Gentlemen these Thedis are fantastic!



I have seen the light! Amazing.

This is why I am reluctant to buy anything new, ever again. Your jacket reminds me of my Herc. Every time I put it on I realize it's the only jacket I need and it's the coolest one I own. You've got a nice collection of really cool jackets but this one just slays them all. Literally. PERFECT!
Thanks for the kind words, gents. Sometimes you get something that you really like. This one was quite the gamble for me as the sizing seemed off, but IT feels like IT was worn all those years to end UP on my BACK one Day.

Those Thedi canvas jackets - what thickness is the canvas? Nothing on the website except that the canvas is from military tents.

In contrast to the MTC-127980 Canvas x Leather Jacket, in which the canvas is quite heavy, this tent canvas fabric is lighter and very comfortable to wear... but no idea about oz. Maybe someone who's more in vintage army things can bring some light up...

Yea, no idea what the oz weight is, but mine is pretty solid. When I say it's stiff, it literally stands straight up on the floor.

I've been wanting a canvas Thedi like yours for a while now but with no leather trim except maybe the collar. I've owned an all leather version of yours but would prefer one in canvas. Your jacket is really nice.

Yep. I already have a black Herc from Terry in black cow. When I find a brown one in horse or cow with a patina like @Imuricecreamman's, my quest will be complete. Maybe...:)

613. Second day today in a long while that I can actually wear a leather jacket all day and it just reminded me how bad, miserable and lousy I feel without a Perfecto. I put this on and I got this feeling like there isn't anything I can't handle. I'm happy, confident and overall a better person.

Second day, the Thedi Leathers MTC-C1279405 Jacket
has developed very nice creases on the sleeves :)

@Monitor, That 613 looks awesome. Hard to top the original. I am gonna have to get another one. I haven't wore my 618hh in quite awhile. I lost a few lbs. and the 48 is kinda big. I am gonna go for a 46 or possibly a 44 this fall/early winter. I think Schott has a "black Friday" sale, but I am not sure.

@JMax, I was never really a CR fan. I might have to start reconsidering. That jacket looks superb.

Thanks, man. It's a good jacket. Does everything just about right.

I’m with you. CRs are not my preference, even though I’ve added a couple recently. This one is really nice. My Bates racing shirt arrives next week (everyone needs a Bates, especially bikers, right?). That’ll be the end of my CR trip. Back to cross zips.

I know perfectos don't get recognized as an actual M/C jacket, but my 618 actually worked pretty well for me on the bike. Very easy to wear and checked MOST(not all) of the boxes. It was my go-to jacket for quite awhile.

@JMax, I am sure I will eventually head down the CR road one day.
