Just an FYI that the Small sized Blue Label jackets are no longer on the US Wings site.
I daresay we'll start seeing some of the other sizes disappear soon, considering there would have only been about 9 jackets in each size bracket.

And actually, while I think of things disappearing, I'm going to archive the text here for when people ask about the background of these jackets in the future:
USW Blue Label™ Indy-style
Vintage Adventurer Jacket
Our Blue Label™ jacket line features jackets with the same high quality as our USA-made Signature Series™ line, but are made by our overseas factory located in the renowned garment district of Hong Kong. This allows us to offer this high quality jacket at a more affordable price than our American-made counterpart.
Our Blue Label™ Vintage Indy-style Adventurer Jacket is made from a slightly different pattern than our standard Signature Series™ Adventurer pattern. This jacket is a reproduction of a 20+ year old jacket given to Sgt. David Hack (CEO of US Wings) by an original manufacturer in the early 1980s. Among its various differences are smaller pockets, slightly deeper action pleats, and longer side straps.
Although the original jacket was constructed from lambskin, our reproduction is constructed from a more durable vintage cowhide leather and features two front cargo pockets with side-entry handwarmers, bi-swing action back, adjustable side straps, nylon-acetate lining, one interior leather-trimmed zippered pocket, and a heavy duty front zipper. Full cut for a roomy, comfortable fit.
