As most others have said, I think you shouldn't worry. Theodoros is 100% reliable. I ordered 2 jackets from Thedi. The first one took about 10 weeks to be delivered. The second one twice as much. Based on my first experience, I placed my order last fall expecting the jacket to be delivered...
As requested by a member, here are some fit pics.
Also, a picture of slight fraying of the lining at the wrist
and a close up of the zipper, that happens to be a Crown/Coats & Clark collab.
For sale is this Pure Blue Japan trucker.
The brand is distributed in England by Rivet and Hide https://rivetandhide.com/shop/brands/pure-blue-japan.html
The fabric is midweight with a glazed herringbone twill pattern (which almost unavoidably produces a moiré effect in the photos).
The pictures...
For sale is this Fidelity crosszip in grainy steerhide.
It has a clean one piece back and snaps on the belt.
Quilted lining, sleeves included.
Coats and Clark main zip.
Good overall condition, considering its age (my guess is it's from the 70's).
Leather is midweight, very supple.
No size tag...
^^^ I understand. Still, although the pocket angle makes sense esthetically (the jacket really looks good), it is dysfunctional from a practical point of view, especially if you try to slip your wallet with your right hand in that pocket. A reverse angle would've made sense, but there's already...
I have a CR with quilted lining in the body and sleeves. It fits rather slim and the lining doesn't add any extra puffiness. It does add warmth, so it will determine what you intend to use the jacket for. I don't recommend it for walking.
What I understand is the different pieces of leather are assembled in a way that makes them follow the curves of the body, (shoulders, back,etc..; ). The result being not flat, which is a 3D issue.
When ordering my grey buffalo Hb (MTC 127915), I was concerned about that center seam, being slightly prejudiced about it, and I asked Theodoros what its purpose was. This is what he answered: "This helps in fit. It's not a straight line".
