    How to really soften stiff, thick leather? Extreme methods only!

    One thing I tried that seems to have worked really well on an old Lewis jacket from the 70s that was like cardboard was to unpick a few seams in the lining and then use a cloth soaked in pure neatsfoot oil (not the compound version) to the inside of the leather on the suede surface. This...

    What is your favorite aircraft of all time?

    F14 Tomcat for me too…..SR71 Blackbird a very close second though! On this side of the pond I think it would have to be the Vulcan.

    Cordovan leather jackets - what do you really think?

    Out of these three, the Thedi - its in a totally different league from the others tbh, but I really like all of them in different ways….each has its purpose, so they don't duplicate one another.

    I have already posted these elsewhere in TFL, but thought it might also be useful to collate and share them here on the dedicated Thedi thread…..”burgundy” midweight HH, with brown and black detachable mouton collars….one of my very favourite and also most versatile jackets, and incredibly...

    Cordovan leather jackets - what do you really think?

    I have 3 jackets in cordovan/ox-blood/burgundy of different weights and styles - it is the most versatile colour for a leather jacket imo, and can be dressed ip or down easily depending on the style of the jacket, and also works with black, brown, blue etc in the rest of the ensemble. The Thedi...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I think they only offer this lining in the main jacket for the Western, otherwise it is just used in the sleeves for other models?

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Ah - I see your thinking! I have a similar dilemma but went down a different path….I have a few LLs in different styles and colours etc, but the SM is one itch I think I cannot resist scratching, although the Cyclone is the other final fork in the road. Will have to cogitate a bit longer and...

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Sounds great - did you go for light or dark brown sheep? I am toying with going for a Super Monza sometime soon, but cannot decide on brown sheep or black vegecow….I think either could work really nicely with the padding once it starts wearing in….but in the meantime my BRG Western order is...
