I've had my new finish lambskin Wested Raiders jacket for about a year and a half now and the leather still kinda "squeaks". I'm pretty sure Indy wouldn't have put up with a coat that tips off bad guys you're sneaking up on by makin' a balloon-rubbin' sound every time ya move or bend your arm. I noticed this sound as soon as I tried it on for the first time and I figured it'd go away as the jacket got broken in, but it's still there. So then I figured it was a lambskin characteristic, but I've since purchased a lambskin A-2 from USWings which doesn't squeak.
So I'm just wondering if anyone else's noticed this about their Westeds, lambskin or otherwise. And I wonder, for those of you who've seen the new Flight Suits coat, if this jacket squeaks too.
