It seems to be a Thedi extravaganza in the classifieds this week! I see that @Davidchee5 just posted a very similar jacket a few days ago, and if that one didn't work for you, here's another chance:
This is also a Thurston Bros make up, currently selling on their site for $1799.99. This jacket is very lightly worn, I would say in "very good+" used condition, with the exception that the original zipper has been replaced. The original would have had a two-way zipper, as seen on the Thurston Bros site, but at some point before I got the jacket it was replaced with a one-way Riri zipper (zipping on more US standard right side). I see on other Thedi's that a similar Riri zip is used, so even if not original it is nevertheless not foreign to the brand.
I will include lots of pics here, and a link to the Thurston Bros description, but you probably know the facts: The leather -- Hand-dyed Cocoa Buffalo -- really is kind of amazing, perhaps the coolest, most interesting leather I have handled. As others will attest, pics don't convey it. Thedi's own site says that the leather is "washed and hand waxed." I like it a LOT, but alas the fit is just a bit tight for me. This is the first Thedi I have seen in person, and I am now a believer. I never thought I would pay full price for one, but I may end up doing just that in order to get one that fits.
In addition to the fabulous leather, there are all those little constructions details Thedi is known for, and I will include some pics of those here too.
This is marked as a Medium, but I've noticed that Thedi measurements (not unlike Aero!) can be quite variable, and this one seems to be almost a size larger than the one just listed by @Davidchee5 , closer to the Large currently for sale on Thurston Bros:

Measurement pics below, but as I measure it (flat but not stretched) it goes like this:
Pit to Pit: 22.5"
Shoulders: 18.5"
Sleeves: 25"
Back: 24.5"
At 6' and 185 lbs, I generally take a 42 modern and a 44 vintage, and this just about fits me; just a bit tight across the chest. Having said that, nearly every jacket I have trouble with fits everywhere except across the chest. In fact, this Thedi fits pretty much like I remember a size 44 ELMC Californian fitting. If any of that helps...
I picked this up from a fellow Lounger at a very fair price, and I will let it go for the same price: $750 to me (F&F preferred), including shipping in the US.
