US Wings and the Kangaroo Jacket of Doom...

After all the jacket-stuff over the last few weeks, I began to develop an affinity for the Temple of Doom jacket. It really is unique with respect to the other two. Anyway, thoses of you who know me know I really need to find a 12 step plan for leather jackets, and to make a long story a little bit shorter, my kangaroo skin US Wings Indy jacket arrived today.

WOW! This is the material ALL Indy jackets should be made from. Check out the section on US Wings that describes the weight and strength of the skin. Anybody who knows their way arounf whips knows that this stuff is really, REALLY strong. And it is very light - on the postage meter here at work it came in at 2.2 lbs, vs. 2.6 lbs for my Wested lambskin and a bit over 5 lbs for my Wested cowhide. The color is a medium-dark brown - very ToD/LC. I went from the thumbnail test up through using the end of a paperclip - the stuff would not take a scrach! Also, it had a very nice cotton (poly-cotton, I believe?) lining. A very nice jacket - I wish all mine were made from this kangaroo skin!

I tip my fedora to you, Sgt. Hack!

Cheers!
