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.
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?

Now that it has just gotten significantly warmer, I can let shearlings hang and wear LL. View attachment 391737

From Hawaii to Thessaloniki - that is indeed a LOOOONG journey! Congrats on the trip and a Thedi jacket.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!!!
Looks pristine. Christmas gift?
Thanks!, used from IH Classified's.. I got solid deal too, not quite your Brooks deal level though.
Is IH classifieds on their website? I know there's the outlet page, or is that the same thing?
