Don't remember the zips, but it was pumpkin color. Beautiful jacket, but I did not want to risk 22-in sleeves. Looks like two of us are looking for the same rare jacket - good luck to both of us!

indeed. Best of luck to us!

Here's a Thedi that's been tempting me...not cheap but definitely worth a look. I like what they've been doing with the vege tan Buffalo.

61 cm sleeves means 24", unusually short esp. for Thedi.

Yep. Probably more of a size 40, which is too small for me. And personally I not a big fan of buttons instead of a main zip. Still a nice looking jacket.

I normally wear a size 40. My two Thedis of this style ( a cross button and a cross zip ) were custom ordered through Thurston Bros. They are size Xlarge in 'Thedi sizing' with 25 1/2- 26 " sleeves and body and, I think, fit great.

I don't think it's just because of small size, if you look more attentively at jackets which Theodoros wears by himself you might notice much longer sleeves in proportion with the frame.
I think seller might have quite short hands and so they could initially purchase the jacket with shortened sleeves, just to meet their personal numbers.

I find this jacket interesting although not an American jacket as the title implies. I do not like the price but the seller is taking offers

You’re right that he’s asking too much.

Damn that's a beautiful jacket.

I wonder whether the main zip has been replaced. The seller doesn't mention it in the description but the stitching on the main zip is very sloppy while all the other stitches are perfectly even and straight.

That's been on ebay for a while now...interesting GB vintage jacket. The seller is a well known picker and has a vintage boutique downtown.

Some of the details look very similar to the Fidelity cafe racer I have. Maybe it was made by Fidelity for this company?

@handymike Have you seen this one yet?

Not my favorite leather color but, these certainly don’t turn up to often....

 

[handymike]

Wasn’t this the one from the classifieds?

 

[Boyo]

this one is for sale on the Aero site.. on the stock page, I recall you wanting a sea biscuit and I thought this might be close size-wise

 

[JoeNiblick]

Every time I see you guys post about the horsehide Seabiscuit jacket, in my head, I hear, in my best Paul Harvey voice, "And now you know the REST of the story. Good day!"
