I'm just wondering. Do you think Wested will offer a kangaroo-hide Indy jacket in the near future? Just saw a pic on uswings.com. Awesome looks!

What about deerskin? That would be even better.

-Really? If my memory serves me correctly kangaroo is the most durable hide, followed by goat and after that; deerskin.

I'd like to have a Wested (or maybe a FS) in 'roo-hide as well, but if you read a little about it on the webpage of USWINGS, it sounds pretty hard to get your hands on that skin outside Australia.

Regards,

Marc

Deerskin is hard to get too. That's why FS had to discontinue theirs. They could no longer source the leather. It'd be interesting to see what Peter could find. I agree that Kangaroo would be great. Cheers
