Couple of more shots of the Gap Trucker I got from @JCSD. As many here said, Gap Trucker is a surprisingly nice jacket and a good value. The leather is not thin by any means, the jacket weighs 3.2 lbs.

My latest addition, a canvas-leather Thedi. The jacket is great, I'm not sure about the fit though. What do you guys think? I need honest feedback.

Maybe my eyes aren’t working quite right but I see absolutely nothing wrong with that fit. I suppose it comes down to how you want to wear it. If memory serves those canvas jackets aren’t lined, so a little more room for layers is mandatory. That is I suppose unless you want a jacket exclusively for warmer wear, like an unlined denim jacket.

I think that's basically what it's about. I'm used to wearing my jackets short and I can't stand long sleeves. One could easily argue that I wear my sleeve too short.

As you can see the differences with my custom thedi are minor. But it just doesn't feel right of you're used to wearing it differently.

The jacket is lined by the way. Cotton drill.

That jacket looks great but yes it's not the same perfect fit we normally see you with. Too bad it didn't work out. Good luck with sale

I saw the Damned here a couple of years back , with all my "Pommy" AKA English origined mates. Migrants like myself.
What a good night , crowd FULL of age 55+ fans.....

I suspect the Captain Sensible name comes from just that , being a 'Captain Sensible' as it's not high alcohol at 3.5%.
Funny, I’ve been listening to the shit out of the Damned’s first record lately (I’m 54 lol)

There were quite some lounge members interested in the Thedi, thank you all for your interest. I'm glad the jacket has found a new home with a fellow TFL member and I'm absolutely positive the jacket will look great on him.

Stop teasing, man, what jacket is this?

That's my old jacket I had custom made. I drew a cafe racer on a piece of paper, with details I wanted and brought it to a local jacket maker. It came out weird and didn't look anything like I imagined but in time I grew to like it. And the goat-hide is stunning. Italian veg tanned goat. More time goes by, more I appreciate it. I'll have a second jacket done in it soon.

I love your photos (and outfits). Can't top those. My elevator-selfies certainly can't.
Thank you :) Elevator, stairs... that’s pretty much the same. The lens im using is so cheap, $50 for an f1.8 copy of the canon 50mm, anyone can take this kind of picture without spending thousands. One light source bumping against a white wall or standing in front of the window during the day.

nifty fifty. It's a must if you have a canon SLR. I need to dust off my 5d mk3 and start taking some proper photos too.
