: Dear Baldwyn,

: I will be back to Bay Area on Friday. Please e-mail me if you can, so that I can send you my phone number and we can arrange the meeting.

: Best,

: Azuma

: : : Hi, Baldwyn,

: : : I don't know why, but you look like someone I knew. Where are you? BTW, I just ordered a FS lambskin at FS in person, since I think goat is really hard too me. Some how the goat looks softer and nice on you. Maybe I should change my order. Is yours in tall or reqular size? Is it in dark brown or seal brown?

: : Mine's a 40R, in dark brown (chrome). It looks much better today
: : than yesterday, when I got it If you're still in the SF area, and
: : want to take a look, let me know!

: : Baldwyn

: : : :
: : : : Not really a fair comparison, since they're different designs, and
: : : : different leathers. As for my impression of the Flightsuits, it
: : : : certainly has a great Indy look to it, right off the bat! When I
: : : : opened up my Wested, it took me a few days to like it. I like
: : : : the substance of the goatskin, although I know it doesn't have the
: : : : same effect lambskin does for achieving all that Harrison's jacket
: : : : did (in the way it drapes, and flies around in fight scenes). I was
: : : : a little disappointed in the unevenness of stitches, especially on
: : : : the straps of the Expedition, however. I was expecting top notch
: : : : quality, and deviations in the straightness of the seams while slight, are still noticeable. The pointy end of my pleat straps are
: : : : practically unravelling. I can show scans of what I mean, if people
: : : : are interested. The brightness of the zipper stands out as well. But
: : : : all in all, I'm very happy with the way the jacket looks, and I'm
: : : : looking forward to seeing it after the leather breaks in!
