Yes it is! It is my "go to" jacket from about mid Sept. to probably May. After that, it gets too warm for it. I found a wool zip up sweather with a flannel liner from LL Bean that fits under it real nice for when the therometer drops. I noticed on their website, that the price sure has gone up...
It's been -30 to -40C a few times here this winter! I wear my US Authentic A2 with a hoodie, but if I'm outside for awhile, it's the heavy duty Carhartt with a hoodie!
A2 update 1 year later! Well I've had the jacket for a little over a year now. Only wear it in late fall to early spring, and of course all winter. Jacket is breaking in very nicely, lots of creases! Leather has rolled up at the zippers, but it looks good! Amazing jacket, and I've learned to...
After a little over a month of owning/wearing my jacket, it is breaking in very nicely! Most of the stiffness is gone! It is developing some nice creases and wrinkles, and I have gotten use to having only 2 pockets! I really like it!!:D
I took accurate measurements of my chest, arm length, shoulder to shoulder, height and weight, and emailed them to Shaul, and he recommended a 48R. I was thinking along the lines of a 48Tall, as I have a Carhartt in 48 Tall, and it fits well. the 48R fits me very well! Sleeves are a tad long...
No worries, no offence taken!! I didn't get the jacket soaking wet, I only wiped it with a damp cloth. That will be the extent of my "aging" process. The reason I didn't buy a jacket already aged, with more pockets, is because I was really unsure about the ones at US Wings. Didn't want to get it...
I got the jacket a bit damp, and sat on the couch, and rung, twisted, bunched it up for a couple of hours, (good exercise for grip strength), and can't believe the results! Almost looks like a aged one! Leather isn't near as stiff as it was earlier!! A good pass time while watching Olympic...
Just picked up my new horse hide A2 from US Authentic today from the Post Office!! Couldn't believe how small a box they packed it in! Actually though for a moment, that they sent me a kids jacket or a vest! Jacket is one bad ass piece of hide!! I wanted a thick jacket, and think I wouldn't want...
Tried some Czech absinthe, it sells here in Alberta, and it was soooo bitter, like floor cleaner!! No matter what I mixed with it, it tasted awful!! Hard to get a good buzz, when you can't get by the taste!!
