Been super stressed at work lately so I haven't posted as much, but today I rocked the Thedi, just can't get over how much I love this jacket(and maker overall), Thedoros must be a wizard(or just know patterns, but I'm not 100% sure witch true haha)!

Just doffed a rather decent cowhide AN-J-3 from San Diego Leather Factory.

What size are you? I’ve been losing weight steadily, currently at your same weight (145 lbs) and height. My weights have fluctuated over the years between 133-195 lbs, and I’ve been a 38 US. Maybe I can fit 36 US now.

Curious to know those in my size, in case they want to free up some space in their closets.

I'm a pretty solid 38, but the individual measurements for shoulder, P2P, length, and sleeve length determine what I wear. Based on those I can range from a 36-40, but probably 90% of what I have is tagged a 38.

I maxed out around 175 several years back before making some lifestyle changes and have kept the weight off ever since. I may fluctuate +/- 3lb, but that's easy enough to readjust in a day or two.

First chance to wear this grail piece for me. Freewheelers Lumper jacket in beach cloth:

Rather decent cowhide AN-J-3 from San Diego Leather Factory.

I don’t see a picture. I bought my first cross zip from them in the early 2000s. Glad to hear they’re still making jackets.

Sorry, no pic, Is that required? If so, my mistake.

Bought this size 46 Tall example used on e-bay, and I have no complaints. It lacks snaps for points of collar, and has no epaulettes, but I gather that some Original examples also lacked these features. It has very unobtrusive "hand-warmer" pockets behind the patch pockets, another feature not found in Originals.

It's a very decent Repro, not an expensive Replica; exactly what I wanted.

Overall quality of materials and workmanship is first-class on this particular jacket, IMHO.

SDL current offering of USN "SWO" jacket is almost identical, although much more expensive than the used example I bought. https://www.leather.com/mens_aviation/swo_surface_warfare_leather_bomber.htm

Do shop around, but this is the least expensive version of this official USN "SWO" jacket I've found so far.

Neat-O jacket! Like the Native American style embroidery sprinkled here and there.

Yeah, it nice to have more appropriate temps for this time of year - jacket/outerwear can't come soon enough.
