Very nice..Why is the inside armpit leather lined?

I think those eyelets would tear the lining if it wasn't reinforced with leather.

That’s looks fantastic! Beautiful color and the fit is dead on. Well done!

Absolutley stunning! Amazing color/grain/pattern/and it looks soft - literally very comfortable! Very nicely done here to the Thedi team.

The leather patch at each armpit appear to help with strength and keep the lining and jacket seams from blowing out.

The original order, September of 2019, was coal gray buffalo leather as can be seen on the site but Theodoros was dissatisfied with the pelts (?) he received and I had to wait. Then COVID came... I reached Theo and said colour wasn’t an issue, just craft something out of the ordinary... So 1 exact year after, the jacket came in. The leather is incredibly supple albeit thick. Deep mahogany hues! Great craftsmanship! And thanks for the applause out there!!!

Nice call leaving the hide selection in hands of Theodoros. A bit like ordering omakase in a Japanese restaurant. If the chef is good, you cannot go wrong.

NICE !!

Really like this particular design. How is freedom of movement in the shoulder? Does the jacket bind up when reaching over your head, or lift into bat wings when driving, etc.?

Man, that is nice. Gotta give you mad props for waiting it out for a year before delivery. Glad you are happy with the jacket.

Stunning hide! Thedi strikes again. It doesn't even look like it needs breaking in, it already looks as though it's been around the block a few times with just that bit of perfect wear on it. Theodoros is a master craftsman!

The fit is perfect on you, and that leather is beautiful. Well done, worth the wait.

Thedi makes fantastic jackets, and yours is beautiful.
Congratulations!

Looks fantastic with a great fit. I love my Thedis. Most comfortable jacket I've ever owned.
Congrats Tinaphil

I normally don't like cross zips with buttons, but that looks amazing.

 

[dudewuttheheck]

Thedi's designs are so uniquely cool. Great leather as well. I dig it.

Everything everyone said already.

On a side note, I keep thinking about buttons and how they're actually a great alternative to a zipper. No worries about a faulty machine or a torn tape there and the jacket immediately looks more unique.

Bingo about the "no need to break it in"! Tanning is superb, leather is soft with a touch of patina... and the smell is exhilarating!!!

All (5) the Thedi models I tried before ordering that particular jacket were tight /close to the body, the way Italians like their jacket. Everything I tried on was supple and adapted itself to your body thanks to good choice of leather and tanning expertise. But owner must remain fit...
