Club Obi Wan

It's been awhile, and we've moved to a new place, so I thought I'd post an updat of my three favorite Indy jackets.

Wings SL US made Legend


Wings AC Hero


Wings AC Hero. In my mind, the Indy-est jacket I own!


Wings Bison Legend. What the pics don't tell you is how incredibly good it feels to wear.


That's all for now!

thanks for the update. Those Jackets are looking great. I am sure your biggest problem is figuring out which one to wear!

Oh man those are fantastic!! I agree with Canada, how on earth do you choose??

Kind regards

It's an ordeal sometimes, but I manage to struggle through it!

Thanks!

Quality!
The Legend is stunning.... All three are top quality! Very good stuff!
(My second Wested was ordered, and accidentally sent to my Mum in the UK instead of to Japan, which probably worked out for the best, since I'd like a non-radioactive jacket at the moment I think.. All things considered! )

Yeah, that Antique Cow Hero just SCREAMS Last Crusade!!!

I could look at these ALL day, Weston... Those jackets are gorgeous!

Glad you like them!

What prompted me to post updated pics was a guy from Russia asking for more pics of the Bison. He wanted a better idea what he would be getting before committing to whatever international shipping charges there would be. I thought it would be a good time to get a few shots of the other jackets.

I've had the AC Hero since last summer, and it has been my primary jacket all through the winter. The other two are much finer, high end jackets, and are a pleasure to wear, but for some reason I almost always end up grabbing the Hero. That said, I'm going try to wear the Bison through the spring and really break it in.

I had one more of the SL I forgot to post at the top of the thread.

mine looks exactly like yours now after I washed the SL. it's a nice jacket. alittle tight in the shoulders tho when you cross your arms forward. know what I mean?

I do. It takes a long time for it to loosen up, and requires alot of leather dressing afterward. It's a slim fitting jacket from the outset so as the leather tightens up, you notice it. I've finally got mine just right; fits like a glove and the leather doesn't strain when I move.

Weston the Wings SL US made Legend is awesome!

USW really found a niche with the antique cowhide they have been using. I think many of us get an Indy jacket, then set about distressing it. These look distressed right out of the box. One of the things that I prefer is cow, lighter weight, antiqued/distressed leather and that has made all the difference. My antique Legend is one of the few Indy jackets I have that provides at least some amount of warmth, as well.

Gotta chime in on the Antique Cowhide Hero lovefest. That thing just got me through the winter and I used it on all but the coldest or wettest of days. It's like slipping on my own skin. I feel so comfortable in it, and it takes pretty much everything I throw at it.

My only problem just popped up today where I noticed that one of the side straps is coming off the jacket. I've emailed Dave Hack about it and hope to get a reply soon, as I'm not sure what to do about it. I hate to think I'd have to go without my jacket.

The jackets look good, Weston!

I've had a time breaking in the bison, too...it's such an unsual leather...soft as all get-out, but it just wears so TOUGH and hard to break in...

And yet, it's the "nicest" looking leather I have...if that makes sense...rugged, yes, but so soft and supple...

It's just an unusual leather...

Great jackets!

Like the SL Legend... but that AC Hero is really something.

I love all of these jackets. I only have the AC Hero of these and it's possibly my favorite. Would love to see one of the Striated Lambs in person, the washing of it really brings out an amazing quality.

Awesome!!

Every single one of those jackets looks great. The thing that's really cool about the legend is because of the way it's cut (especially the V shaped back panel) it has a slimming effect on the wearer - not that you need it, but some people here do. Now if I can only get that artificial curl in the collar to go away, it'd give the appearance of broader shoulders.

Does anyone else here think the pockets in the Hero pattern seem a bit too large??
