Hey @marker2037 did you ever receive your Thedi Atlas / Field Jacket style? If so, what are your thoughts? Any pics?

This is the 442 in horsehide. It looks pretty dull
Their dark brown sheepskin looks 10000x better
The sheepskin really does have a lot more character. I can see the appeal of both

Decided to cover the colder end of the spectrum with this old Pendleton coat.
I love the woolen flannels I have from them, stoked about this big boy.

Thank you very much for your advice.
I'm glad I requested sheepskin anyway.
I didn't have that on the radar at all. But after some positive reports here, I should try it out.

That sounds amazing Marc - that racing green sheepskin is one of the very best hides I have ever encountered anywhere - and it will look really classy on the Cyclone - a great combo and I look forward to seeing your posts on delivery!

Nice! Glad someone on here got this one. I was planning to post this in the Finds/Deals threads, but it sold when I looked away. Lol

Cal Leathers make the very best collar for that jacket. Their mouton is by far the very best I have seen in the new production jackets like yours. However, your jacket is Not Cal leather. Your jackets have several distinct stitching practices I have seen in Al's of Ventura. Two points I can distinctly differentiate are the end of the sleeves finishings and the front cross zip stitching over the right pocket. Furthermore, the belt loops are different in the way they snap. Lastly, Cal has been doing their own belts. That particular belt could be an addition but it looks to me like a Don Hume. knowing how proud Cal leathers are from their belts, I doubt they would contract out. Lastly, I think the applets are not consistent with their style for this particular model. To be honest, the bottom left side looks like it has a snap? That is also a strange aspect of this jacket. If you show more detailed pictures of the inside of the jacket perhaps it could help identify it better. There is a wealth of knowledge in this forum. My self excluded of course.

I would be Stoked too! I love wool jackets. There are many great ones out there often for not a lot of money. This is a Beauty!

Thanks Terry! I have a few lighter wool options that I really like so this one will be in good company.
I probably won't have all that many days where a jacket of this apparent weight will get use...but at the price I feel like it'll be easy to get my money's worth.
As much as I love the Grizzly style...not sure I'd really get the wears in to justify it to myself.

I'm really stoked about this one coming in Tomorrow! It's Beauty was presented here and I did not notice. I think it larger than small, but most likely won't fit the current me. Too much in the middle still!
I am not knowledgeable about the Harley branded jackets. I've owned a couple and looked at others. Often the issues were size, though I saw issues I did not like with some of their leathers. Jackets that did not look well used had serious leather issues. I just saw that too many times and it sticks in my head.
I'm thinking the back has had some adornment now removed, so I'm curious about damage. The Belt looks a little thick, so may not be original. Does appear to have the original Conmar zippers. I'm judging this leather as rather substantial for the time c. early-mid 50s. Probably shouldn't clean this one!
Will be fun to explore and compare with others, so an extended stay will be necessary. Fit or not it will probably be difficult to part with. It has the right details to be a nice piece of MC History just hanging around. Folks pay for HD memorabilia, not sure why jackets are not seen as such.

Those snaps are strong.

Slowly taking shape! Love the extra zip pocket on the inside lapel.
