https://mcfly-store.com/products/freewheelers-four-corners-jacket-2031011-vintage-black-2020-model I have not seen this one before, and man is it yummy! Love the details. Thought I would share. I am sure there are many of you that already have seen this. I did a search before posting to make sure I was not adding unnecessary posts.
Does look good! Personally I’d opt for the Thedi version myself. His take is more interesting to me by virtue of the hide but for a black version this looks really sharp.
Agree with Ton's point, that looks quite similar to Thedi's Hector buttoned version which I found even more attractive. Black looks a bit boring for this pattern to my taste. Though, vintage black Shinki (blackened brown, i.e. teacore Shinki) might work also well with that.
They've released this jacket a few times before and it looks great. I don't think I would do another button front jacket, but I do think it looks awesome.
I am biased of course, but for this jacket, I would go with Thedi over Freewheelers every single time I associate Freewheelers with other patterns
+1 I've tried the 4-corners jacket twice, but the cut always felt strange. This probably due to the fact that the jacket has an A-/Bellshape-cut with a wide hip flare. If you are a sporty / athletic V-type, the jacket is probably not for you. His picture illustrates the hip flare best:
The FW Four Corners first came up here on FL in 2012 I think. The link about a 2011 run at post #10 of this previous thread. https://www.thefedoralounge.com/thr...freewheelers-and-co-2012-13-collection.68205/
The Four Corners is a great jacket and having owned 3 or 4 Thedi and a few freewheelers I would personally lean toward Freewheelers as a better jacket but that is just my opinion and there is certainly nothing wrong with a Thedi. Thedi attaches buttons better than anyone else and one of the best I have encountered in that respect. With that all being said, I'd really like to get a Four Corners jacket one day. I have been to that McFly shop the OP posted the link from and it is a cool little place.
I agree with you FW makes excellent jackets. I've also had/have a few models from both. However, since I have owned leather jackets from Thedi Leathers in their used finish, I find the leather used by other manufacturers some kind of "boring". In the end, it's always an individual matter...
