Then wish you get trapped in a repeating limbo on the day your jacket arrive TonTurns out I'll have a Thedi in my spaghetti by the weekend. Itch scratched...but for how long...
I was waiting for this one to arrive and today arrived.
Some might remember this one in green:
As it happens it was a Fox Knapp in L size but I had the feeling somehow the jacket shrinked over the years or someone washed it instead of Dry Cleaning because the collar at the back was too short (one side was longer of the two pieces of the collar)and zipper was wavy like some zippers end when the leather or wool shrinks. Basically the jacket overall had shrinked at some point making it more short than usual and altering the original fit.
As it happens my suspicions were right when I stumbled upon this beauty:
Basically the same jacket in Brown in a M size and it fits better than the other one. I was meant to have this one too which is basically mint, doesn't have any odor, shows no signs of use and the labels are intact, no wear, only the union label is in a different place. As you can see, the pockets are bigger which is the only difference I can spot.
Thanks! Both were made by Fox Knapp Sportswear.Love that jacket, Willy. Who made it?
@Monitor did your Vanson arrive yet? My Langlitz find was in the post today. I'll post pictures at the weekend. I can already tell you though that it's a perfect fit, couldn't be happier with it. Jacket weights 2kg so it's either lightweight or medium weight cowhide, but you can see the quality of the hide and it's a nice lightweight jacket for evenings out. Now I want a Langlitz in heavyweight leather really badly, though. This jacket but heavier and I would be dunso, selling everything else and go back to collecting watches.
Been working in a russet A2 with Aero...
Got an Aero Redskin B6 waiting for the winter cold. Will post some snaps when the time comes!

Just got my new Thedi,.......will post more soon.
Edgar... Which model / contract A-2? And what feature of that model did you like? Just curious.
Oooh I'm interested in seeing one, it's not common on this forum.
I was thinking of ordering one for this winter. In my opinion It's one of the few shearling jacket when you wear it you don't look like Bibendum (Michelin Mascot)
Very cool Garry! Perfect fit as well!
I'll be waiting. That's a killer jacket man!!View attachment 76429
