Does anyone have exact measurements of wings jackets. I know there have been sizing problems in the past. I specifically am look looking for the sleeve lenght. I usually order my westeds 26 1/2. I only hope that a large us wings have long sleeves.

My large VIP Wings has 25 1/2" sleeves.

Has anyone ever been able to get US wings to make the sleeves longer?

If you're still thinking about the limited edition jacket, I'd drop David another email and ask if it would be possible, since they're only making the 100 jackets, he could at least consider the possibility, as they don't do custom stuff.

They told me at customer service that the sleeve length is purposefully oversized, meaning extra long so you can shorten it yourself. They said it's designed to hang down to the first knuckles.

Well I just can't decide what to do. I would like to have a jacket in that hide but if it dosent look like the Indy IV jacket it is hade to justify getting it. I keep waiting for the movie so we can get some good KotCS options that are affordable. I am holding out hope that Todd will do a copy of the film jacket. I just can't get over the wings back panel.

hey guys- I emailed them about this as I wear a 44 Long; he said he was NOT going to make any jackets in Long out of that leather!

I see that US Wings has its new limited edition pre-distressed Indy jacket on its website. This might have been posted earlier.

Nice looking jacket.

It's the same leather that the Indy IV jackets are made from. They bought up the remaining 3000 feet of the hide run from the tanner. Nice color indeed!
