    Thurston Bros. - Official Affiliate Thread

    I suspect it's not our computers. Instead it's likely the download bandwidth of our home networks. I just let mine sit for 30 seconds and it's usually good to scroll.

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

    Looks awesome. And, 9 months lets me know how much longer I need to wait. I made my order in late April. I'm not quite 6 months in, so I might be lucky to get it by the New Year.

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

    Gorgeous leather. You did a great job on the photos. I made the same choice back in April, sight unseen, so seeing your up close photos gives me a lot more reassurance. There grain looks great, as does the color itself.

    A visit to leather jacket heaven in Thessaloniki - Thedi Leathers!

    I was there almost 10 years ago for a work trip to Bulgaria. Walking along water I thought it reminded me of Baltimore.

    FS (possibly) - Brand New THEDI Aviator (Cowhide, Small)

    I ordered the same model with different leather and some other differences, but if it comes back fitting that well, I'll be happy. I probably had the same fit jacket as you, but I needed to go the other way. I asked for it to be half-way between the medium and the large for the shoulders and...

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

    I don't think I can give you a huge amount of advice as my first Thedi is currently being made up. I ordered at the end of April. I ordered a fit jacket from Thurston Bros. It was tight in the chest and shoulders. When i sent back the pics, Carrie said it looked like a good tight fit, but...

    Thedi handwashed cowhide

    I ordered this style myself, with some differences in materials. I went through Thurston with a fit jacket, which I hope I made the right changes to. (fingers crossed) Mine will be washed espresso buffalo with an olive cotton drill lining. It's been almost 3 months, but I was told it could be...

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    In the Alden community, sun faded color #8 is sought after as long as it's relatively even between the two shoes. There is an expectation that different panels may not fade equally.

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    I have one pair of C&J handgrade, one benchgrade, 6 pairs of Alfred Sargents, 8 pairs of Aldens, and one Edward Green. Edward Green are the finest of them all. It's in a different class among those I own. The finishing of the leather, closeness of the welt, and stitching of the upper are all...

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    My boot collection. The top row are all Aldens. The two newest arrivals are the plaza lasted cigar shell and the grant lasted whiskey shell next to them. The bottom row includes a dress balmoral boot from Crockett and Jones and two from Alfred Sargent. I don't have enough jackets to pair with...

    Fit pics of my Thedi MTG-162707

    A group I was with drove from Sofia to Thessaloniki about 8 years ago. It was in summer and there was an uncharacteristic heatwave in the region. The drive was a lot longer than the cab drivers told us they would be and much of the highway once we entered Greece was in disrepair (it was during...

    Planning my first jacket

    Thanks for your experience. Cotton drill lining appears to be the universal advice. Appreciate the info about the non-zip hand warmers and gussets. Will definitely use Thurston when the time comes.

    Planning my first jacket

    Definitely looks more toned down. I'm sure years of use will age it nicely.

    Planning my first jacket

    I'm not in a rush to order myself. I need to make sure my family gets through this financially before I throw down cash on a luxury purchase. I'll check out your thread on drill linings.

    Planning my first jacket

    Thanks. Love your jacket. I think you have similar taste to what I was thinking for a lot of features. I get what you mean about naturally aged brass versus artificially aged. It does look good in your photos, but it's very uniform in color. Your find flap is exactly what I was thinking of...

    Planning my first jacket

    Thanks for your advice. From my experience with tailored clothes, I get what you mean regarding fit and will definitely reach out to Carrie when the time comes.

    Planning my first jacket

    Thanks for the advice. Will definitely reach out to Carrie when I'm ready to begin the process. I will definitely need help with the fit given my short arms and relatively (for my height) broad shoulders.

    Planning my first jacket

    Thanks. Seems cotton drill is a nearly universal recommendation among those with a lot of experience. In the cold I'll be wearing wool sweaters. In the warm, just buttoned shirts or t-shirts.
