Don't look at it! Keep your eyes SHUT! 8-[

You know, CitRon, I had this visual of you getting your jacket at long last, only to discover your very own arms had shrunk in the wash.

...that would be my luck!! I can honestly say that I am happy! It fits great!
-Sleeves come to my hand just like Indy's in CS.

Didn't I tell you that you'd love the USW?

Lets get on with the pics. I love the feeling of getting a new jacket and must say the smell, on the two occasions I have recieved one, is probably the best part.

sorry! My wife has the camera in her van, and she loves to run the roads. Gas prices mean nothing to her.

You Stink Dude I am waiting for the pics pilgrim

Okay, somebody has to do it...

Yeah....the wife had to come home at some point, right?

Please please please - want to see it.....

Time for a spanking with the belt and I am talking the buckle end.

I think this is worthy of buying a new camera....

You guys are going to be embarassed if he suddenly decided to divorce his wife and she's taken the camera along with the dog and good china.

Why? Then the old boy could get all the gear he desired and not have to worry about his camera growing legs.....like mine does.

Sorry guys, but the wife went off a cliff in the mini-van. We found her body, but no camera.

They, uh, they didn't find Venkman near the van, did they?

You know, you could have worn the CE to the scene of the accident and asked one of the investigators to snap a few shots for you.

"Hey, I know you guys are busy but..."

You should be ashamed... The man just lost his camera in a car accident... HIS CAMERA... and you have the nerve to bring up taking photographs....

you know what?...I think he is just playing uss...I dont think he has a new jacket at all....

I think you're right.. he just wanted an excuse to either get rid of his wife, or get rid of his camera...

Pics.....Pics......Pics......Pics.....

Maybe he ordered the CE in Sarge's new hot pink color and is afraid you guys will laugh at him.

Ok guys, let the spankings begin...

I sent the CE back to exchange for a VIP, and didn't get pics before I boxed it up. (ducks)

I just didn't care for the leather- it felt like a suede almost, and I just didn't like the pre-distressing. All I could think about was the cheap old 80's bomber jackets everybody wore (ducks again)

The fit though, was right on! I'm looking forward to the VIP, the Wings construction was very nice.

I understand. I think the distressing can lead to that dry suede feel you describe. After I put some Pecards lotion on my vintage cow it really took that away and made the leather much different. I wonder if the vintage has less distressing? Mine seems very nice.

I think the VIP will suit you well!

You mean after all that grief from you about getting the CE's made in long, and us campaigning with Wings to get it done, you sent it BACK??!!!

I just got a VIP yesterday, nice jacket. Fits me great, some say US Wings runs large but I don't think so at all. I'm 5'9" 180 pounds, 44 suit size got a large and I don't think it could fit any better. Just enough room to wear a sweater underneath in the winter yet not too big to just wear with a T-shirt. Sleeves were maybe a touch long but I'm sure they will contract a little. The leather is very soft with a nice grain to it, almost reminded me of a heavy goat hide but the leather is still light enough to drape nicely. I think this leather will distress very nicely over time.

you are kidding right?!!? please say you do!
cause by the look of this post you LOVED it.

As I said before, nobody is ever happy with their jackets!

I bet the people who sell these things lay awake at night and dream of taking all sorts of horrible revenge on Indiana Jones fans...

In this case, you may be right!

I would love to see the normal vintage next to a LE or CE-

I posted pics a while ago of my vintage. Go back a couple pages and you'll see my post.

Just goes to show that we all have different tastes. I really liked the look and feel of the CE leather (although I can sort of see your suede take). Since I didn't want to mess with the color, I put leather lotion on it and it made the leather a more supple with a different feel to it.

Exactly correct about the leather lotion.

I haven't worn mine for more than a few minutes as it's really for colder weather with the cotton lining. I'm sure it will break in nicely when the season turns.
