This jacket is new with tags. Never worn outside. Had it made as special order from navy wool but as its bit too tight for me I have never actually used it. Its fully lined with wine cotton sateen.

I’ve always liked the general apperance of the Roadmaster. I’m sure it will work well in twotone. I could see it working also in black/olive with black as dominant colour.
However for me, the elastics in the side of hem ruin the jacket. Those elastics always remind me of cheap leather jackets...
Today I wore my new British racing green Vanson Oxford to the gym. First time I am wearing this and I am oddly comfortable with the colour which received a huge amount of ridicule from my wife and daughter.
Theodoros said to me that he had to put some serious thought and work into making these models fit me well. In my opinion he really succeeded in that and I appreciate his efforts a lot!
I must say that Thedi's Grizzly is the only grizzly I've ever wanted to own. The fur on this one is not too thick, so IMO It doesn't make me look like a giant furball (or giant fluffy Teddy-bear as @Carlos840 predicted in London meet up when he heard about me ordering a Grizzly). I also find...

I have one in battered steer with wool back. I’ve had no issues with the back, but if I would order it again, I would have the back made of leather too. Goat would be a nice choice IMO. Battered steer is great but very sensitive to getting scratches and marks.
... and rather large coat too, it being size 50.
By the way terms ”manly man”, ”navy” and ”black leather” used together reminds me of the time when I googled ”langlitz leather” for the first time...
I'm sure you'll be happy when you finally get yours! Thedis are worth waiting for. What Theodoros lacks in his ability to keep up with his delivery schedule he more than makes up in his ability to make superb jackets!
Lost worlds Downtown in black horsehide coming from ebay. Seller says its "good as new, worn only two times by a navy vet".
It puzzles me why the seller felt it's important to mention that it was worn by a navy vet...
