I have the "Old Cow" jacket and love it. It is tough as nails! The only complaint is that its not quite dressy enough for some occasions. I knew that when I bought it. I just need two jackets!

: Today may well have been the best day personally since I've been in San Diego. After a morning of perfect inspections and beating some of my own all-time bests in a physical screening, the mail finally yielded the black Indy jacket from US Wings that I had been waiting for since September!
: In too much of a frenzy to wait, I tore open the box and threw the jacket on over a set of wet, sandy cammo fatigues (dumb, dumb, DUMB), and found it very difficult to stop humming the Raiders March (much to the bemusement of my roommates).
: A very fine piece of work, indeed--if I have any complaints at all, it would be that I sort of expected the jacket to be a bit heavier with perhaps the leather just a bit thicker, but hey; it's going to do the job, especially when all a boy wants to be is warm and dry after work is secured for the day.
: Right away, I had to make the jacket a little more personal with a few items for those big cargo pockets. A hand gripper, a tin of Altoids, mom's rosary, and after some inner debate, a Leatherman tool (I've long considered one of the stupidest ways to go is to be beaten and tortured to death with your own Leatherman......)
: This jacket and I are going to get along very well.
: Anyone else have any comments, hopefully nice ones, on US Wings jackets? At the very least, you gotta love the "Made In USA" tag.
: Let's be careful out there.
