: : : Those david morgan whips everyone is talking about.....are they strong enough to support your body weight so you can swing on it like indy does?

I have NEVER understood paying someone extra to pre-wear out a garment for me. I have had the same A-2, from the 1979 era, and it actually looks better today than when I bought it, and believe me, it has been through LOTS of adventures with me. I also have a Wested Leather jacket in production as this is being written. The A-2 will be retired, but my two teenage daughters are currently jockeying for position to try to wrestle it from old dad, since it IS in such good shape. I agree with the above message. Weather them yourself. You'll appreciate every line and wrinkle in it, because everyone of them will tell their own story, one's YOU wrote! Regards. Michaelson
