Club Obi Wan

Hi, I'm new here. I've been lurking for a couple weeks deciding what jacket was right for me. I've decided upon a US Wings cowhide. I'm still not sure if I want vintage or VIP so if you got pics, feel free to share them!.

I was just wondering if any owners of this jacket would be so kind as to post the dimensions of the jacket as Todd did with his. That was very helpful for me when ordering to know that'd it fit me right. I know that sizes are the biggest issue with these jackets.

Also, if this doesn't fit me right, I've read a member brought the cuffs up. That's something I have a feeling I might need to do. Where do you get that done and how much does that cost?

Thanks!

I would suggest calling them and trying to get someone to grab the jacket you want and measure it for you while on the phone.
They did it for my clearance jackets, so I don't see why they wouldn't on a full-price one.
If you do get measurements from an owner here, make sure to ask if their jacket was an import, VIP, etc. I believe from reading some posts before that the measurements were different. Don't know for sure.
Are you also aware of the upcoming redesigned one that they're working on?
It's discussed here:

Good luck!

I didn't think to call them. I emailed them and never got a response. I guess I can do that sometime this week. Thanks for the tip.

Screen accuracy isn't the most important thing to me. I prefer functionality to aesthetics. I bought and returned Todd's Standard. I hastily bought that and was disappointed at how thin it was. I want a winter jacket, and from what I've read on here, USW is the best choice for that.

And I'm confused at all the offerings from this company. The old vs the new vs this redesign. Does anyone here own the jackets available now? I know Michaelson has the VIP and says that's his favorite of the bunch. Is that the same model being offered today or what? I'm most interested in the vintage cowhide at the moment, but the VIP is a very attractive looking jacket.
