A visit to leather jacket heaven in Thessaloniki - Thedi Leathers!

[jonesy86]

Jonesy, dem slippah give you blistah bro!
Maybe pick up a pair from Theo to match the jacket.

I’m so jealous of you guys.

LOL! After wearing pretty much nothing but slippah, or going barefooted for the last couple of years changed my foot size and wearing shoes while traveling tore up my feet. It’s all good Bruddah, I’ll be back on da beach soon.
Shaka Bra!

It’s all good, I’m here a few days and Theodoros said the jacket will be done this afternoon, or tomorrow. I hope to pick it up at noon, and wear it on the plane home.

Jonesy, would love to see a pic of you wearing your new Thedi next to or on some "Agean waters" Enjoy your travels.

 

[jonesy86]

Really jelious of you Jonesy - can't wait to get there myself one day.

Just have to say, this is likely the first picture I've seen of Jonsey without a leather jacket on -- when he is not also wearing a swimsuit by the beach! Perhaps you are going through a bit of withdrawal not being that close to the ocean?

In any case, enjoy your time in Greece - and especially at Thedi's!

They have beaches nearby, but it ain’t Hawaii. However, it is good leather jacket weather in the early mornings and evenings.

Just got a message from Theodoros and he will meet me at the store with my jacket in a few hours.

Since you're in Thessaloniki don't forget to taste this:

Sugar and Calorie bomb but delicious. It is named "trigona Panoramatos".

not sure if you need a dictionary or a calculator to understand it.

I was there almost 10 years ago for a work trip to Bulgaria. Walking along water I thought it reminded me of Baltimore.

@Filos Congrats (with some delay). Beautiful jacket and perfect fit. You are looking happy with your deerskin jacket. His deerskin feels totally different compared to other deerskin jackets offered by other makers.

Thank you! Fit was pretty tight at first, but it settled quite a bit, now it’s amazing how such a close fit can still provide this comfort and range of motion. Leather has quite a bit of stretch in it.

 

[jonesy86]

Yes!

Brilliant! Looks great. That's the jacket I have my eyes on (that I posted previously, in that instance with the added mouton collar and shearling lining). What are the measurements for your jacket? Fit appears to be spot on.

 

[AeroFan_07]

Looks great Jonesey! Looks like you had a really great time with him as well.

 

[Rich22]

What zipper is it on that one, Riri or another? Thedi seem to have an interesting selection of nice zippers.

Thanks. I’m not sure what the measurements are. I told Theodoros what I wanted, but he wanted to go by photos of me in a tee shirt both front and side, height, weight, and chest measurements and do things his own way, not how other makers do things. I also sent him photos of me wearing a XL Thurston/Thedi Phoenix which he said was especially helpful for him to fit me because it showed me in one of his patterns. He put an XXL tag in this one, I will post measurements when I get home.

The jacket is great but I'm curious; What was the bet that you lost so you had to wear those... Shoes?

 

[TheDonEffect]

Oh my goodness that's sweeeet.

[navetsea]

congrats Jonesy, great fit, doesn't need hot surf water treatment. although by the last pic you look like thinking to jump off the pier.
