Five Star Leather Jackets

[Seank]

Got the DHL notification that my G1 (AN-6552) remake is on its way. Should be here mid next week. From the pics Shawn sent me, all the sizing issues seem to be taken care of. The collar changed, and the knits changed.
Will post better pics when it arrives, but for now...here is what he sent me:

I told myself I wasn’t ordering any more leather jackets. At least until the two on order arrive. But @Jin431 got me thinking ... it doesn’t count if I get something made for the missus, right?

I don’t really see her in a trucker, but maybe a fitted HB. Her tastes are a little more conservative than mine, so I’m open to ideas on good styles for women.

This is what I got her

Perhaps I'm looking at it wrong...but don't those underarm footballs seem huge..??

This is so cool! Does she like it?

I'm going to show this jacket to my gf She doesn't have a cross zip yet (her Zara mc jacket doesn't count). I think she needs something like this.

Very stylish Thedi not overly done with studs but patterned nicely and if you look closely it has the classic Thedi little extras. Great jacket for a Lady.
Congrats

I think they’re pretty standard. Probably just the way the arms are laying.

I mean...here is a pic of a good wear:

They look big here as well. Not concerned about it.

She was with me in Thessaloniki and chose it directly. The fit is perfect. And yes she loves it

Thanks, I thought this made a perfect serious leather jacket for her

Atleast until the two in order arrive is so classic TFL thinking. Love that bit lol

I've got my gf two halfbelts

Those are great gifts and the brown half belt looks very cool

This is what I got her

This Thedi will go nicely with the J24 you shared the other day when you two go on a date

She's had it for half a year or so. This pic was the only one I had on hand, from when we unboxed it. Didn't mean to mislead anyone lol
And yes, when she wears it, I need to reciprocate

Edit: I should mention she already wants another one and is keen to go back to Thessaloniki lol

That combination is so rock n roll I love the thought of it!

I'd go back to Thessaloniki in a heart beat to see the Greek God himself lol

You don’t need to trek to Mt. Olympus when you’ve got the Cali jacket kings in your own back yard!

I was just teasing red devil and his girlfriend lol

So true that I'm so fortunate to be within half an hour drive from the JL store. They are planning to offer more deerskin so I'm probably wanting to get in on that too haha

It has become at least a once a year pilgrimage

my daughter had an old, cheap fashion jacket from H&M made of synthetic leather that has slowly dissolved. But it was her favorite jacket and she doesn't want any other.
So the idea was to have the synthetic leather jacket reproduced. but with good materials.
The pictures of Shawn look good.

You sent him the old jacket and then he copied it? That’s a cool idea!

Yes exactly. I could have sent the photos and measurements too, but I figured if 5* has the original then I'm on the safe side.
It‘s made of black suede goat and reinforcements are normal black goat.

Having the original should be even better than photos and measurements!

Wow, that's so cool. Really love their inner pocket design lol I'm planning to get a Thedi this year, I already emailed Theodoros and am saving up for it. I already know which model I'm getting but still undecided on the leather. Choosing between the waxed cocoa buffalo vs black cowhide vs HH.
