Hi
After my first review of the black THEDI jacket made of horse leather, I will now briefly introduce my 2nd jacket from THEDI.
I ordered this stock model from Thursten Bros after a long dialogue with Carrie and it arrived a few days later. As you can see in the following lines, my English is not very good. Nevertheless, Carrie @ Thurston Bros was very patient with me and gave me the best advice. This jacket is made of buffalo leather and the tan color is sold as "cognac".
Before I received the jacket, I was skeptical how the buffalo leather felt. I had no experience with buffalo and had become a bit sensitive due to my stiff Aero horse (FQHH), as the stiff leathers take "half a life" to be worn comfortably (subjective perception).
Then UPS handed me the package, which I immediately opened. I was impressed by the feel of the leather and the beautiful slight vintage look. The “flexibility” of the leather and the workmanship eliminated my last doubts. In the meantime my pulse was rising a bit while I quickly put on my 501 and a T-Shirt and hoped that the jacket would fit me too.
Background: I wanted a light colored leather jacket, not to short and comfortable to wear and in my opinion the new THEDI fulfills exactly this purpose. It fits close to the body, but doesn't squeeze and is a shade longer and therefore, for me, more "suitable for everyday use" and less "styled". The jacket is brand new but feels extremely soft. I'm excited to see how it develops over the next few months.
Pictures say more than words, now please see for yourself.
I look forward to your critical comments about the look and fit.
Best regards
Roman
