Does Thedi allow minor changes when ordering directly or through TB, or can you only play with the measurements and types of leather?
Ideally I’d ask for a different zipper puller, maybe swap the cuff straps for snaps or buttons, but most importantly is a slight shape tweak to the jacket’s...
Yeah searching online I only saw 2 stores in japan that carried sz 34 (but currently sold out) and I was hoping I missed a spot that still has one for sale, just wishful thinking I guess
I’ve been hoping it was just a tad smaller since it was posted, lovely jacket indeed
I read somewhere (might have been here tbh) that Y’2 made the leather jackets for this brand, which would mean that it’s likely made with Fujioka deerskin
I’m currently planning my first purchases using one of these proxies, do you recommend one over the other?
I’ve heard FJ is cheaper overall and they can negotiate prices on your behalf, albeit only up to 10% off and I’m not sure if it applies to yahoo-jp auctions, but do either of them offer...
I’m not sure tbh, the leather itself is outstanding, full grain on the flesh side and the reverse feels like a mix between waxy nubuck and oily suede, it’s supple and drapes well too
Craftsmanship is very good as well, stitching is straight, very dense with consistent spacing throughout, all...
I’m just starting out and getting to know the better leather jacket brands, but these are what I currently have
Clockwise from top left:
- Julius (7), black overdyed light grey lambskin racer (looks black with burgandy undertones), made in japan
- M0851, olive vegetable/aniline cowhide...
Second likely fits better but first kinda looks better oversized and doesn’t really make you look any shorter, but I think I’d be worthwhile looking at the back as well, and also consider if it’s mostly gonna be worn open or closed
Forgive me but I’m still on the learning curve here, I’ve only used tandy brand mink oil which was recommended by a good friend who makes small leather goods out of HH and thick SH
And tbh it seems to work great softening stiff leather and dulling out overly shiny leather (which I’m not a fan...
Well if you’re not afraid of using some oil, I think the thing that helped break in that comp weight the most was giving it a good rubdown with mink oil then rolling it up and sitting on it for a bit, then I’d unroll it and roll it up again in a different direction and sit on it some more
I did...
Don’t give up hope, when I first got this one in premium comp weight I could barely move my arms enough to zip it up, it definitely requires a workout for the initial break in, but after that it just slowly keeps getting better and better, nowadays I don't find it restricting at all yet it...
I believe they’re more like proxies than dropshippers, they’re doing the same thing on ebay
They basically list ítems at a markup that are available in jp, usually stuff listed on mercari, rakuten rakuma or yahoo jp auctions and I’ve even seen some posting stuff from jp second hand stores or...
