I’m digging my Bainbridge abyss blue. But it’s pretty shiny, more than any other leather I’ve had. Looks very glossy, even after a hard rain… what jacket are you working on?
Jin congrats on the new jacket! Looks terrific!
about that wavy zipper… I have three Thedis with zippers, two are washed Buffalo and one is washed goatskin. All three of them have the wavy zipper and it honestly hasn’t relaxed much over time yet. I also have a fourth Thedi, button style...
Marc, would you mind telling me what size your jacket was tagged as off the rack? You and I are basically the same size (5'11", 175 lbs) if I remember correctly, and I'm tempted just to buy the tagged size rather than try to do the measurements myself.. If you happen to have the measurements of...
nice. You absolutely nailed the fit, no surprise. Did he just measure you up and take it from there? I’m a little nervous about doing this without ever trying it on. Curious if you asked for a shorter body length also.
Marc, love your jacket! I actually contacted Thedi about the exact same one a few weeks ago—any tips or pointers now that you’ve owned it for a bit? How do you like the canvas feel so far on both of yours?
congrats on what look like some keepers for sure!!
Don’t have any IH jackets but their OD jeans are black with midnight blue undertones, and the blue gets more pronounced with wear. I saw an OD denim jacket that had been worn for about a year and it was fading beautifully, again with midnight blue. Next to true black it looks midnight blue to me...
Agree w Sheene!
I had a very cool Sheene in 40 where shoulders were great without gussets but was too tight in the waist for me. My size 42 BR fits better overall for me, but has shoulder gussets and is Bainbridge which is softer/thinner. I also have a thinner lining in the BR which seems to...
Good luck—if you liked the length of the TS Moto, I think you will find the highwayman too short. I’d go for the 30s HB. You have to size down the HWM to make it ‘fitted’ and it’s still sort of boxy.
If I were you, I’d consider both the Aero Sheene with the waist let out a bit and the 30s HB...
Thanks everybody! Will try to get some more pics in sunlight over the weekend. Definitely the blue is more pronounced in sunlight. It’s an amazing blue. I was wondering whether it would appear too dark based on the early photos of Bainbridge but it’s clearly blue, not black. I also prefer it to...
Overall it feels mid-weight, closer to Vicenza. Definitely lighter than CXL not just in weight but also much more pliable. This is supposed to have a really quick break in, and I can see why. It’s a pretty soft leather. Although I love the depth of color of cxl, this is right up there or better!
New jacket just arrived!
Aero Board Racer in Abyss Blue Bainbridge. This color is just spectacular. The photos don’t even come close—it has a really deep glow of midnight navy, not purplish (can almost appear that way in pictures with flash), not greenish. It’s less blue to the eye than the TB...
