Hello Everyone,
I posted about this brown/teacore/vegetable-tanned cowhide jacket (Thedi model MTC-1279406) back in September when I first received it from Thurston Brothers, so some of you may have seen it then. This was my dream leather jacket, and I think it's absolutely beautiful, but something about it just doesn't suit my style. Maybe it's the fit (longer than I expected), maybe it's the color (darker than I expected), or maybe I'm just crazy (because I never take my pills). I want to love it, but so far I've only worn it once to Starbucks (which is next door to my apartment), and every time I leave my place I find myself grabbing literally every other jacket I own before even considering this one. As such, I think it's time to admit that this beauty just doesn't belong in my closet. I believe that leather jackets should be worn nonstop until the owner's death (at which point they should adorn the corpse inside the casket), and since that isn't happening here, it should go and live with somebody who'll give it the love it deserves. The sizing is as follows:
1) Chest - 20.25 inches
2) Shoulders - 17.50 inches
3) Waist - 18.50 inches
4) Sleeves - 23.50 inches
5) Back - 23.25 inches
From Thurston, this jacket cost $1,599, and I'm letting it go for $1,250 + shipping to anywhere in the United States. Sorry to everyone who lives outside the US, but I recently shipped a wrist watch to France, and it's been sitting in French customs for thirteen days straight, so now I'm extremely paranoid about shipping internationally.
Oh, and before I forget...the cowhide on this smells absolutely amazing. My girlfriend has spent more time smelling this jacket than I've spent wearing it, and that's not an exaggeration. I don't know how long that smell will last, but after being in my closet for more than a month, it doesn't show any signs of slowing down.
