: Sit back now friends and hear a tale.
: A tale of hard fought quest,
: That started on the world wide web
: To find the jacket-best.

: A V.I.P. from US Wings,
: Well made but too much grain.
: Exchanged it for a Vintage Cow.
: The lining was a shame.

: So then off to merry olde,
: Where folks at Wested tried.
: I ordered up a Last Crusade,
: New finish, lambtouch hide.

: But 'ere a day or two had passed
: While reading posts galore.
: I now had far more questions asked.
: Fewer answers than before.

: Single but not double-stitched?
: Odd collars, lost snaps, a tear?
: With fashion aspirations but no mil-spec hardware?

: Unsure about the choice I'd made,
: I called and cancelled quick.
: Then set about to more research
: To clarify my pick.

: Flightsuits was the next in line,
: Of whom were good things said.
: Their Expedition jackets-
: To further vex my head.

: For me to browse their samples sent:
: Of goat, of horse, of cow.
: Comparing each against the next,
: Oh, what would I do now?

: With squares in hand I chose the goat.
: It seemed to be the stuff.
: So strong yet light and finely grained.
: What else to clad the gruff?

: So it would be the Flightsuits then?
: But pattern problems loomed.
: Too-big bodies, sleeves too short,
: It looked like I was doomed.

: Fear not, remember US Wings?
: Not their fault, my selections.
: Get the Sarge back on the horn.
: A GOATSKIN Indy, ahh perfection.

: So I ordered one two days ago.
: Tough customer but mean no harm.
: Red-faced to have to call again,
: Hoping third time is a charm.

: So wait with me, you Indyfans.
: We'll pass the time together,
: Until the day my jacket comes,
: Resplendent me, in leather.

: And when the day of truth arrives,
: Delivered on a truck.
: I'll fill you in on all details,
: As if you give a f#ck!
