What size did you go for? I can’t remember if you mentioned it. It does look awesome.

Agreed 100%.

This is a common misconception but that’s not actually Frankenstein, it’s Frankenstein’s monster, which was created as a custom order from Dr. Frankenstein himself to Five Star Leathers back in the day…

Thank you for your service. Not all heroes wear capes, some wear vintage leather jackets.

The jacket arrived this morning in Oz and it fits me perfectly. It’s super nice and the DIY dye job gives it a very peculiar shade of black, almost eggplant colour, I love it. Thanks @jglf for a smooth transaction.

To be honest at first glance looks very similar to my ELMC Californian in Havana HH. The stitching looks super impressive too, very neat. If you said this was from a Japanese brand name I’d fall for it.

That one would be the last one I’d sale though, it’s stunning and fits you great.

I guess is up to us antipodeans to do the heavy lifting of this thread for the next few months… Aero Premier Half-belt in black Vincenza, with a Speedway style back. The leather in this one is stunning.

It’s easy to be a Thedi fanboy, he’s one of the Top 10 (if not better) M2M vintage inspired leather jacket makers discussed in this forum, if not the world. Also, there’s nothing wrong with the jacket other than it’s not to the OP or everyone’s taste. That's not an objective issue, but a matter...

No one is attacking you as far as I know. You have admitted that you didn’t read the Terms and Conditions that the OP agreed to when he bought the jacket from Thurston and disallows him to return the jacket because he doesn’t like it, not because there’s anything wrong with it. Returning the...
