: I received my Flightsuits Expedition jacket today, and I am very pleased. The workmanship is impecable. The look of the jacket is awesome too. Mine was made in lambskin. I am pleased that I chose this type of leather, as it is extremely comfortable, and drapes perfectly over my shoulders. The fit is excellent. I ordered a size 46, which is my usual suit jacket size. The sleeve length is perfect, and the body fits very well too. It has a nice sized inner pocket on the left side of the jacket. The opening is wide, and the depth of the pocket itself is substantial. The waist length is perfect for the Raider's style. All it neeeds is some breakin and weathering. I think I will wear the hell out of it and allow it to age and shape naturally, rather than try and jack around with sandpaper and Pecards. Lamb traditionally breaks in easily and well. I chose lambskin based on the expert recs of the Flightsuit staff, as they feel that this is their premium leather. Their experiance is substantial, and it was told to me that the leather and jacket will only get better each time I wear it. Granted, I do not plan to use this jacket for work activities, or put it through hard abuse.

: Congrats! I got my Expedition jacket today too. It is a good match to the one worn in ROTLA! I am disappointed, though, because it is a little too bulky in the chest and waist( the side straps do not have the same adjustment range as the Wested jacket) and the sleeves are a bit short. I ordered a size 44R, which is my Wested jacket size, but it looks as if I need to try a 42L. Oh well, I'll ship it back to FS, wait a little while longer, and hope to get it right next time.
