    Custom Thedi Buffalo Cafe Racer - fit advice needed

    In most places, if you take a standard thing, then customise it, or, somehow modify it from original, you can't return it. Now consider a product which has no standard form. Which is only m2m. Whose spec is little more than a picture of a model. You supply colour, thread, measurements, etc...

    Custom Thedi Buffalo Cafe Racer - fit advice needed

    Well, there's a difference between making a great product and running a successful business. Not the same. The whole thread is happening because OP noticed something undesirable about the jacket. That means there is something wrong with it. Thedi disagrees, as you might expect him to do. The...

    Custom Thedi Buffalo Cafe Racer - fit advice needed

    You're right. I never read Thurston's T&C. I guess I just assume it is like in most places that consumers have some rights. Whether there is something wrong with the jacket is debatable. There is a very clear differentiation between what OP wanted and what he received. Is this expected or not...

    Custom Thedi Buffalo Cafe Racer - fit advice needed

    There are people who have gotten great jackets. A few people haven't. Most people are not riders nor are these jackets advertised as such. I doubt OP was thinking of his jacket that way. Point is if this is the kind of hassle or required knowledge to access such a jacket. Again I have to...

    Custom Thedi Buffalo Cafe Racer - fit advice needed

    If you do this and you're right, you're right If you do it and you're wrong, you have a garment you can't return because you deformed it. That jacket will never fit OP the way it was imagined to fit, as in the way someone else shared a pic. This is bottom line.

    Custom Thedi Buffalo Cafe Racer - fit advice needed

    What you're saying is unreasonable. It's mad. Imagine yourself in this scenario. You see a picture on the website. You give measurements... how would you possibly know it isn't the right back for your usecase/desire? There is no intimation OP got it wrong. But at same time no option for OP...

    Custom Thedi Buffalo Cafe Racer - fit advice needed

    I didn't actually read any of Thurstons policies. I only felt like intervening because nobody else stepped in to help OP deal with OP receiving a jacket and not liking it and hearing nothing useful. Just FYI... no one said OP measured wrong. Like what is it exactly to order M2M?

    Custom Thedi Buffalo Cafe Racer - fit advice needed

    Well first, is there anyone besides me saying to send the jacket back? Because I don't see this, nor that it isn't possible. He/s,,he has a contract with Thurston, not Thedi, as it stands. The maker told OP it was his own fault for ordering the wrong jacket. Like don't order a jacket with that...

    Send the jacket back. It will never be the right fit, and the maker is saying this. Plus your fault.

    Custom Thedi Buffalo Cafe Racer - fit advice needed

    I have to say this crazy stuff... Like don't spray your jacket with water to try to fix a problem with how it fits... These are M2M jackets at premium price.

    This is nonsense.

    Custom Thedi Buffalo Cafe Racer - fit advice needed

    Send that jacket back while you can. The idea that it's your fault for not knowing the jacket had a straight back, and not the right back, is nonsense. Do not stretch it. You will not stretch a garment into what it should have been all along. Else you will have a jacket that doesn't fit and...

    Status of Thedi Leathers?

    I don't have Insta--I just can see the posts. I could call, I guess. Maybe I should try that--it's international so I will have to see if it can be done via voip using wifi. Or else I will have to buy some international minutes for it. Good thought.

    Status of Thedi Leathers?

    I could ask for the jacket to be sent back, as is. I would just then be out of pocket for the money I spent to ship the jacket to him in Greece from Ireland in Feb 2023. Plus all the time and worry over it. I would probably sell the jacket immediately, and I'm sure for at least some loss. So...

    Status of Thedi Leathers?

    Hey. Still no contact or reply to any of my mails. And no jacket. Thedi launched a D-pocket jacket back in Feb, and as I wrote the last update here, I had proposed to him an option that we might leave the Cossack behind and do this jacket instead. I thought maybe it would make it easier to...

    Status of Thedi Leathers?

    OP here. It's kind of amazing. I thought this thread was dead back in Oct 2023. When everyone was telling me not to worry, everything was okay. Because the maker is great and honest and surely would make good on it soon. So I did not see any of the subsequent discussions up to now. The TL;DR of...

    Status of Thedi Leathers?

    I would just like to know status and what I can expect next. I've been waiting 8 months, but I am patient and can wait. What I couldn't understand was a lack of even a simple update message e.g. 'Not ready till November...' or something simple like that. The silence made me worry I won't ever...

    Status of Thedi Leathers?

    Hi everyone. I lurk here and read all the excellent info and advice on leather. This is my first post so I ask for forgiveness if I break any rules. I don't think I have. I wanted to ask if anyone has had any contact with Theodoros of Thedi Leathers lately, and if they are still in business? I...
