That looks great! I haven't looked into these benzeins before but that looks casual but can also be dressed up. How do you find the locally sourced leather?
Thank you, that was the main thought into this. Classic/clean/simple so it can be used for a long time, I see the same design elements with your Thedi. A lifetime piece (permitting we can sustain our current weight/build or there about)
You bet and I'm happy this turned out the way it did.
That is all due to Greg of Field Leathers sewing skill and pattern making ability. I'm sure it's not easy and it was time consuming, the initial mock up jacket did not fit as well as this so Greg had to make two patterns before finally...
Wow! Its a perfect fit! It looks great with or without the shearling collar, it really is a 2 for 1 jacket! The shape of the base collar is so good looking! The elastic on the side makes the bottom hem pucker a little but I'm sure that will relax with time and wear. Congratulations, Thedi is...
No problem at all. Happy to update you. It's a frankenstein, the front of the jacket is inspired by @Marc mndt jacket and FW caboose but with different hand pocket placement that makes it easier for me to use and it has a slightly different pocket design. The back of the jacket is like a half...
Thanks man! I appreciate you appreciating it!
No problem at all. This is a full aniline black shinki (smooth hide used so I have to work it and wear it well to get the grain to pop). This doesn't have a finish so you can see pores/flaws of the hides well, which is nice since it's uncorrected...
Thanks man! Not a lot of change yet since you had it but I wear it as much as I can! It's such a wondefully made jacket.
That's a cool pattern, it's really out there in a fun way! I didn't even notice the zipper cuffs! That's cool!
Love the jacket! Great photo as well! I'm semi part of this club too as most my button up shirts are 27" or longer and my jackets are 23" so it does not look good.
I thought you also designed your own pants!? Blasphemy that you don't.
Looking good @HoosierDaddy! This gray Thedi is perfect...
Hmmm I'll try to answer this as best I can but this is me just spewing whatever.
They are very different indeed actually but still jackets that will be a regular in my rotation.
1. The leather are both shinki and it's waaaaay different from one another.
the leather on the FW Mulholland...
