There will be no real jacket wear here in Chicago for at least another two months. Maybe three with the way each season seems to keep getting pushed back. But I just can’t help but show off this grain. The hide on this jacket is so delightful. Feels like caramelized maple syrup. I’m going to post a bunch of photos of recent vintage acquisitions in the “threads of the past” thread. This one really stands out. Objectively a good one inch too short in back. Has a crazy 3.5” front drop. Saves it for me. 50’s chrome tanned Californian steer. The right sleeve is the answer to the question “Why do you like leather?” At least for me!

The weather outside continues to be 90 degrees, and I continue to receive jackets I can't bring out of the house. But I recently sold an Aero Board Racer, and picked up a Thedi Phenix. I really like it! I was worried about the quilted shoulders, but I find the Thedi pattern to fit on me much more comfortably than the Board Racer, despite nearly exact measurements.

This is a Thedi in Black Buffalo

Ideal fit for cafe racer style jackets, congrats on this! Fits just like it should

Way too hot for jackets where I live still, but this LVC bomber finally came in the mail today and I wore it around inside for a bit. I wouldn't call it Aero quality, but thankfully I didn't pay Aero prices either ;) . Overall I couldn't be happier, the deep blue goat hide makes a statement but somehow, quietly.

You Sir, have THE BEST CLOSET period.

Every Thedi jacket here fits perfectly. Well done!



Side zippers are very cool. This one is for side holster right? The Himel pullover shirt also has these side zippers but for slipping on and off I believe.

That would be how I like all my leather to look too. The leather detail on this jacket is insanely good. Love the croc thing going on one the one sleeve. And the earthquake grains on the back. Just perfect.

Really pleased with my new Golden Bear jacket. Leather sleeves and Harris Tweed body. 1/4 the price of my Aero but great fit.

Harris Tweed is awesome!

I thought turning 50 would bring me a newfound sense of decorum, maturity and a taciturn reserve. Yet here I am taking dodgy photos of myself trying to look like a 25 year old rock star :D

Your other jackets in the collections are very nice. But this one takes first place.
