    Long Time no See

    Sweetfights, I do hope you post pics when you receive that jacket. I think their sidewinder is one of the coolest looking jackets out there. Not sure I could pull it off myself unfortunately

    Long Time no See

    Got back from vacation Sunday, and I gotta say both Langlitz and Johnson are awesome. Turns out Johnson can source roo on request, for a fee. At this point I'm between a langlitz crescent in goat, and a Johnson n200 (or something based on it) in kangaroo. Really tough call. I like Johnsons...

    Long Time no See

    Mark I definitely appreciate that advice, and you're absolutely right. I imagine its going to be a couple months yet, actually maybe three or four. My wife and I are both in the home stretch of our weight lose journey, and I can appreciate how much difference even 20lbs can make. Mainly I'm just...

    Long Time no See

    Bummer about Chicago, though it would be cool to tour the Horween tannery next time I get over there (if they do that) I did foresee that kangaroo might be a big ask, not super worried about cost, but from an availability aspect. I’ll have to ask around when I call makers. Really though, I did...

    Long Time no See

    Greeting Lounge! I haven't actually posted here in a very long time (nearly 4 years in fact), mainly because I haven't been wearing leather jackets as of late. I've had only two jacket, one crummy Wilson's riding jacket and one G1 from U.S.Wings. Over the last year or so my wife and I have...

    US Wings Urban Adventurer Black goat

    If you do decide to get one of these, please post fit pictures. I have a G1 by them that I quite like, aside from the bi swing that tends to poof out. I've been considering one of their adventure jackets, but I'm just a bit worried about the "slim" fit as I am a slightly round kind of guy.

    U.S. Wings G1

    First and foremost gentlemen, I apologize for the wait, it has been a hectic few days to say the least. I also apologize for the "selfie" style pics, they are not the best. all that aside, first we have an overall view of the jacket after alteration. next we have a closer view of the sleeve...

    U.S. Wings G1

    U.S. Wings G1

    ya know, I did think about that. but by the time I pay shipping to them and back, It would be the same cost as the tailor I dropped it off at. Besides, Ive been needing to find a local tailor anyway and the guy I found seems pretty competent. I should have it back in about a week at which time I...

    U.S. Wings G1

    Thanks everyone for the feedback, I'll be sending it to a tailor as soon as I find one that does leather around me. I will take some "before" pics of the jacket and fit tonight after work

    U.S. Wings G1

    I know it wont actually shrink, and you make a good point, it is goat so I would imagine it wont crease the way my cow hide motorcycle jacket has. Its looking like I need to find a tailor that does leather in my area.

    U.S. Wings G1

    So after a long search for a jacket on a budget I decided to order a US Wings G1 in USCG spec. Just got it in today and so far I feel like the torso fit is good, and the fit and finish are what I would expect for a 230 dollar coat. If I have one complaint at the moment, its that the arms...

    Leather jacket question

    I can actually speak a little to the quality of Wilsons Leather, since their stuff is still quite common in the midwest. make no mistake, its not top notch stuff. however, my riding jacket is my Wilsons and it feels as thick as armor while being soft as well (the later quality did take some...

    first post and winter coat question

    thank you for the quick reply winterland. new vs used isn't really an issue for me. I love the vintage stuff, and I'm hitting my local thrift shops hard to get a good deal. only issue im running into is that I am a bigger man (typically about 2x) this is mainly due to wide shoulders. I feel...
