfortable

Re: Which one is better or SA (with pics)
The Wings jacket on the far right looks most natural on you, and the color is gorgeous. The Wested, however, is the most accurate of the bunch, with regards to the pattern and fit. The collar stands and the pockets are just way over-sized on the Wings jackets. And the zipper pull is on the wrong side.

Re: Which one is better or SA (with pics)
None of those appear accurate. Not that that needs to matter, the question is which feels best and looks nicest? The problem with those pockets isn't just the scaling, it is the proportion of the cargo pocket in relation to the flap. On these the cargo pocket is rectangular and very long. The LC film jacket has a flap that covers almost half the pocket - so the pocket appears square. I think all three look a bit large and baggy for my taste, especially the arms.

If I could afford a second jacket at the moment, I'd be ordering a Wings jacket like that on the right. As much as my G& B is an old, comfy friend, I really like the look of that leather and how the fit looks. Is that their new leather? Maybe the jacket is not as screen accurate, but then again, I'm interested more in a good jacket that's an Indy-style.

Re: Which one is better or SA (with pics)
Yes , it is extremely comfortable jacket, I wouldn't mind get another one if they have my size, I know my sounds crazy. If you are not so crazy about SA, I believe USW is always your first choice! Yes, USW still has this jacket with limit size http://www.uswings.com/product/signatur ... er-jacket/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;Dr. Nebraska S. wrote:If I could afford a second jacket at the moment, I'd be ordering a Wings jacket like that on the right.

The far right jacket looks the best.
