    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Yea, in the few days I've owned it, Badalassi sure is my squeakiest leather so far, followed by my Schott horsehide. I love them both!

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

    It sure as heck doesn't look like Vicenza and it's absolutely not CXL as it's not pull up and they don't make any color close to that. Maybe it's natural or tan jerky?

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    LOL another serious reinforcement for the "never buy a Himel jacket new" theory. That's a huge loss for this guy.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I haven't emailed them yet because I'm not sure I want to go down this rabbit hole currently, but does anyone know if they have access to very light wearing and light colored hides like natural or cream or off-white?

    Looks fantastic! You always have such great fits.

    Thedi now has a website!

    We don't have VAT in the US, at least not like Europe. So TB pays a non-VAT price, buying in bulk and they will also save on customs duties that one would typically get dinged with on any jacket valued over $800 USD. Depending on the state you live in, that's anywhere from 6-9% approximately...

    Thedi now has a website!

    I would agree that Thedi's button sewing technique is beyond equal. The leather buttons on my shawl collar canvas jacket are just gorgeous.

    Lost Worlds B-2 Flight Jacket

    That's a cool design! I particularly like the collar when it's buttoned up. Very cool.

    Gustin’s new L4 in Horween Horsehide

    They brought in a great amount of beautiful fabrics this season. I particularly liked this one, but I have no need for more winter jackets.

    Valstar jackets

    I would love to see that Valstarino suede when you get it. They are a fantastic brand and well respected in classic menswear. I always like their suede A-1s.

    Gustin’s new L4 in Horween Horsehide

    Check out their polo coat and balmaccan. It's incredible value.

    Gustin’s new L4 in Horween Horsehide

    Laugh if you guys want, but 90% of my closet comes from Spier & Mackay. In my opinion, there is not a better brand in classic menswear for the price. They have a large following on Styleforum.

    That looks fantastic. Which leather is that?

    Thedi now has a website!

    Just reiterate again in the next email reply your specs and everything you want exactly. Yes, the language is not perfect, but if you just politely repeat yourself and ask if it's understood then you'll be happier in the end knowing you are on the same page.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Thanks guys! It's funny because it's this jacket that made me start following @dudewuttheheck on IG, so clearly it was indeed always intended to be in my hands. I'm glad I never ended up ordering it from Aero direct as I originally planned to :).

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    My new to me Aero A-1, formerly the brainchild of @dudewuttheheck and made by Greg Field when he was still with Aero. Badalassi tobacco cowhide and olive knits and thread. I always loved Aero’s A-1 design even more so than the more accurate reproductions on the market today, so I’m pretty...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    I understand most would do that, but also sometimes life just gets in the way and you have to let go of something. Or let's say your body changes over time and you can no longer fit something. To lose a few hundred bucks on another brand like Vanson, Aero, Thedi, Kelso, etc. is acceptable...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    I've never seen a single Himel jacket sell anywhere close to what he charges retail. You literally lose a Thedi or Aero brand new as soon as he ships it out the door. With that said, he does make some nice looking jackets, but I hate his label. It's so B level and makes the jacket seem cheap.

    Thedi now has a website!

    You can't really go by tag size with Thedi, I've found. Some models fit different than others.
