USW vs. G&B Goatskin

Post by Cajunkraut »

As the title implies, does anyone have experience with both the goatskin US Wings Signature Series and Gibson & Barnes Expedition jackets to give comparison/contrast impressions?

Thanks in advance! :TOH:

The G&B to me is a more substantial jacket. Leather feels thicker on the G&B. The US Wings leather reminds me more of Fall/Spring jacket that needs more layering in colder weather. I actually washed and dried both my G&B goat and lamb expeditions to bring out the grain with no ill effects. Ruined a couple other well know brand jackets doing the same...…. :oops:

I figured there was no way to get a natural wear look on the G&B jackets in my remaining lifetime.....

Both leathers would take a long time to show wear. Also the G&B Brown is a really dark brown.
