Thanks:) The jacket feels great with no limitation when i move my arms forward, i can easily hug myself with no restriction. I was worried about the sizing, but Theodoros nailed it, feels like a second skin on me.
Started a thread last week on the arrival of my new Thedi jacket https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/my-thedi-jacket-mtg-162707-has-arrived.103405/
As it was extremely hot here down under, i had to wait for weather to cool down a bit to wear the jacket for some fit pics, As i am pretty much...
About 10 years ,long before i discovered this site , i bought a "Classic motorcycle jacket" from Fox Creek Leathers. It has been my go to leather jacket for riding my motorcycle, Modern enough but with a vintage look/style. Still going strong, and the jacket weighs a tonne.
Yes the elasticated sides are very subtle, not as prenounced as early 80's jackets, it doesnt bother me at all. Very happy with the lining. Pics below of lining and another little detail, leather patches sewn where the armpits rest.
That didnt even enter my mind Terry..(on ordering different colour collars for the jacket down the track). Like updating the wheels on an old car, and like you said, just takes more money.
Another small detail i was not aware of. I am not sure whether this comes standard with all Thedi jackets, but the inside pockets of my jacket are lined with corduroy material. I have 2 authentic US Navy peacoats which have the exact same lining in their handpockets. This feature was not...
Thanks Terry. I am quite surprised at the sturdiness of the removable collar, i requested to have it as a second option to the jacket, but this thing feels as if it is part of the construction of the jacket, and am now having doubts if i ever want to take it off. Im thinking the jacket looks...
Yes ,when i asked for Thedi to send me samples , i asked for brown leathers. The goatskin brown samples below, one untreated the othe after treatment. You can see how much darker the treatment makes the leather, it almost looks black like my jacket, but the brown comes out in good lighting.
Thanks Jake. Very happy with the leather and quality of workmanship on the jacket. Reading your blogs, helped me heaps in selecting which brands of jackets to consider. Will post fit pics on the weekend.
Thaks Fonzie, yes hoping our summer (mild compared to last year) ends real soon.
Yes , the...
I must also mention that i did receive leather samples from Thedi, and the brown chestnut horsehide sample which i have here, is untreated and definately looks like a brown, but i asked for my jacket to be treated(Thedi's wash and wax treatment ) which does darken the jacket quite a bit.
