Just out of interest how does the USCG US Wings compare sizewise to the current issue Excelled please? I have a 40" which is a perfect fit but dont the US Wings run a bit large?
Cheers!. I have an Excelled A2 also. That is a 38"" as the 40" is too large but in the G1 the 40" is spot on and the 38" too small. Weird. So would you go for a 40" in the US Wings?I wear a 40R or 42R. The US Wings is a 44R. The fit is good, but a bit longer than I like in the back and sleeves. These do run small.
Excelled runs large. I have their A-2 in a 38R.

My new fav is an Excelled G-1 issued to my cousin who gave it to my dad who gifted it to me. It's a size 48 and 4 sizes too big but I love the thing for its sentimental value. The goat/cow? is thick!
Yes Signature series. They claim they are the only suppliers to the USCG . I thought that all G1s come through the same system from Pensacola? Or are these private purchases by local USCG stations.In their Signature G-1? Because they are all different. I would try a 42.

When I was in P-Cola, Coasties got the same USN stamped jacket as everyone else.
I believe that they started buying "premium" jacket for their aircrews at some point from discretionary funds.
I'd like to see the new Excelled. As many know, the Pharr I got as a replace in 2004 was pretty meh in terms of leather and fit.

That Excelled can be bought for $232. USA made, free shipping. The only reason I did not buy it was the fake fur.
Really? From where? The only ones I saw were on the Bay and were $400.
Pictures?
