What is this jacket?
This is a custom made 5*.
I had the idea to made a mens version of Amelia Earharts Flight Jacket.

Honestly, I gladly ordered exactly the same jacket if you are not against. I like everything in this jacket. If you are comfortable, please call the name of this leather.
Of course with pleasure.
This is premium goat in seal color.
Black wool cuffs.
When you order, say you want the waistband tight. Unfortunately, there is not enough tension on the waistband of my jacket.

I tried on an Eastman Californian at Standard & Strange in Oakland before I moved, and liked the quality, I think it was a 46 and I decided I needed a long if I were to buy one new.

I put in a bid and won this one off The Bay and my tape has it a bit smaller than the advertised measurements. This 44 regular came in the mail yesterday and I snapped a few fit pics and headed down to the beach for a tumble in the surf. BIG waves this time of year on the East side of the island. I got tossed around good. The life guard commented on how the odd wave occasionally was breaking very far off shore. He obviously had seen me get smacked in the back by one.

I think I can wear the jacket, but it feels just a bit tight and short. The quality lives up to the reputation, with a very nice color and weight horsehide, and the construction is first rate. I may move this on for a 46 long. What say all of you, keeper or no?

Looks great, but I concur that a 46 would probably be easier to live with by still maintaining a good silhouette.

That was indeed an unforgettable Tuesday in Thessaloniki at Thedi's store, well worth a long, exciting journey to pick the perfect jacket up in person!!!
From Hawaii to Thessaloniki - that is indeed a LOOOONG journey! Congrats on the trip and a Thedi jacket.

Thanks!, used from IH Classified's.. I got solid deal too, not quite your Brooks deal level though.

Ah, nice! Looks great. You rock it well. Is IH classifieds on their website? I know there's the outlet page, or is that the same thing?

Yeah, still can't quite believe the deal I got on my Brooks :D

There is an Iron Heart Forum, similar to TFL with a Buy and Sell thread... was probably better for your wallet you didn't know about that.. my apologies in advance for any unnecessary spending
