Appreciate it, yeah I sent a message to Carrie I guess we'll see what she says

 

[HoosierDaddy]

Smart place to jacket shop and Carrie carries ( ha ) the best brands IMO.

Looks incredible. Great fit and great leather.

All good, going back to Carrie and she will have it fixed. Great customer service, to be expected at this point. Carrie will have my business in the future for sure!

 

[HoosierDaddy]

I think Carrie gets out her needle and thread and does the fix herself. You can't beat the good hands on service!

To be fair, I also have done some leather work over the years, but on a jacket this nice and expensive, and being brand new, I feel much safer to have Carrie handling it haha.

Well she resewed a loose button on this Thedi cross button a year or so ago just after I received it. Sewn on with heavy thread just as good as the other buttons from the factory.

That's a great looking jacket. Is that the washed/natural buffalo? I was so close to getting the natural vicenza as I love natural veg tan, however I thought I should go with a jacket I'd love the color with from the getgo for my first custom, instead of one where I will have to wait a bit to get it to where I like it. Def on my wish list though

This is the washed tan buffalo. It has a crisp bees wax protective finish that prevents it from staining and collecting dirty soiled areas as a natural unfinished hide will do. The bees wax finish also helps to repel rain and water spots. However it will darken with age somewhat.

Looks beautiful. Yeah if I was getting it I was considering oiling or conditioning the natural vicenza from the get go to darken it a bit.

Thedi's washed Buffalo is so much better than Aero's Vicenza - I do have a Russet Vicenza Wayfarer and also Thedi's washed Buffalo - here's a recent picture which Theodoros (the owner) posted on Instagram.

Just take out in the sun for as long as you can, this one darkened very quickly during a heatwave in summer as I use it as a riding jacket

Thedi's buffalo is indeed stunning. That newer deerskin they got looks amazing as well.

Looking great. Out of curiosity, how is it feeling after breaking in? Recently got a used CXL jacket and surprised how supple and flexible it is now. This is still a bit stiff which I guess makes sense with veg tan.... but has it been softening up a bit?

Mine is really comfortable, but it was never really stiff.

Starting to just get a little bit of break in, still a lot of work to be done!

just adding my newly fulfilled Aero STF BL thru TB here. Man, that leather smell is nice. I requested a dark and grainy hide and I'm definitely happy with my order.
