    Is my Thedi leather jacket too tight?

    I agree: it doesn’t look comfortable. I’ve lost several kg during lockdown and several Old Town waistcoats (and a Nigel Cabourn Tweed jacket) already feel decidedly less snug as a result.

    Aero x Real McCoys Brakeman

    Regardless of mismatched details, the fastening is female (right over left). Fine looking jacket though, reminiscent of a Freewheelers Switchyard. I see these FW designs being reproduced pretty well in China, perhaps that’s the original source?

    What can black or brown do for you?

    I have the Journeyman in Jet Black deerskin, which is a pebbled grain and satin finish, which gives it plenty of depth. The goatskin is a warm brown, based on the colour of the Gordon & Ferguson M-422.
