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

Received this beautiful Thedi today from @technovox

Took some quick pics in my office to share, they of course don’t do it justice. It’s heftier than I expected, in a good way. Feels great on. Just amazing work and beautiful materials.

Better pics down the line when I’m wearing it

Just got a second round of higher res pics, the hide looks incredible:

It made it to the website in the end...

"Buco J24 in Customer-Supplied 5.0+ Oz. Dark Gray Finnish Moosehide Tanned To Order..
A One-Of-A-Kind Lost Worlds Jacket.
"

Edit: I spoke to Stuart, apparently the stud work alone took an entire day to complete. He says the sponginess and thickness of the hide made the operation very technical compared to working on the usual horse hide.
Stu maybe outta just name this one “The Carlos“ and be done with it.

As I'm really happy with the quality of my first Shangri-La Heritage suede Trucker which is made in Italy and as I'm looking for something different I'm seriously considering thie Varenne Desert Navajo wool jacket but two things do concern me:
1) Why is this jacket more expensive than their leather jackets (875€). It has veg tanned lambskin applications and probably the wool knitting (by hand?) is more time consuming
2) If I still like this special jacket in a couple of years

What do you guys think?

Glad you got it. Does the cuff seam need a repair? You got a good price even if you have to send it off to get fixed. These are cool.
It does need a little seam repair. Most of the British Cycle Leathers I see seem the worse for wear but this one is in pretty good shape. I'm pretty happy with it. I've got a couple of jackets I need to send to Dena for some work, probably this one as well.

Been looking awhile for one of the Canadian made versions of the “Cycle Champ” with no luck and finally gave up. This one popped up yesterday
So nice, I inherited a gorgeous green rider from a brother in law a few years ago (it sparked my interest in leather jackets actually) but I just couldn’t get on with the neck position, too far forward and I would get headaches whenever I wore it.
So I gave it to another brother in law and he loves it, wears it all the time.

True confesion: I've really struggled to understand the popularity of Thedi here up until now. Thsi jacket is superb and I'm now starting to 'get it'. Well done!

Second grey moose hide jacket is ready, they are both shipping today.

To say i am excited is an understatement, i cannot freaking wait!

And here was No1 in case you missed it:

jvn6gHm.jpg

xjPxExV.jpg

Both of these will remain unique, @red devil and I decided to only have a single jacket made from each different design we order, each grey moose jacket made will be 1 of 1.
I picked J-24 and LT/A, he picked LT/B and Trenchcoat, meaning i can't order a LT/B or trench in that hide for myself and he can't order a J-24 or LT/A in that hide for himself...
We thought it would make the entire process more special.

That must've been an interesting process, who gets which design spin the wheel!
Did you request flawless hides or did you order extra and cut away the scars? Usually game animals like moose has lots of scratches and arrow marks and all.
The color now looks like very dark navy. These are very special leather!

Very impressive jackets! Can’t wait to see you wearing them! The LT/B picked by @red devil is the perfect choice IMO.
