hanson in TN asks who has the most accurate kangaroo leather jackets? he likes kangaroo hide because it is not legal in the PRC and is the toughest leather he owns.

U. S. Wings is the only game in town regarding 'roo jackets.

Wested used to make a 'Roo jacket, but they kept bouncing back.

And with one big pocket on the front... It was IMPOSSIBLE to zip down your jacket.

It's a very stiff leather, right fellows?

I would hope for a new stiff jacket. I have a 1990 Leather Concessionaires that still looks almost new, minor seam scuffs; but, the cotton lining is hanging by threads. I never worry about artifical aging because everything wears out soon enough anyway. Does anyone have a 'roo in 44 or 46R for sale or trade?Thanks,hanson.

I really want one of the Us wings Roo jackets, but I have less money in my car. The look of kangaroo leather is great and the stuff is so tough. Good luck.

I thought that I read somewhere that 'roo jackets tend to stretch a lil' easier than other leathers. Like if you tend to put a lot of goodies in the pockets n' such it may begin to sag after awhile. I thought I read that somewheres, but I could be wrong.
Kind Regards,
