    New Thedi MTC-1279720 "Memphis" Arrived This Weekend

    That is a stunning jacket. Both it and the girlfriend are clearly keepers that you should not flip. I am now thinking of a Memphis in Canneto, dammitt.

    American boot alternatives

    The great thing about the Goodwood is the welt construction and traction sole offers more traction should you need to ever be in snow or mud. Colorado winter approved.

    American boot alternatives

    My last few attempts with AE resulted in about a 50% return rate for such defects as poor stitching, misaligned soles, 1/2 size variance between right and left, broken lace eyelets, etc… Alden was misaligned soles and bunched leather in the lining . Returned 2 of 3 pairs there but the pir of...

    American boot alternatives

    I now have four pair of RM Williams. Two Comfort Craftsman. One Comfort Turnout and one of the new Goodwood model. The oldest is about 8 years old now. I wear them all with leather jackets. I do think the black chisel tow would look great with a cross zip. I have not noticed any decrease in...

    Quick Himel Brothers Review

    I too like a jacket a bit longer than the norm but your final product is as good as it gets! Congrats on a stunning addition.

    Aero board racer fit pics

    I might even suggest trying a Cafe Racer if you want to layer a thin sweater. I have a 41" chest and have a 44 Seven (Board Racer pattern). Even with the up size, it is a snug fit in the armholes and sleeves when wearing more than a thin long sleeve shirt. The wider armholes of the Cafe Racer...

    First Aero Leather advice - lightweight CXFQHH or Pinnacle?

    Sometimes we have to push a little to get someone else to do the right thing. Perhaps the initial misunderstanding with Bolt was due to the pattern confusion, but they did the right thing. Unlike some other makers known here who attack the customer for “unrealistic” expectations that the...

    Review of my 2nd THEDI Jacket

    Excellent jacket, mate! The fit is perfect, as is your command of the English language. I am about six months into my new Markos in cuio buffalo and, while it is not really “softening” it sure has conformed to my body and movement patterns. Now it is like a part of me to the point that I...

    Fit Check: Vanson Stadium and Aero Cafe Racer

    Agree that No. 1 is too short in body and sleeve length. Also, there is a lot of extra material there that someone with your fit build does not need. The sleeve diameter just look waaay too big. A great many people like their cafe racers to fit just like yours does. This means it will be...

    Carrie explained to me that Cuio is a lighter tan tone that darkens on the brown spectrum over time whereas the cognac has a slight red orange tint that becomes a bit orange brown as it ages.

    Vanson Fit Check—Royale Enfield

    It looks a touch short in the arms and torso to my tastes. The shoulders look good but it does appear tight in the torso. Are you thinking about a custom order or just whether to go for a 42?
