@Marc mndt Thank you for sharing. Fantastic line up and absolutely outstanding Leather Jackets, well done!I hear you, I feel like my collection is nearing completion. More than enough amazing jackets to enjoy, both vintage and repro.
Good question but actually quite an easy one to answer.
My all time favorite jacket is my first Thedi. I was told I'm not allowed to discuss fit so I'll stick to materials and craftsmanship. Construction of this jacket is 100% flawless, lots of nice details like corduroy lined pockets and the leather armpit inserts, beautiful full aniline horsehide.

Second favorite, my Field Leathers aviator. Although not 100% flawless, the construction is very neat. Nice details like original 30s buttons and zipper. Beautiful semi aniline leather, the graining is really something. It looks and feels like a vintage original.

Third favorite, my Regius aviator. Construction quality is similar to the Field Leathers, neat but not 100% flawless. Lots of interesting details like the stitching on the sleeve adjusters, panelled (top stitched!) lining, corduroy lined pockets, union label and amazing inverted pleats on the back. The hermann oak heritage steerhide is like nothing else. Thick and firm without being stiff. Hardware is original 30s.
