Review of my 2nd THEDI Jacket

[jr30]

Hey guys, I need your advice on the Thedi Markos jacket!
I'm really torn on this one.

Overall, I really like the buffalo leather – it's firm yet comfortable and feels great to wear. Even while driving, it doesn’t get in the way, which I definitely can’t say about my FQHH Aero.

But...
I'm struggling with the color and the shawl collar. The color isn’t the easiest to match, and with this type of collar, I’m wondering: does the whole look feel a bit outdated? Especially when paired with a classic T-shirt and denim jeans, it just doesn’t seem to work for me.

Some say this color is something like "signature'"of Thedi, but I don’t necessarily want to give off a "bohemian" or overly unconventional vibe (sorry for my English). Any ideas on how to style it in a more urban and modern way? Or is it time to let it go?

Looking forward to your honest opinions and suggestions! Thanks in advance!
Roman

I do really like the model, but like you said the lighter brown color is kinda hard to match, so a pair of boots/shoes in a similar color to match with would be great(I for one love to match my jacket with my shoes ).

Also I think shirts(flannels, oxford button downs and such) works great with a shawl collar(fills up the space almost like a blazer or similar, very nice), so try out some shirts with it

Overall I think it's a great jacket that fits you well, but I also know I would have a hard time wearing a natural colored jacket because of the whole matching thing

Hope this made sense haha, cheers!

I am not a fan of the shawl collar but the jacket looks great and I don't think there's anything that doesn't fit a pair of jeans and a plain tshirt like in your first post (maybe a suit blazer ). As a pretty urban guy, I don't see the problem with the color, perhaps the only thing is that this will likely be your statement piece no matter what you combine it with, but that would also happen with any classic cross zip.
