Comparing leathers from different tanneries is nearly impossible. I currently own 8 jackets made from Shinki HH and the variation is tremendous, both in terms of weight and finish.
I handled and tried on several ELMC jackets a few years ago and the Italian HH used on those jackets was...
Unless you work outside, the notion of wearing a leather jacket "at work" is something of a misnomer. For those who work indoors -- e.g., in an office and/or at a desk -- wearing a jacket "at work" often means nothing more than wearing a jacket from your car door to your office door. Wearing a...
@Seank That is a great looking jacket and leather. I am seriously considering a Thedi as my next jacket -- perhaps the same leather.
Any chance you are in So Cal. I would love to see the jacket in person.
^ Height is the key distinguishing factor. I am 6'-6'1'' with a long torso. It appears that you are shorter. A 59 mm length jacket would fall above my belt and look like a bolero jacket on me. You might be able to pull it off. People 5'10'' tall can wear a broader array of OTR jackets.
Trust me, its a short jacket. A 59 mm back length on a size 42 (56 mm chest) is very short. 61 mm is short on a 42. 59 mm is unusually short. @Marc mndt 's jeans in the above photo are low waisted and yet the bottom of his RRL jacket still falls below his belt. The Bodie is shorter and...
Thanks @Mich486 . Great looking jacket, BUT . . . insanely short in back. Check out the HUGE drop from the front length to the back length:

Oh well, another jacket candidate bites the dust.
^ That is a great looking jacket. It looks similar to the new Rebels, but its not. Where did you find that @Marc mndt ? Does anyone know the model name?
Numbers do not always work, but they are a very good start when deciding whether to purchase a jacket online. I do not purchase jackets online that fall outside my established numerical ranges because, more often than not, they do not fit and I am not interested in flipping a dozen poorly...
