: : Hey Mich, Maybe I was expecting something simuliar to the Wested lambskin. The Wings lamb, that I recieved, was very different in texture and weight. Cheers, -29yr.old Indy
Yep - the US Wings lamb is a vintage tannage that ages very fast. It's nothing like the Wested or FS leathers. I kinda like it, but it is different from either the Wested of FS leathers. Very ToD, if you know what I mean.
On the Pecards and OC? Well, it will darken it a bit, but not by much. I could see taking it down a few shades with very slight applications of brown boot polish, but that's an experiment I've not done first hand and would not ever give any warranty to - "Don't try this at home, kids!" It's a nice jacket, but would certainly not be what I'd go with if it were my only jacket.
Hey - I happen to ahve a spare if anybody's interested?
Cheers!
Patterson
