    Thedi Hector Crosszip for sale, 42-44

    Selling my Thedi Hector in Espresso brown. It's a Thedi XL, which translates to a trim 44 with most other brands I've got experience with, or a 42 with a bit more room to throw a hoody under comfortably. When I bought this jacket, I had really high hopes for it becoming my #1 go-to leather...

    Ever come across a high quality canvas or waxed canvas Cafe Racer?

    Limited sizing available on these right now, but they're on sale and might be what you're looking for. https://tripleaughtdesign.com/shop/rogue-wx-jacket/ I've got two of their denim cafe racer jackets and am pretty happy with them

    Irregularities in leather - what's acceptable and what's not?

    Theodoros, thank you so much! I will definitely be in contact about the details for shipping the jacket back, and really appreciate your attention for what many people don't think is much of a problem. Some members suspected they're sewing machine holes, but they do not penetrate completely...

    Irregularities in leather - what's acceptable and what's not?

    I used to work for a couple of grouches, and always worry that what I read and what I write is going to come off grouchy because I'm so used to reading grouchy memos. I'd like to stress, I'm typing this with a conversational tone (internally), non-contentiously, and have enjoyed reading...

    Irregularities in leather - what's acceptable and what's not?

    I messaged Carrie tonight to see if it would be possible to send back to Thedi for another. Given the "custom" nature of ordering a Thedi and the fact I've had it for about a week, I'm not optimistic.

    Irregularities in leather - what's acceptable and what's not?

    Carrie recommended leaving them alone. I don't like the idea of having to fix anything on a jacket that cost over $1300. The more I'm thinking about this, the more I'm bummed out that they're there, but I'm pretty sure if sending it back were an option, I'd just end up receiving another jacket...

    Irregularities in leather - what's acceptable and what's not?

    Big J those are the spots. Up close, they don't appear to penetrate through the hide, so I'm not sure if they were on the hide prior to assembly or not, and that their lining up with the stitching may be a coincidence. I am not crazy about them being there, for sure, but the rest of the jacket...

    Irregularities in leather - what's acceptable and what's not?

    Gotta clarify - I didn't post to complain. Just curious how picky you guys are about these sorts of things, versus other sorts of things, etc. (For the record, it's those "holes" on mine. I actually dig the darker lines on the collar a lot). One of my favorite jackets I own currently is a...

    Irregularities in leather - what's acceptable and what's not?

    I recently took delivery of a long awaited Thedi Hector from Thurston Bros, and there are a small number of tiny gouges/holes in the topcoat of the leather, including a trio on one of the lapels near where it meets the collar that are setting my OCD off like crazy. I checked with Carrie and was...

    Pegasus steer vs horse?

    I'm getting the itch to purchase a Pegasus D Pocket S, but based on first hand experience, the quick wearing nature of the topcoat on their horsehide is not my cup of tea. Does anyone have experience with both their hides who can comment on how they compare? Pegasus steerhide owners - what are...

    Pegasus horsehide - what it's like?

    I'm definitely biased lol. Almost all the nice jackets I've owned have been Vansons, plus one LW Trojan I regret selling. I am very curious if Pegasus's steer wears as quickly their HH though.

    Pegasus horsehide - what it's like?

    Agreed. The other issue with that type of wear is the high wear areas on the jacket look super worn, but the low wear areas still look like new. You don't end up with a jacket that looks like it's got an authentic aging/patina. You end up with what looks like a new jacket (because it is) with...

    Pegasus horsehide - what it's like?

    Plenty of room for disagreement on something like this. Different strokes for different folks, and I'm psyched you are happy with yours. I gotta say, I love the design of those Pegasus D Pockets. Might be the favorite design I've ever worn. Tied for 1st anyways. I'm all for "wear" on leather...

    Pegasus horsehide - what it's like?

    Found the photos from my 2nd Pegasus D pocket from when I went to sell it on eBay. This is the wear on the left wrist/forearm after a being worn for about a week, wearing it in my car, to and from an office job. I'm left handed, the wear wasn't as pronounced on the right arm. My first...

    Pegasus horsehide - what it's like?

    I've owned two of their D pockets. The hand and thickness of their horsehide is nice, but the top coat wears so quickly I honestly thought there was something wrong with it. I've got photos I'll see if I can dig up later. But the top coat on the wrists on mine had more wear and abrading after 2...

    I'm 5'10, slightly long torso. 32" labeled inseam on my Levi's 505's (although my actual inseam is probably closer to 30). I weighed just about 190 when I ordered the jacket. When it arrived, I weighed 169 (still 5'10, :p ). Still fits, but w/more room for layering underneath, which isn't the...
