Thanks for the info. Sounds like goatskin is the way to go. I have the cowhide VIP, which is a great jacket, but dislike its heavy weight. Is the USWings goatskin Indy relatively light in weight? If it is, that might be my next jacket purchase. Thanks again!

Regards,
Zippy

: It was never stiff. -Soft like buttah from day one. EVERYONE who's seen the jacket compliments me on it, friends, family, the guy at the tailor who did the sleeves, everyone.

: As to wear, I've had it about 3 months now. I wear it EVERY minute I can (kinda' bummed now that the heat is here.) I find myself going out of my way to rub up against stuff (stone/brick/stucco walls, trees, etc.) So far about all the wear you could see is the faintest hint of a scratch or two (tiny) around the lower cuff area. You'd really have to be looking for it though. A normal person (read : non-IndyFan type) would say the jacket looks brand new. We'll see how it goes once I get to wear it for a full cold weather season and beyond.

: Bottom line is I love this jacket. It replaced one I'd had for 15 years (cow hide.) It took a long time for me to find the right one, but this is definitely it.
