Agreed, the zipper on my LW B-2 is still working fine but it feels like a toy in comparison to the rest of the jacket. If I keep the jacket (my wife has been after me to sell it) I'll probably have the zipper replaced some day. My LW ANJ-4 has a similar issue in that the zipper just feels to...
I haven't weighed it since it arrived but I think it weighed in at around 7 lbs. Maybe a bit more. The horse hide is thick and tough as nail but it does take time to break in. I wish I lived in a cooler climate so I had more opportunity to wear it.
Agreed, my friends that are happy with their mass produced mall jackets would have a hard time understanding why I'm willing to pay so much for an Aero, LW, etc.
How true it is! I was once happy with my single leather jacket from Wilson's but than one day my wife told me it was time I replaced it. While looking online I came across TFL and was forever corrupted. Now I have several nice leather jackets and no money.

Carrie, do you have any more shots of the Alpine Sky Jacket? I've been considering ordering that one for my wife but this is the first time I've seen it outside of the Aero website.
I live in the Pacific NW so the climate is pretty mild and I find the Strome weight tartan isn't too warm and it's very durable. I've been wearing my Hudson for almost daily for 2 years and the lining still looks new. If your worried about durability I'd say go for a mid or even the heavy...
The collar may seem large but you'll love the first time your out in a cold wind. Of my various jackets the B-2 and it's giant collar draw the most comments from strangers and my only real complaint about the LW model is the cut of the waist. I wish it was a bit more tapered.
