What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

A completely different thing...

All the parts required can be purchased off Amazon. The excelled jacket above, those are parts for repairing a ceiling fan.

Cool. Would you snip the stitches holding the collar in place? I know you like your collars to be free.

I’m not sure I understand. The collar is sewn to the shoulder?

Yeah there's two stitches under each collar holding them in place so I can't spread the collar. I'm trying to determine if they're original or someone added them. If someone added them I have no problem cutting them.

Not original, somebody was afraid to have a legit collar, I would immediately cut those out.

There needs to be a wiki for this, great info!

I've been making these pulls for pennies for years. Super simple to do and it's a beautiful pull design! And if you find yourself at a party with a failing ceiling fan pull...let's just say not all heros wear capes.

Alternatively you could get a 30s clutch with ball and chain zipper pull as a donor.

Impulse buy tagless/local made overcoat (great coat?) from Tallinn, Estonia. From last week.

My perfecto layered with a hoodie, nor my shearling Blake Hedley B3 proved to be effective against Estonian winter. This one is mink lined and it worked. Pairs well with Wrangler Wranchers for a groovy 70s vibe.

Stay warm y'all.

Thedi

Thedi

Aight, you all convinced me. I am getting a Thedi next time Im in Thessaloniki.
Edit: wow this site is unusable rn, or is it just me?

 

[jr30]

Yes, Thedi is really great. I would like to fly to Thessaloniki in autumn. I've been there several times, but I only became aware of Thedi through this forum. Thessaloniki is also a good starting point to discover the 3 peninsulas in the south 'Chalkidiki'. Wonderful place!



And yes, the site is sporadically extremely slow.
