So to continue from where the first post ended, I obviously went there with my #MTC-127915 in Tan Buffalo. Alexandra was quick to check it out as she had been the one to ship it. And later when Theodoros arrived at the shop, he also immediately went to examine it, checking the hide, looking to see how everything had been holding up and then said "you've been wearing it often". He really loved how the leather has darkened, I guess all these days wearing it while riding in the heat wave in London have really paid off. The sun has done a good job
He loves veg tanned leather because it really tells the story of a jacket, my jacket now needs to experience winter and the rain. That will be the next chapter!
I guess the best thing you can do for such a passionate craftsman is show him that you are using what he made... This is something we should all remember (not trying to be preachy, but this is something I really felt this time). And as he says, his jackets show their story
We discussed future jackets as well
So to keep it short, we are finalising the specs for two very unique jackets, one will be a cafe racer type, the other a grizzly! I will not say more for now as they are not yet fully specced. Also this one in green will be coming soon
I ordered it about a year ago, and kept hesitating on size (my weight has fluctuated quite a bit), and then hesitated on the leathers & colours. But ironically (or maybe not so much), I have gone full circle to a dark green buffalo. So yeah, this one is finally coming and the delays were all due to my indecision! I will most likely enjoy it the more because of this story
I also discussed extensively leather types with Theodoros, and it is very clear that he is constantly hunting for new material. I asked him about Badalassi leather and it turns out that he has recently placed the order after meeting with the owner. So @dudewuttheheck , you have a good reason to start thinking about your first Thedi
Also, in January, he is releasing the new collection, waiting to see how that comes out!
All in all Theodoros and Alexandra are fantastic hosts and really took very good care of me!
Did you spot there couple of 3XL jackets that should be shipping to Finland in couple of weeks?
That's a beautiful design and I can't wait to see it in dark green.So to continue from where the first post ended, I obviously went there with my #MTC-127915 in Tan Buffalo.

Since you like the green leather, it'd be fun to see a grizzly style done with "greedo" jacket coloring
Oh I couldn't. I have high blood pressure and that would Redd Foxx my ass right to an early grave.
Every picture tells a story, don't it? That's an impressive inventory they keep. What's that bike, a Suzuki TU250X?I thought the first post should have all the pics
Will follow this post a bit later
That bike's a beezer.
