How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

Nice!
The leather is super thick, looks like steer/cow to me, black on a white/grey hide.
Will weigh it when dry but it feels heavier than average, but not as heavy as my CW Chopper.
The one i got is pretty much the same as this one, but without the belt loops, which i really like.
It's interesting that they used regular pocket entries on this one, rather than the "top flaps only" seen on mine.
It seems not two are ever alike, and they almost never have size tags, i wonder if they were a custom shop? I really hope someone will have some info once i do a proper thread.
I started one a while back but didn't get anywhere:

From what a couple of owners are telling me I should order a size or two up from my regular size with this trim jacket. I will specify my desired sleeve and body length so it will be a custom order through Thurston Bros who will also advise more on size.

Fit jacket will help ya too HD. Thedi does run slim. My XL CR was pretty darn tight.

Indeed, I've seen them now and again. They look like super high quality. I was very tempted by that one. The leather is super thick yeah? I like this one too:

Whatever happened to that one?

It's still available. Too small for me or you tho. If it were an inch or two wider I'd be all over it!

Thank you. I figured there was a reason I passed on it but could not recall if it was size or just failure to go for it. It does look nice.

According to the seller mine is 2,7kg / 6lb, so not so bad.
It might even feel light compared to Tons steer Halfbelt.

Man, even LW feels lightweight compared to that thing. I'm glad I've never handled such a jacket, though... I'd probably just sell off everything I have.

In terms of weight not really, the suburban is 2.61 kg and the J24 3.56 kg. I don't know why I didn't think of getting a fish scale earlier... such a good idea!
