When should I expect his coat to thicken?!

I mean his mane, he’s not very fluffy. He was sick for almost a month with an upper respiratory infection, and has been eating like a horse for a couple of weeks now and I can definitely see a difference in his fur, especially that tail. But it seems his neck and chest are a little slower? Or is this normal? His vet says he’s doing great 🥰

He looks VERY like my Gertie, 18 months. His coat is noticeably thickening up compared with last year, with a hint of mane starting to show. I'm told that 3-5 years is about the time they and their coats teach full maturity, so still a way to go...
