    Good question, if it is in the same country I would say on the seller. International orders, especially when customs are involved get too complicated to deal with

    “An error does not become a mistake until you refuse to correct it.” ~ John F. Kennedy

    For me custom is a way to get something more unique as well, most of the time a colour / colour combination I can't get OTR. But yes, OTR can get you a lot of good things to start with :)

    Lost worlds Horsehide trench coat

    I have this one upcoming https://thedi-leathers.com/product/mtc-1279400/ But it still much shorter than a trench coat. I wonder if any of these models works if you jsut make it longer, particularly this one https://thedi-leathers.com/product/mtc-s127999/

    “An error does not become a mistake until you refuse to correct it.” ~ John F. Kennedy

    The key point is whether it is a flaw that was missed or something that is considered acceptable by the maker and sent anyway, or even worse sent while counting on the customer not to notice. Edited for clarity

    Lost worlds Horsehide trench coat

    I see @yellowfever gave you all the info you might need regarding trench coats and, yes, I am myself considering one, but not sure what I want it to be made of. I own quite a few LW jackets so I can help you in that aspect, but I am clueless about how the trench coat fits. I found LW to be...

    Ever think some jackets are overhyped

    Same here, that is really stretching my "delayed gratification" way of coping with delays lol Hopefully Japan opens up in Spring or Summer, we will see

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

    And this is just the tip of the iceberg :p

    Ever think some jackets are overhyped

    I wonder if you were quoted such a high price because he was hedging against issues in case you needed to send the jacket back? He didn't have any sample my size and is not experienced with the western body type. He was happy to have me at hand to make the mock up and then adjust it as needed...

    Ever think some jackets are overhyped

    Certainly is, only reason I haven't fallen in yet is that because it is currently beyond my reach due to travel restrictions lol

    Photos of cool jackets owned by others (non-brand specific)

    Sarebbe veramente un piacere di visitare il workshop :) I would love to go when travel is easier. It is about an hour from Malpensa as far as I can see.

    Ever think some jackets are overhyped

    Mine has been waiting for me at the workshop for almost a year now. I wanted to pick it up personally as it is bespoke. They are not as expensive as Himel and the other Japanese makers we discuss here, or were not at least. Not sure what the current pricing is like

    Ever think some jackets are overhyped

    There is that as well, the bowl you show is also a typical example. I don't know how far this goes, the previous example I pointed to was shown to me by a Japanese tea practitioner as an example. What I can say for sure, is that I have seen it misused to excuse flaws in handmade products.

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

    It is definitely a great jacket to ride in, I am sure you can tell that Theo is himself a rider when wearing it :)

    Ever think some jackets are overhyped

    It is a natural reaction. For Japanese hand made products, people often use the term "wabi-sabi" to excuse flaws. Where the real thing is about showing the imperfection of nature, but "human touch", "wabi-sabi" and others are just excuses. In this case, it is real wabi sabi.

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Agreed, I went for CN when given the choice for my engineers back then

    Ever think some jackets are overhyped

    Out of my jackets, LW feels indestructible, my first one was immediately a "beater" jacket despite the price. Never felt I had to baby it like some others. I have ridden mostly with my tan Thedi as it is so comfortable and feels like it will protect me. The Johnson leather - I have one with...
