Thank you very much! Yes you were right, I'm very glad I didn't go with LW. It just didn't feel right. I'll look into making an actual site for the band because I don't like Facebook either. Here's a link to the YouTube video:

Thanks for the kind words! I have to say I definitely notice people looking a bit different at me now. Belgians are in general a very shy people and we're not used to such and imposing look. Maybe after a few weeks of wear, I'll post and update on the coat so you can see it's evo ;) . Thanks...

Yeah, at first the collar was quite a shock. I wasn't sure I liked it, that's why I wanted to wait a few days before posting. I knew I'd get used to it and I have. I looked up the Lewis Jacket. It's a bit too mean-looking to really fit my personality, but I am flattered by your recommendation...

Thanks for checking out my band! We're just getting started so every kind word means a lot. Yeah, I've been at this for many years, in fact. My first coat only cost me €18. I've worn it for 8 or 9 years and I've wanted a nicer one all the while. At first I thought "I'll get a more expensive...

Hello, Everyone I received this awesome Thedi coat in the mail a few days ago. It’s a really stunning piece. I’ve taken the time to wear it a little before posting. The leather I’ve chosen unwashed buffalo and I’m glad I did, it’s perfect. I was afraid it would be too thin, because the...

IT IS DONE!!!!! I've ordered a Thedi coat in unwashed cognac buffalo. https://thedi-leathers.com/product/mtc-1279400/ The custom options are as follows: Inside pocket on both sides, lengthened to 1m and without the epaulettes that are on the shoulders of the original. I want to thank...

Yeah, I've asked him and am waiting for a reply. If the treatment is not destructive then I see no reason not to let hem do it.

Ooh, that sounds and looks nice! The thing is that the washed piece of buffalo he sent me look a lot more rough and grainy than the unwashed, but that might just be a coincidence. The other samples that I got both washed and unwashed didn't differ in roughness, really. I'll see what Theodoros...

Thank you for your reply! You say "washed, shrunk, brushed, softened" which still contains the word "washed" so I'm not really clear on that one yet. Shrunk, brushed, softened seem like things that would occur naturally. In the electric guitar world there is this trend where the manufacturer...

Hello, everyone! Haven't posted in a while but there hasn't been any news up until now. Thedi has sent me a couple of leather pieces and I'm still not sure about leather choice. Most of these have both a washed and an unwashed piece. If two pieces are stapled together, the top one is washed...

Hmm, strange. I'll try again. So this one is the same as https://thedi-leathers.com/product/mtc-127915/ but looks les patina-ish. And the next one looks more grey than on Thedi's site where it looks more red https://thedi-leathers.com/product/cafe-racer-mtc-127920/ Thoughts?

It's not that I don't like the ones I'm about to post, it's just that they differ from Thedi's site This one is cognac buffalo, like this https://thedi-leathers.com/product/mtc-127915/ but it looks so different with less luster and patina I was hoping the cognac buffalo would be more like...

That looks amazing. I like the leather buttons as well. You're probably right that all Thedi leathers will be of the same quality. They definitely have their own look, regardless of which animal the hide comes from. That said if I'm purely going on the pics on their site, I'd choose cognac...

It's so strange, I always assumed buffalo was extremely grainy, but your jacket look shiny, almost like horsehide! Lost worlds will indeed most likely be a more practical garment than Thedi, but the extra shipping costs throw me off. For now, all that I'm debating on is Thedi horsehide vs...

Thank you very much for these pictures! Both look great! For my particular coat my intuition is telling me to go for the horsehide. I've asked Theodore for advice, but haven't thought of asking him to order swatches. That said, I trust his judgement more than I do my own. I think swatches might...
