What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[Marc mndt]

Delivered today and I absolutely love it. Thedi buffalo cossack.

OTR and it's almost perfect. Only thing I would change if this was a custom build would be the body length. I would like it 1' shorter.

I love it. This is another reminder of how good Thedi's really are.

This gold label Brooks just arrived off of eBay. Grain is crazy good. Fit is perfect imo. I needed this after the oversized wrangler.
But damn. Every time I find some cheap and amazing vintage thing I feel so stupid with the amount of expensive high end jackets that I’ve bought. Cause this is just as nice if not nicer than many jackets I have and have had that cost more than 5 times as much.

Congratulations! Beautiful jacket, IMO perfect fit and body length looks good to me but tastes are different and I also like the flap pocket design! If I hadn't a shawl collar jacket already, this would be my choice!

I got one in the caramel/mustard color that Terry flagged for me. It's awesome . The wind flap is kind of weird looking imo (is more two toned on the light brown) when wearing with zipper open. Thinking about cutting it out, but the fit is just about perfect. I had a tailor cut out the biswing elastic because it was worthless after decades and a lot of the material was bunching up behind the arm pit. Instead he stitched it up a little bit to tighten. It fits me just as good as anything I paid $800+ for.

Jacket delivery day is the best day .
Real nice all around, haven’t seen flap pockets on this style before and I like it. I do agree that an inch shorter would make it even better though might be that the angle of the photo exaggerates the length.

I've said this before but a good Brooks cafe racer to my eye looks superior to any high end Buco or cafe racer knock off from any artisan maker. They aren't all that well made, the leather is thin, the lining synthetic, the stitching often errant, but that's the reason I like leather jackets right there.

I have the exact same feeling.

Thanks buddy!

It is definitely thin, thinner even than the other Brooks I had that was too big for me. But there’s something about it. It feels like a leather jacket should feel.

Somehow Brooks tailoring remains largely unrivaled for a CR. Between Brooks and Bates...it’s a coin toss. They just knew how to cut them.

Cal for me. One with the gussets. Best CR ever made. Ever!

Fair enough but I love light weight leather so Brooks wins for me.

Brooks is a close second for me. They're essentially the same, just that Cal doesn't have the big action back and has a more shaped silhouette while Brooks is straight but otherwise it's a stellar jacket. That I don't have.

Anyone tried a new brooks jacket or is that a different company now? Price looks good

It's a different company that owns the name and the patterns.

Nice people and looks like good value. Jamie the owner posted here a couple of time and I've spoken to him off line.

The jackets are slightly different in detail and hardware. And a way heavier 3.5oz hide. There are two version of this one now. Frankly I miss the lighter steer-hide and the teardrop talon chest zips.

I don't know about your other (high end) jackets, the ones I've seen look just as great. But this one does look ridiculously cool. Congrats!

I wasn't sure about the flap pockets either. They do resemble the baracuta g9. But now that I've actually worn it, I think those flap pockets look just fine.
I'm on a one in one out regime now so I sold this RRL cossack to make room for this Thedi.

Now my girlfriend tells me she liked the RRL better. Of course, in terms of quality the RRL is no match for the Thedi. But I think I do like the length of the rrl better. The rrl was 24'. The Thedi is 25'.
Maybe it's just a matter of getting used to it...

I think we've also solved the Bradley Cooper jacket mystery!
Great looking jacket @torfjord!
