I like the jeans.. those the herringbone from Gustin?
Thanks, not Gustin they are from Soso (the classic cut).

So hot still in Madrid, a few 38-40c days still, having a vintage day going to a classic music bar later, cotton jacket 80s, vintage jeans 70s, 60s loafers and the union jack shirt I bought when I saw Def Leopard 1986, course, classic raybans :D View attachment 718127
Austin Powers vibes :p

I was in Madrid early June and I thought I was going to melt, shorts and a tshirt were already too much in 30-35ºC!

Olive cowhide Thedi arrived yesterday. To put it bluntly, the sizing is off (I’ve lost two kg since I ordered it, which is a sort of blessing, because it would have been smaller on me if I hadn’t). It’s a very well-made jacket and the colour is great, zippers are chunky. The lining is great. Total wait time was three months which I think, considering the beauty of the thing overall, is quite fast.

It’s a good thing I am committed to losing weight and that this will probably fit properly in a month or two. The hide will break in, but I am surprised that the measurements that have resulted in a properly fitting Aero HB and Work Coat (and an SB Klondike) did not result in a jacket that fit, even though I can wear it open until I get down to dimensions that this jacket will accommodate. It’s a bit like bashing your head to fit a helmet: at this expense, I am now sure that I’ve gotten off lightly - this will fit in time, but wouldn’t have done if my dimensions were ones I wanted to keep.

Sorry to hear that mate, sounds like a rough outcome :( Gorgeous jacket I'm sure (can't tell from the photos). Fingers crossed that this becomes a strong additional motivator for the weight loss!
