Ebay Jacket
Does anyone have experience with this jacket maker? *IF* the pic they show is actually of their jacket it looks pretty good.

Re: Ebay Jacket
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that's probably NOT the maker's image. It looks very badly photoshopped (background cut out), so most likely it's been taken from another seller... and this is NOT what you would receive. Buyer beware.

Re: Ebay Jacket
I agree, steer clear. The jacket picture looks very much like the way US Wings displays jackets on their site. And the tab on the zipper pull is a characteristic of their jackets. I would bet lunch the image was stolen from their site.
The (likely) stolen image, price and awkwardly worded description are all red flags.
For the price they are charging you can find jackets by reputable makers on the secondary market.

Re: Ebay Jacket
Exhibit A - the dodgy cloned lining covering up the original collar label
Exhibit B - the raggedy edges around the lower sleeves where the magic wand selection started to fail ...
Choose wisely ... and not from this guy!

Yes this is well a image stolen from a early vintage cowhide jacket from USwings,i remember very well because it was my first order of a Indy jacket overseas,you can see they have "photoshop" the USwings tag..
Don't by to this link,or ask some true pictures of the jacket sold !

Re: Ebay Jacket
Yeah, not worth it. If your budget is in the hundred dollar range, you can easily find some second-hand jackets here on COW for a better price. Listing the material as “A+ real leather” definitely gets my alarm bells going (along with so many other details of the offering).

Re: Ebay Jacket
Thanks for the replies folks. I wasn't planning on buying one, just thought I'd see what y'all had to say. It certainly does look shady lol

Re: Ebay Jacket
I'm almost certain that is a photoshopped US Wings picture.
