Club Obi Wan

I've been trying to distress my goatskin jacket, and I finally found that rubbing it on my driveway is pretty effective. It still takes time. I've spent a few minutes at a time on probably five occasions. But here is what it looks like right now.

Looking good Bruce. Are you happy with the jacket, what's your opinion after some time?

I really like it. You can't beat the price.

I've never seen any other Indy jackets in person, so I can't compare them to anything. But, it's comfortable and looks good. My only complaint would be the buckles on the back are a little odd because they leave the extra leather from the straps pointed toward the center of the back and they curl outward. Hopefully that make sense, but you can see it in the pictures. https://photos.app.goo.gl/SmkEAzENDxcJmvyt9

Of course, I'm putting a lot of work into getting it distressed. Maybe I should have just bought a distressed Wested or something.

No it's better when you self distress.

Ordered mine Wednesday during the black Friday sale. Received on Saturday. Shot some photos on Sunday.

toddf,

Your jacket looks good! And extra points for getting good outdoor/action pics to show it off.


Regards,

Indiana Jeff

Great photos. I ordered one too, just shipped. Goes to show you don't need to age the jacket up for it to look great!

Anybody happen to order a size small get a sleeve measurement? Sleeves are always tricky for me with USW jackets in the past.

I upgraded the rest of my gear since the previous pictures were posted, so here's something more recent.
Hat: Akubra Fed IV
Jacket: US Wings Goatskin
Boots: Alden
Shirt and pants: close-enoughs from the thrift store, pants custom hemmed by me.
Bag: vintage surplus

Looks great!

Any one has the picture of this jacket? https://www.uswings.com/product/signatu ... er-jacket/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Is it different from cow signature?
