    Cross zip nation

    Wish I had it to compare but hem is smaller by some amount on the Bates and can be cinched even more with the belt.

    Cross zip nation

    Bates is the black one. It’s in their heavier / stiffer cowhide. You see a lot of Bates for sale in the lighter or mid weight cowhide. Apparently this leather is no longer available due to tannery changes or something. JL is brown, in very soft drapey Horween Vermont. For what it’s worth I...

    Cross zip nation

    It’s with a slightly smaller-stature close friend now. I could never have sold it on eBay…he really liked it and I was getting too big for it so it seemed like the best thing to do.

    Cross zip nation

    Interesting comparison and thoughts. I have no comment on the time-period stuff. When you say wear casually, you mean unzipped? Aside from lapels, another big consideration for wearing crosszip unzipped is how "bell shaped" the jacket is. I find longer crosszip needs more bell shape and leads...

    @Big Steve did you ever get around to fit pics? Not sure if you posted them elsewhere if you did.

    Two Green Label Langlitz for comparison

    No prob! I'm currently expecting my first Langlitz later this month, a Columbia. Very much looking forward to it. Overall Langlitz seems to get less representation on TFL than other USA brands like Cal Leather, Lost Worlds, Vanson, Schott etc. Heck I see more Johnson Leathers out of San...

    Two Green Label Langlitz for comparison

    He'll probably see your message but helps to tag like this: @jonbuilder For what its worth it does appear to be his based on the way he was presenting the images of his vs the ebay jacket Welcome to your first post on TFL, Gentry.

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Interesting, sounds both comical and frustrating. The angle does look nice though. I'd like to have a Crown zip at some point but I'm really looking forward to all that brass hardware for this one

    The Deck Jacket thread.

    Some great deck jackets here. @thor I checkout the Schott site and the down N1s currently seem to be sold out @Mickey.was.a.rat Stellar shots, and I really like how you highlighted the fasteners which are a standout feature of your jacket

    Yeah I much prefer this collar to the Cossack style It also pops up and stays up quite well - some combination of leather treatment and all that stitching on the collar back

    Post Thedi Leather Jacket Photos Here........

    More shots of Thedi from today Really like this jacket, it’s comfortable, layers well without any fuss, leather is by far the most beautiful I’ve personally handled. It’s something I jumped on in the moment that I perhaps wouldn’t have made my first choice but am glad I did. I can’t shake the...

    Schott 174s

    Looks great on you I was a hair away from pulling the trigger on one of these when a Thedi popped up in our classifieds that I couldn’t resist. I’m also a big fan of the 100 series / naked leather Schott uses. I think this particular jacket is suffering from Schott’s own marketing hype around...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Thanks man. Been really enjoying it. Easy to layer if need be but still comfortable with a shirt if I’m in a hurry. It’s a vintage piece but not sure if it was military or civilian. My understanding is that Centre made jackets for the military but also sold them at retail. No stenciling...
