    I Flew To Scotland to Pick up My Aero Leather Coat in Person

    Nice trip and fabulous jacket. Really like the newsboy cap as well! Hopefully, you will get to wear the snot out of it before our Colorado weather gets too cold. I have a very thin Eddie Bauer down vest that I wear to get another 15 degrees of range.

    Awesome Hektor!!! After having a button up Thedi, I really do not like a zipper front. :-(

    How tight should a leather jacket fit?

    From my limited experience.…. A jacket that is tight and slightly restrictive at first may conform to the point of being bearable at worst and comfortable at best. A jacket that is uncomfortable at first will remain so. A jacket that is comfortable out of the gate is the one you will always...

    Status of Thedi Leathers?

    When I went through Thurston for my Thedi and asked Carrie for an update, she mentioned that it sometimes takes a long time for even her to get updates from Theo. However, he has a proven track record of delivering even if things may take longer than expected. It does seem as though he is going...

    Post Thedi Leather Jacket Photos Here........

    A little late in posting photos of my first Thed….. I went with the Niko in an XL through Thurston Brothers in Cuio Buffalo. Carrie tweaked the arm length a bit and had Theodoros drop the back length about a half inch to even out the normal sharp front drop. I also modified the design by...

    Aero Jacket Sizing Help

    I have a Seven in a size 44. I wear a 41 regular fit or 42 trim fit suit jacket. Honestly, I probably would have been happier with either one more size up or a different pattern. Mine looks great on but it is still a bit restrictive With anything more than a single layer shirt. I just received...

    Waiting Too Long ruining excitement?

    Worth the 9 months wait! While I only needed minor adjustments to Thedi’s stock XL sizing in this model, by going full custom, I was able to drop the patch pockets that were functionally unusable for me. So, for custom specs…. yes, it’s worth the wait.

    Waiting Too Long ruining excitement?

    Funny to see this thread now…. Last September I ordered a Thedi Niko through Thurston and Carrie thought at the time it would be about 8 weeks. I thought 12-16 was what I was expecting to wait. Well…. supply problems with the tannery pushed thing out a few months. Then Theodoros’ trade show...

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    Well, let me speak on the virtues of minwax. I used it to stain some concrete. This first was accidental. The second on purpose. Looked so good two of my neighbors did the same. What could go wrong?

    Seeking Advice for a Custom Jacket

    Ask about armhole height. OTR jackets are made with low armholes for day to day comfort and not function when riding. They also produce the dreaded batwing effect of lifting the body up when raising the arms and, depending on sleeve diameter, the pulling effect you me mentioned. Higher armholes...

    do your view on clothes change after covid?

    Yes to that on shoes and clothes. I have not worn some of my C&J or EGs in two years And it has been substantially longer than that since I put on a tie and sportcoat.

    Aero Seven fit check

    x2 on the concerns for the pits. On the Seven, they are close and tight. If the shoulders feel too narrow, I imagine this may be an issue for you. I would go custom and add around .5 -.75 to the sleeves and maybe .50 in the shoulder if it feels tight. My Vicenza Seven has taken 2 years of...

    Post Thedi Leather Jacket Photos Here........

    Went through Carrie, so ”No”. However, they had a supply shortage of the hide and that delayed things several months. And, of course, they are making some substantial mods for me in cut and pocket layout. Hopefully it will be here in a few weeks. No big worry but I was looking forward to...

    PAINT A BLACK LEATHER JACKET

    I use Obenaufs in my winter boots and the color shift lasts for a whole year on average. However, the have been done 3-4 times by now.
