I’m kinda in the same boat as I also prefer Y shaped but some V’s with cinch straps also work, especially if they’re at the waist vs hem, not all though.
What really doesn’t work for me, and I get that excess bunching at the waist, is a straight torso with cinch straps.
But I mostly wear my...
Personally it’s mostly the collar on both, putting that aside I like the leather on the rc but I think the schott has a slightly better fit on you, but overall I think you could find one that both fits and looks better than either of those.
Yeah those measurements seem more like a 34 than the labeled 44, unless it’s labeled in euro size.
It’s sold now so very likely someone here took the gamble.
You’re right, I only have a rc with red satin lining in the body and sleeves, and my other jackets are either cupro or unlined so I have no experience with thicker linings on leather, including cotton drill, flannel, wool blend and wool.
Most fw/rc I‘ve seen have a dark colored thicker lining...
It’s just a very poor attempt at a true p2p measurement, the armpit edges are folded back and not visible under the tape.
I’ve seen some shops do this as well when asking for measurement pics.
If you don’t mind, what was the cost for this and how did it turn out?
A bodie in dark forest green deerskin and no chest pocket sounds perfect, or just getting the bodie collar and no chest pocket on a memphis, fingers crossed!
Thanks guys, so now I guess my biggest issue is gonna be the wait time.
That’s excruciating, I hope you get to wear it this winter, which model and leather did you order?

Nice! I considered that since he does it on a very similar half belt and it doesn’t...
Hi guys,
I’m planning to order a new Memphis directly from Thedi after the holidays and have some questions:
- does anyone have something in vachetta verde deerskin that could share some pictures? (I’ve only seen thedi’s pics and most are flooded with artificial yellow light).
- has anyone...
Also interested in seeing unzipped fit pic, and would you wear it mostly zipped or unzipped? How about layers or riding? Those things would affect how I’d want it to fit.
That looks better, both collar gap and overall fit, if anything I assume you’re questioning the sleeve length because everything else looks good to me.

Fit pics coming on the following posts, sorry for the delay.
Also, after a couple days with it I’ve reassessed my initial impressions and edited my original description to reflect that, but mainly the sleeves are starting to loosen up a bit, I’m not expecting much since it’s pretty...
That thunder road jacket in vintage brown with the red? lining is the all heavily grained sample they use for marketing (stock & fit pics) on several stores, it’s the only one I’ve seen that doesn’t have black lining like all the rest.
