Post Thedi Leather Jacket Photos Here........

Now this one I got problems with. It looks to me as if someone really butchered a zipper replacement with a cheap copy C&C, or else did a horrible repair. Wavy, and not even close to original stitch holes, and it looks like they were SWI, sewing while intoxicated. Not an expensive jacket but I like the light weight leather and fit, so I will probably put a little heavier YKK in it eventually. More stitch marks?

Follow up fit photos of the custom black canetto cowhide. I've been wearing the jacket everyday since last Friday, it got rained on a little and it's not meant for inclement weather as it got wet very quickly but it did make the jacket form faster around my body. Definitely a welcome change against my other leather jackets. The wavy zipper action is in full swing maybe made worse by the fact the front drop is quite a lot on this pattern. Still feel the waist could have been made 2" smaller overall but overall still great for a first order with a new maker to me considering it's only the wider waist and 1.75" front drop are my concerns about this custom.

Here's with the detachable mouton collar. This is the softest fur collar I've worn. Gotta say it looks better with this collar on.

Jacket looks great Jin, i see no issues regarding the waist and front drop, spot on fit in my opinion. Really like those french seams and that collar colour is awsome. I'm having second thoughts now on my collar choice, seeing yours . Did you specify this colour to Theodoros?

Hi Jin

Thanks for the excellent fit pics (as usual)… The jacket indeed fits you like a glove and looks great!

To be honest, I’ve always had an issue with the wavy zippers seen on Thedi jackets. The one on your jacket does not seem as extreme. However, a lot of the jackets displayed on Thedi’s website seem to have an excessive amount which unfortunately would be a deal breaker for me. Personally, they really distract from the clean lines I like having on my jackets.

Potential reasons I think that cause this are probably the washing/aging effect Thedi puts on these jackets and using a large zipper which is less forgiving/pliable (?) This could potentially be avoided if the leather is washed/aged prior to stitching the panels together (?). Another possible cause could be the temper of the leather used. Interestingly, the HH jacket displayed on his website does not show this effect…

So, if I do ever go in for a Thedi, it would need to be one of his heavier HH and without the washing/aging process...

thanks nick, French seams are cool for sure. I'm just nitpicking lol the front drop is a matter of preference, I like mine at 1" so there's better proportion the how the jacket wears/look in contrast to the sleeve length. the puffy waist meanwhile is hard to see on photos but its when you wear it and see on your own POV that it will become more apparent but yep it's a great fit overall so I'm more than pleased with my first Thedi. Yes I did specify this color fur, I think it looks the best in thedis current offering plus it seems to pair well with the black Canetto very nicely. What color is standard with your order?

The brown collar i ordered was a dark brown similar to the one on his website, trying to match some brown boots i wear.

Carrie posted pics on the Thurston thread of my jacket that just arrived today. Below are a couple quick snapshots. Espresso buffalo is just outstanding, exactly what I wanted colorwise and the grain too. The smell is heavenly. Tweaked some of the measurements to make the chest and shoulders wider than the Medium fit jacket and shortened the arms also. Came in spot on and is still labeled a M by Thedi. Strange that they put a size tag on custom sized items. View attachment 375725 View attachment 375726

I'd love to read a more full review on the Thedi Crozzzip, That thing is gorgeous and the fit looks spot on. Any quirkiness - or things you don't like? Is that the goat leather?

I hope @HoosierDaddy will be back soon to show off his Thedi's. He's the one who started this thread and now it's really taking off.

Hi guys, I just received my first Thedi and couldn't be more excited! It's in tambonato brown deerskin, and absolutely exceeded all my expectations. Second one (a mackinaw) is due to arrive soon. Couldn't get the pics to be loaded directly so I've put some imgur links.
