Lovely jacket. Thedis are my favorite with their waxed leather. Just wish this was a large!

Why all thedi jackets look spongy? Whats up with them
What's up with you. Seems to me that you don't have a clue what you're talking about. Have you ever handled a (buffalo) Thedi?

No. That's why I am asking? A perfectly fair question as there are extreme examples of this, with the zipper floating all over Greece like below. What particular process causes this?

Ah, it's the wavy zipper you're referring to. That doesn't have anything to do with a spongy hide. Thedi has a way of processing a jacket to give it an aged look, which they call 'washing'. I think it involves heating / tumbling the jacket. The result is leather with lots of character but also a wavy zipper.

Here's a pic of a brand new washed horsehide jacket (not spongy at all). As you can see it also comes with a wavy zipper.

Feels lighter and less stiff than CXL and easier to break in, but it is not a light leather.

Hi, what are your body measurements? I am 177 cm and weigh 70 kg. Could this fit? I usually wear a 38 in Mister Freedom Campus and Aero Leather jackets.
