Hey all,
Been a long long time since I posted and I keep telling myself that I would share this one day.
In 2011, I bought a US Wings Indy jacket. It was their "Legend" model, imported, antique cowhide. I bought it because I wasn't happy with my Wested jacket that I had purchased which wasn't Wested's fault to begin with as I made some mistakes.
When my USW jacket arrived, it was already much closer to what I wanted. Here I am a little over 8 years later and I've never wanted any other Indy jacket. I wear it every year when the weather permits. I subscribed to the Michaelson school of thought regarding distressing from day 1. The jacket has taken on a nice color and distressing all from regular wear and I'm really happy with it. The liner has held up very well and I expect it to continue for more years to come. I thought I'd share pictures of a jacket that has gone through this process. The lighting doesn't do it full justice as the pictures were taken indoors. Maybe when the weather is better and it's daylight outside, I can take some more pictures. (I think I the way I shared this pictures is allowed by forum rules?)

That is a beautiful jacket! I wish I would have bought one when they still had them. They really should bring back the Legend series.
Thank you for posting those pics! It is always good to see jackets...

Naturally aged to perfection. If you've got 8 years to spare, that's the way to go.
