I love it when I get boxes in the mail!

I received my “Old Look” cowhide jacket today from US Wings. Man, what a nice jacket! I’ve had a few sizing issues with the US Wings jackets in the past – I seem to fall between an XXL and an XL, and there was a certain amount of oversizing built in. Anyway, this XXL fits perfectly – sleeve length, torso length, etc. The weight is lighter than my vintage cowhide Cooper. This thing feels like an old favorite right out of the box. I would liken the leather’s color to what you would get in a predistressed Wested. I could go the Pecards route, and then buff the seams to bring them out, but… I’m thinking this is one to leave alone and let it age gracefully. I may catch flack for saying it but this is one pretty jacket.

Just wanted to share.

Cheers!

PS – Yes, my wife is rolling her eyes about another jacket in the “animal graveyard.”
