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?)
