Actually, my understanding is that Sgt. Hack has been unable to find a supplier who can supply him with more than just a small quantity of this stuff. I have no knowledge of the status of the cow population in France.
: : My cowhide VIP Indy jacket is very dark brown, close enough in color to my seal brown horsehide A-2 to call it "seal brown" (maybe even a tiny bit darker). The lining is a reddish-brown 50/50 nylon-acetate lining. VERY nice leather -- rugged but very soft, nice graining, no squeak. Has two inside pockets in addition to the 2 cargo/handwarmer pockets on the front. Made from imported french cowhide, which apparently is in short supply.

: : : Just wondering but what are the colors of the USWings Indy jackets? I know they're brown but what shade and what are the colors of the linings. The pics at USwings probably doesn't do any of the jackets justice so I thought I'd ask the USWing owners themselves of the color that each jacket and their linings possess.
