No disrespect to Toni of course. I have an Aero jacket made by her from the early 2010s which is very well made so she clearly has the skill and experience.
I just checked my other Field Leathers jacket which is the Chicago test jacket and even that has some of the features @Marc mndt pointed...
My understanding is that Toni was formerly with Aero Leathers and has a lot of experience. But yes, I guess you could consider these as apprentice-made jackets under the Field Leathers brand. Hence the discounted price.
Thought I'd help him promote it in this thread. Greg is currently taking orders for Toni who just joined the Field Leathers team.
Good chance to grab a jacket in their new brown cowhide at a bargain. Check out his IG stories more info!
+1 to that. It depends how long your torso is. I'm 180cm and also prefer a 24 inch back because I have long legs. Makes it harder to buy off-the-rack jackets because I need a longer sleeve length compared to back length.
I'm amazed this hasn't been snatched up. It's bewildering how many great deals and jackets there are in sizes 38-40 on the classifieds now. Hope you find this awesome piece a new owner soon!
Great jacket! If I'm not mistaken this is the navy CXL. I was eyeing this as well when it was last posted but the length didn't work for me.
Might help others to know that it's not black CXL. GLWS
Thanks for such a well-written, elaborate response to my question. I guess if the zip is wavy, the tumbling is done post-completion of the jacket as opposed to Aero's offering of tumbled CXL where the leather is tumbled before the jacket is put together? (This is purely speculation on my part)...
Great fit! You certainly pull off the shawl collar really well.
One general question I have regarding Thedi jackets is - I noticed that they all look really broken in even when new. Is it a proprietary method he uses to give it that look and is it something his jackets are known for?
This thread helped me when I was doing my research on hangers.

I think it depends on the slope angle of the shoulders but there have been complaints (as you'll read in that thread)...
