Crosszip at its finest... Thedi Leathers MTC-C1279405 Leather x Canvas (made from 1942 US Tent) Combo, limited Edition :)
Thedi's Stuff is second to none!
Note: In terms of wearing sensation, this is my most comfortable jacket by far...
The leather used (cowhide) is perfectly balanced with...

Sometimes I feel the same way ... but if you only had a heartbeat (for example your house is on fire, which of course we all don't hope) to decide which jacket (1-2) you could take with you, which one would it be...? ;)
Today: The Real McCoys's Buco Engineers in Buttock Horsehide Lot. BA10010.
Note: A bit fragile boots in terms of leather and construction but still the most comfortable boots for my feet!
Yesterday: Craftrite Horsehide Engineers, made in Japan & rarely seen on western hemisphere.
Note:The boots have an excellent price / performance ratio. Yen 75,000 (US- $ 675) are not too much for a HH Boot, made in Japan in this quality. Not sure, if they are still in production... two sizes...
Some more fit pictures as requested @Superfluous :
Note: I like this cut (bell shaped) because it is authentic ... but that is not for everyone. The asymmetrical curve of the pockets is also a nice detail.
Tape measurements on size 40" are as follow:
(Laid flat, buttoned up, Chest on...
Here we go :)
As ref.: I am 5'11" (180cm), 165 lbs (75 kg), 39" (99 cm chest) and wearing size 40". Once I wore size 42" in Brakeman Coat, but then I had 26.5 lbs (12 kg) more on my ribs at a chest size of 41" (104 cm). Traded size 42" Brakeman for a Switchyard size 42" (now @Guppy) back...
Judging by the photos, the jacket doesn't look too big for me when it is closed. If you wear it open, it is on the larger side, but that is also due to the cross zip style (wider chest part). I was in the same situation and with a heavy heart I decided to pass my Sunset Jacket on because it...
I had several FW Leather Jackets but for me the "Brakeman" is their iconic item. If you look at these photos you will know why I love this jacket so much :)
After having owned, bought, sold, swapped, etc. countless Leather Jackets, I asked myself which jacket excited me the most (in every way).
I suggest that we leave it with one or two Jackets ... the Jackets no longer have to be owned, but should have been owned beforehand. My two all time favs...
I don't know where the HH leather came from. It's a midweight leather, I guess 2.5 oz. It was offered for the Bayshore jacket which came onto the market about 6/7 years ago. The jacket in general (apart from the leather) is of mediocre quality. The body and sleeve lining had to be completely...
It seems, there arn't much "teacore" Jackets around done by use thru Members (incl. me) ;) therefore pictures of my Brother's Golden Bear Bayshore HH Jacket.
Now at it's 6yrs mark by nearly daily wear...
Recently I got my Brother's Golden Bear HH Bayshore Jacket in for a zipper slider repair. 6yrs mark now with 2nd lining and more or less daily wear. Teacore at it's best... that's the real deal I strive after but never achieve, lol!
More detail shoots on my insta account :)
Here are pictures...
I think that is not possible for many here. I was looking for the holy grail jacket for years, but I never found it. Not that I've had very nice jackets. However, I had to realize that having lots and lots of beautiful jackets is addicting. There are enough examples of this in this forum. I also...
