While the jackets posted here have great style and quality ... let's face it, most are not very versatile for riding.
I just received this riding jacket from Fox Creek. Here are some details from Fox Creek website:

Dual front, rear...

This is a cool jacket man ... padded Thedi CR
in waxed cowhide from the master. :) The jacket has substantial weight with soft, pliable hand leather. Well broken in ...
The tab off the zipper broke ... so although it zips up/down ... it needs to be replaced ... and the price reflects that...
Dang it ... I have come to the conclusion I'm just too fat for this jacket lol.
FOR SALE @ 700 shipped.
Will trade for compareable quality jacket. Another larger Thedi, ELMC California, or padded riding jacket.
Pretty firm on jacket... low ballers no need to reply. Yes, thats you ... the guy...
My riding jacket is getting that blackened brown look ... or tea core i guess you call it. More on back then front... how about using black shoe polish? Anyone try that or other suggestions? Blasphemy i know... to even suggest this .. i may be kicked off this forum :)
I just received the saddlebags that I ordered for my Harley. Have not got them installed yet ... but figured some here may be interested :)
I ordered these bags for the old school cool look on my Deluxe. I can't wait to go on a long trip with them. They are superbly crafted out of 13oz...

So I have a padded thedi for my riding jacket... one of the heavy duty old ones... love it :)
Anyway I have been using a moist microfiber cloth to take bugs off. Wondering if I should periodically use a leather moistener? It does not seem dry from all the cleanings.. but thinking...
A bit different offering. I have a high end humidor considering for sale. A 30 × 9 humidor chest custom made by waxingmoon. Coco and wenge hardwoods. PM for inquiries...
It pains me to sell this... especially so soon. A beautiful easy wearing jacket. Substantial leather but has soft hand at same time.
Selling due to purchase of new motorcycle... and this will help pay for insurance.

Don't wear your leather jacket while sitting in your lighter colored leather/pleather car interior. You will eventually experience color transfer... and it sux. Apparently it's very easy to transfer color on... but good luck getting it off!
Any other examples of what not to do?!
It is pretty neat to see all the styles of jackets, leather and treatments, nods to historical significance and of course groundbreaking artistic flair. I know we all have our own tastes and respect that. I marvel at how some folks can pull off certain looks, whereas, I think folks would think...
Hey Folks, looks like I have a couple of Thedi that will shipped shortly. Looking forward to receiving them. :)
For those who have directly ordered from Thedi (via US) how long does shipping normally take?
A wonderful Thedi CR
In a mid weight brown italian hh.

So spent a lot of time at 2 harley dealerships looking at bikes.
Took a look at some of their leather jackets... wow im impressed with how much higher quality mine are from what they had in stock.
Thanks FL!
Fit part 2...
Really like this jacket... i know its a little big... but i wonder if after break in this goat would drape better resulting in less boxy look. This could be the go to jacket to layer under.
What you guys think? And dont hold back... tell me what you really think. I can take it :D
AERO handled this QC issue respectfully - see post #34
On the back side of the sleeve where it attaches about 3" from pit i found 4 broken stitches.
Its pretty minor... but i guess could be problem down road. Im sure they would repair it free of charge if i were to send back... but then i...
