    Not sure, as it has been some time, but I would suspect about 4 months nowadays. I have a fun idea to make with ELS, but I need to first get at my target weight :)

    Post Thedi Leather Jacket Photos Here........

    It’s a great coat. If you like it, you can wear it. After all, it’s all about feeling comfortable or happy in what you’re wearing.

    Yes, it is veg tan buffalo, at the time I ordred it, we just called it "tan", but it should be Cognac. It came in much lighter than what you see here, and then got darker during summer. I wore it on the motorbike.

    (Trigger warning) Are we giving too much credit for wabi-sabi/Japanese craftmanship reputation for uneven graining (especially in high visible area)?

    I personally find having different grain or shades in panels to be nice when made tastefully. It all depends on the skill of the person cutting the leather. This for example is technically mismatched, but in my eyes it enhances the jacket. There were no expenses spared on this jacket. On...

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Exactly what I noticed recently... RTW fashion clothing has become so expensive that it surpassed custom made tailoring. I don't get it. Very curious to have their house tweed in hand, thanks :D

    Who makes this one btw? For a Winchest, I'd go with JL. This is what my smoke in black cherry bison looks like in case you didn't see it. They do have a burgundy bison.

    Wise words to live by (jacket related)

    I think we should remember, that if we are actively participating in this forum, we are part of a small niche of people. A niche of people that have an interest in clothing and want to go beyond the better known brands. Although the motivation to do so can be very different from member to...

    If looking for halfbelts and cafe racers, then you might want to look at Thedi leathers. They can get you the colour and texture you are looking for. Here is variation of burgundy I got from them, this one being goat

    Depends what characteristics you want in the leather and most importantly depends on the jacket type you are looking for. If I have understood you correctly, you are looking for a Little Wing or something in the same vein, for this I can only think of Johnson Leathers as a custom order. Some...

    It is warm, as warm as wool lining I'd say. Where are you based? That jacket is bull hide though, not goat, they called the colour "purple haze"

    They are business partners and have had input in the collection since I have known them... which is quite some time, maybe 8 years?

    Thanks for sharing, I hope it was a small batch that was defective.... otherwise I shudder at people who do not get the protection they should. I will definitely keep this in mind!

    Thanks, it is fun :D Thinking of what colours to experiment with now. You can never go wrong by adding colour! :D Thanks @yellowfever ! This is great info, I will go with Forcefield on the custom I am making (In Japan, they are happy to sew in any protection requested but I need to provide...

    Agreed, you're much better off riding with armour on. Speaking of which, if you were making a new suit and had to choose armour, would you choose any in particular between those mentionned? Or any would do?

    LVMH is the best example as you mentioned, they go for "high volume luxury" which is a contradiction in itself. Unfortunately they have been very successful and bought so many brands.
