I actually do have access to a calibrated scale at work, and 8.4 lbs is the difference between my weight with the jacket and my weight without it. Agree with the user experience you describe. It is bloody substantial, and it takes some wear! I would never intentionally wet it though.
Trust me, this jacket is 8 lbs. I own one at 8.4 lbs.
Also, I really don't get this advice to intentionally wet the leather. Just wear the damn thing. That is enough.
This is definitely a Sheene, but I have my doubts about the measurements. Aero is not actually this far off with their numbers. Can you please post pictures showing how you measured the shoulders? Perhaps with a tape on the jacket.
Exactly.

Or better still, the Schott Raven, P213?
I'm concerned about the durability of the leather considering how thin the jacket is compared to what I'm used to -- horween horsehide and steerhide.
Have you owned them for a few years? How have they held up?
Thanks!
Did it come with the corduroy strip by default?
How is it holding up in terms of wear over the years? Any sagging under the bottom hem?
Do you have it in the sleeves also? Is it too warm? Does it sag past the cuff?
