Did you by any chance use a leather conditioner on that jacket? I'm asking, because I once had a real soft lambskin jacket, which began to make that kind of squeaky noise as soon as I applied a conditioner that contained a lot of wax. Sadly, this noise didn't go away... On the plus side, the jacket became almost totally waterproof (Not at the seams though.). ;)
As for my Wested, it still looks like new - after six months of wearing it quite often (even in bad weather). I'm actually glad that this leather doesn't age rapidly, since the lambskin is so thin.
Based on the FS leather samples, I must say that the deerskin is my favorite. Like you, I would like to see a photo of someone actually wearing the FS jacket!

: Do you feel that it's the creme de la creme of Indy jackets? Does it have THE Raiders look and character? The more I look at my Wested the more it seems like a totally different style jacket. I've got the lambskin and it NEVER distresses. It still looks brand new and makes a "vinyl pants" type sound when I move. I have what I think is a Cooper, it was purchased back in '90 at a department store. The leather is a little too light in color but it distresses very well. But this jacket doesn't have "the look" either. That's why I'm so curious to see what people say about the Flight Suits jacket. Does it feature the same characteristics of the Raiders jacket? Does it hang and look the way Indy's did? Is the leather color a match, and does it distress nicely?
