Wow, the hide on that Thedi is crazy awesome! Is that the buffalo?

Yes it‘s their Cocoa Buffalo, no filter (outdoor):

Thanks! I think I should be kicked out of the lounge if I ever sold this jacket.

Fair point. I'm used to having to size down, so maybe I'm just not used to a proper fitting jacket that doesn't look too big.

Thanks! This definitely makes me want to look for more Sportclad jackets specifically.

The Vanson is probably my best fitting jacket, but this one is close. This one is slightly more comfortable, but the Vanson has that taper to the waist that I love.

Yeah I think you and everyone else who has said this is correct. I'm so used to having to size down that I need to get used to an actual proper fit

Yeah basically everything about it is perfect. The hide, color, and aging on it are beyond what I could hope for. Plus, the perfect condition of the tags and liner is a dream come true.

Yeah I agree. Everything I have or did have pales in comparison to this. Its the kind of jacket that re-ignites my love of lesther jackets, while simultaneously being so good that ill never match it with anything else i could buy. I overuse the term "grail," but this is one of only 2 items I own that actually deserve the title.

Glad to hear it! I'm so used to having to size down

Totally agree Dude. That jacket’s a lifer.
I’d prob tell you not to sell it if you offered anyway. Save that one for your kid someday!

Next installment from the "Waiting for my wife at the mall" series. I do not get into malls anymore, can't take'em. Prefer to be outside in the parking lot taking pics of myself in my Cal, lol.

Only tried on, but I just received a badass Cal with the help of @JMax . Couldn't even wait for the conditioner to dry up before posting a couple photos

Just received this HH jacket a little while ago. No maker tag in the jacket but maybe someone more knowledgeable that I can shed some light. Anyway, here it is.

Edit: I found a couple little tags in then lower pockets. No idea if useful for ID purposes.

Looks a lot like this Nelco

Just received this vintage Levi’s suede trucker (early 70s apparently). Picked it up on eBay. I don’t think the seller’s measurements were very accurate, but it seems to fit well apart from the very short arms. There’s a bit of extra material on the sleeve, so I probably could have them lengthened, but the patina would look strange in that area. It’s less pronounced when I don’t wear long sleeves. Not sure if I should try to clean it or leave it as is. Anyway, pretty happy with it for the price I paid!

Adding another recent eBay find. This Lee trucker arrived yesterday. Seller claimed 70’s.

Looks like an amazing pattern. I'd bet it would look awesome in a good leather.

Just arrived in HK with a replacement zip. Thirteen-year old Highwayman (with D-rings, too). My first Aero purchase which started off the madness and enjoyment of an admittedly strange journey... It reminds me that I need to wear in the new tan steer hide Cafe Racer: hopefully there will be some hard rains to take it out in.

It's ok - the CR was ordered over a year and a bit before while I was locked down; I picked it up from the UK and now it's free to shock people in Wan Chai.




And the Plainsman...
