This colour is great. In this pic, on my screen, the jacket looks brown, and yet in other photos it's clearly grey. It all depends, no doubt, on the the light. And my favourite Thedi design as well.

It is a very unusual color indeed, Benny. A brownish gray..or a grayish brown. Either grey with a brown wash..or brown with a grey wash ( hard to tell ) then finished with a crisp smooth bees wax coating that seems to also give it an antiqued worn appearance. I quite like the affect.

@HoosierDaddy your grey/brown Thedi is buffalo hide, correct?

Thedi Zip-up Hektor Grey Washed Buffalo is how this jacket is titled

View attachment 215689 Not great I know but you get the idea. Stuart was perfect on the fit, nice and trim without being at all tight. I agree with Tom71 that the 3.5 oz horsehide is quite wearable right out of the box. The jacket is quite creaky and squeaky so I am wettimg it down with the water bottle and walking around the house windmilling my arms, normal behavior for one of us jacket people.
I will get some better pictures taken tomorrow and post them for you guys, this is too nice a jacket not to share with everyone.

Nice ! Man that back yoke sets that ryder off, more pics please, well done

This jacket looks amazing. I am always amazed when I see it. Leather shows a beautiful patina. A real jacket loves hard handling and then it shows its character in response

Thanks man. It really feels good at this point and I really like the character it's developing
Seems like a leather that has flown under the radar or not readily available from the usual suspects.
