ORDERED AN EXPEDITION!
Hello all from the new guy,
Well, This has been an expensive day. After checking out the "Received my Expedition", link and checking out the pics I jumped sites and ordered the Expedition Brown Lambskin. Earlier this morning I ordered the Indy ROLA-SOC Fedora from Steve at Adventurebilt.
I think my credit card is melting.
Please tell me I will be happy
Thanks,
John
March 27 Ship Date

Indy Jim,
My one Wings jacket is just softening up also. One I have not really worn yet. To be completely honest, I know the Wings jacket has numerous screen inaccuracies and is not quite the Craftsmanship as the Wested. But if I were being dragged behind a truck I would most certainly rather be wearing the Wings. They are made out of some tough lambskin. And a lot heavier and warmer which is nice in Chicago where I will only be able to wear my Wested in late Spring and early Fall. Each which lasts about a week here.

Exactly. I was wearing my Wings New Zealand lamb during the brief cold spell we had in December. Very well suited for that. Lately, I've been wearing the Expo (goat) or my goat A2. Perfect for the upper 50's today.
The goat Expo is coming along nicely as well. I recently gave it another goat of Pecards which made it look almost like shiny vinyl but that has since been absorbed and has really helped the softening process. But you just gotta wear it! I'm sure you are champing at the bit to get your jacket. Mine came in about 5 days early. Really a nice surprise!

My Wings lamb has the 1 piece back, no seam in the middle. Same with my Wings VIP, 1 piece. The lamb does have the 3 piece sleeves but this doesn't bother me. I actually am only about 60 miles from Wings, so when I got my lamb, I drove over to get it and tried on both the L and XL. Truthfully, I wasn't really paying a lot of attention to the back on the XL. As soon as I tried it on I knew it was too big, so I examined it no further. I don't know about a cutoff point, probably depends more on simply what, if any, hides are available, big enough to make a 1 piece back. I think some of the large and possibly even smaller sizes may have had 2 piece backs. I still love the color and the feel of the leather though. Different than my other jackets.
