Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

[Jumper]

ty. Different brown, but I can always play with that with some coconut oil or something. Many thanks

Edit: I scooped it up. Thank you, Terry. I'm down the rabbit hole so to speak. Should be fun.

I had one in that same honey caramel color and it looks great up close, especially with the purple sheen lining. I'd still have it if it hadn't been too small. You might be pleasantly surprised once you see it. FWIW, a Brooks in that color doesn't show up as often as in other colors.

Congratulations on the pick up.

ah fantastic. cool to know. yeah, so hard to tell with photos. I'll give it a fair chance for sure, see how the leather is and all that. Depending on how it fits and what kind of shape it's in, I'll probably give it a water dunk and let to dry in a not too hot place. I got some conditioner that doesn't darken too much like Smiths, and then when doing black or just don't care about the color, I use a coconut oil/beeswax blend that darkens a shade or two. It fades back slowly, but never quite all the way back. But part of that is that if the leather was dry, it's sort of an unnatural color anyway.

This is more of a find than a deal, and even then, I think it seems a bit hideous, like a weird combination of a fur coat and a leather jacket. Still pretty cool to look at, though.

I agree with the above on the Brooks. This is a nice colored one, a heavier leather than that early racing shirt I own. I've got several Brooks videos. I've not watched any in a long time. I owned a few. I thought the one I posted was a great buy if you needed a 42. You don't see this combination.

thank you again for posting and giving me info. I'll be sure to treat with love and respect
Out of curiosity, what's the difference in the gold label and these:

Different era? Different line?

Different era. The classic gold label Brooks were replaced with the red / black label in 1978, which is still in use today. Strangely enough, from what I've read, many people here feel like the red and black label Brooks are a better quality, although some of the really recent stuff may be less liked. Despite that, the gold label has a certain character to it, regardless of worse stitching, crappy faux lining, and so on.

If this was a 38, I would buy it at once.

Does this look legit to all here? A Thedi for ~325 USD Shipped?

This one has been listed for a long time. I think it's a genuine thedi, but I've of his older styles. Don't know about the quality but I don't think it compares to what theodoros does today.

 

[Will Zach]

It is too long.

 

[AeroFan_07]

^^ these two are my thoughts as well, not up to what they offer now. Generally don't see much for any Theidi's "used" for sale. I suspect there is a reason for that...

I have already seen an old Thedi Cafe Racer with that label stay unsold on eBay for £65, it stayed there months!
For some reason older Thedis don't seem to be selling that well or for that much money.

Edit: just saw this

TBH, both of these Thedi jackets are pretty ugly. First one looks like a part of an drunk dude at a flea market somewhere in Eastern Europe uniform and the second jacket could've been sold by Urban Republic.

Harsh, but it's definitely true that Thedi are making much more stylish jackets these days.

Says its a Mister Freedom Campus in the details but from the text and the photos I think its a copy(?)

[handymike]

Color is off, and so is the stitching and side adjuster straps (holes?). Plus it is sized M...could be an LVC Einstein copy...

 

[phelan77]

Looks like a jacket from Cidu...

 

[l0fielectronic]

Yes, thought as much when I saw the roller buckle side adjusters (I think even the Cidu people would've used something better than those though.)

The pockets, corduroy and labeling all seem based after the Mister Freedom Campus so maybe thats what the seller meant.
