Hey folks,
I figured it was only a matter of time before this thread came about, so I decided it was time...I'm sure there's a couple of you guys out there with both the US Wings Limited Edition AND the Tony Nowak Limited Edition...I really really want to know how these two jackets compare...from the leather to the construction, well, everything!

I, myself, own two US Wings LE jackets (one S and one M) and couldn't be happier! I felt golden at the midnight showing with THAT leather draped around me...SO...

Post pics of either one (both if you have them), post comments about applicable details, or whatever else you think should be known...I'll start with some pics of my US Wings Small:

These are pics of the size Small...(I'm just saving my medium until I finally decide to buy a house and need to sell it)...Cheers!

That jacket looks pretty sweet!!! I think I contacted TN too late to get one... it's been 3 days since I wrote to him with no response :cry:

I look forward to seeing the USW goat you sent me though! Any sign of the G&B goat yet?

Thanks! It feels even better...most comfortable jacket I've ever worn! No sign of the jacket yet, but I can feel it's presence approaching...any sign of yours? I wish the postal services gave us more info...

nah... as you say, there's little on the websites to tell you exactly what the progress is. I'll let you know when it turns up though...

Anyway... we better stick to the thread (I'll email you later) :wink:

By the way, I know there's a few pics of some TN's in other threads...the goal of this thread is to get some pics side by side for comparison, as well as comments about the differences (pros/cons). Bring 'em on!

I'll try to post some side by side pics later, but really, without taking a picture of the two jackets together, it would be hard to really compare. Judging from your pics, the pockets look a little larger than my TN and the horizontal line on the back of the jacket of yours looks higher up than on mine. It could be the angle of the shot too. Regardless, nice jacker there.

I will try and post pics of both later. The US Wings pockets are indeed much bigger than the TN.

I wonder how many own both of these jackets (or at least own a USW LE and have the TN on order)...even if you don't have pics, lets just see how many own both of these rarities!
