is that 27 inches from the base of the colar where it attaches to the body? If so thats def a big difference and id love that extra size.

In other words, PayPal basically takes the money from your bank and pays the merchant (minus fees), so the charge would be posted to your card account very shortly thereafter. I'm sure USW has your order marked as 'pre-paid' and you most likely will be among the first recipients.

Sounds good, and it would explain whats going on, problem with calling is I work 10 hour days at a place where cell phone use is a fast ticket home. can't call untill friday. Hope by then I don't have to, and I'll be sporting a new jacket, or at least lookin' at an email sayin' I'll be sportin' it soon,

Thanks

I have the reverse build to you - a big gut! It ate up what little length my Wested had. I love to show a comparison pic, but I the few pictures taken of my in my Wested were posed, and I tended to adjust it before hand. However, for illustration purposes, here is the shortest USW I own, with a 50 inch stomach in XXL. Also, I have short legs and a long torso (but not enough for a 'tall' size).



My Wested COULD look this long, but only if I stood still. One move and the front who come right up to the belt.

nice jacket!

And, just as a thought on this Memorial Day eve....I don't think Sarge would mind if I shared this with you...he and I think enough alike about this that I might as well be posting my own thoughts...

You know I really don’t know what SA really is because we make jackets to not only feel and look good but hold up to the test of time! It is a stone fact that Disney for the past 20 years have been buying our Cow Indy Jackets and giving them to their major stock holders.. You have to ask yourself a very simple question.. Why ? Most are aware I am a business man and to me that is smart business. I and Neil think a like when it comes to all the back and forward who made what.. Bottom line is.. What you see on the screen and what is in the real world is not the same thing.. Today I put up a link on my main page today and that link is the Wall.. Those that gave their all so we as Americans can be free and we all should never forget that.
Now back to the Indy Hero Jacket.. They will be sent to all that wish to receive them in the next ten days.

I've got some thoughts about this SA thing lately...and I'm trying to figure a tactful way to present them...but I don't know how tactful it's going to come out. But, regardless, know this-when you're buying Wings...you are buying a REAL Indy jacket. About the only other jacket that I have ANY personal experience with, that I would also put up against a Wings jacket, is Gibson and Barnes' Expedition.

Just a few thoughts, guys...don't mean to offend anyone who is completely into the analyzing of screen accuracy when it comes to the jackets-I was there myself, once upon a time. But guys-let me leave you with this thought....if your Indy jacket is sitting around in your closet, or (heaven forbid) on a mannequin somewhere in your study (yes, I had one that I had JUST for my mannequin once, too)....are you living a life worthy of the man who wore that jacket?

I believe we've heard it enough in the last couple of months..."It's just a fu$%in' jacket!!!!" What's important are the adventures you have in life. Get out there with that jacket and get it some REAL distressing! Get in a bar fight in it and get thrown against a brick wall (did that once); get thrown off a horse wearing it (yep, did that, too), heck..just go walking through the woods in it, let the tree branches rub against the leather, scratch it up some...then Pecard the dang thing and get back out there for more!!!

Live your lives, gentlemen!!! We only get to do this thing once....but, if we do it right, once should be enough!!!!

Highest Regards!

Must be why whenever I go by an Abercrombie and Fitch, and see their type of clientele walking out, I kinda want to do the same thing.

Hello M,

The Lining is the same as we use on our Current Issue A-2 and the leather is type A and the Collar is the same collar and weight as the Indy Hero you received!

Now back to the Indy Hero Cow.. Yes I made this Jacket for the COW members in mind.. We have 150 hand made( NOT MADE ON THE LINE) and when I can call all The Fans first I will ship all of them at the same time ! Tomorrow I will be out of town and Fri. I will ask Myke to start calling and e-mail COW Members first.. I will not send any jackets out to any other customers first .

The Lightweight New Zealand Indy will go out the first week of July.
