I am considering getting a US Wings Labmskin Barnstormer vest & was wondering how durable it is? All that I've encountered is Wested's horsehide & Nowak's Crystal Skull leather.

Thanx!!!

Not certain which vest you are referring too, is it the Cockpit Sterman vest http://www.uswings.com/vests.asp" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ? If so, I had one of these -- not purchased from Wings, but another site and it was extremely durable. W>

I have one of the Legend lambskin prototypes, and have to say I've been VERY impressed with its durability.

But, back to my question re: his question -- is this a vest you are referring to Mark, or the jacket? W>

Doesn't matter. They're both made from the same sourced hide, but in my case I'm talking about a jacket.
His original question is 'US Wings lambskin durability'. That's why I bothered to reply.

Yes I was referring to the steerman vest. I have been wanting one for a while & I was considering getting one along with an urban adventure jacket. I just need to know what the back length of the 3X long jacket is now.

Thanx!!!

Thanks Mark...Your answer did, as usual, truly answer the question for him. I guess I was thinking cut/style over 'hide.' My bad! However, the great news, is that I also learned even more! I didn't know they were from the same sourced hides -- thanks, again! W>

I'd say hides for vests would be easier to source than for jackets, considering the size of the animals and the amount of material required to make a vest vs jacket.

The urban adventure jacket is $300 off this month. Hmmm...
