I did some google search this morning, they said the backpack should not heavier than 10% of your body weight, so I should be fine?

Internet people don’t know what they’re talking about. On long camping trips my backpack is about 1/3 of my body weight. What I’m saying is, you could go with an even heavier jacket. Hey, maybe you should! ;)

Hh, I don't think that jacket's gonna make you happy. I believe you've surpassed jackets in that particular way and need to explore and expand your style more. You need something else now and only you know what that is. I could be wrong but... All of this sounds all to familiar.

interesting, I certainly know what makes me unhappy, thanks for your suggestion though.

Care to share? I'm genuinely curious where do you believe you're going with this. :)
oh, I have said that in previous post, if I order 6 oz and turns out 5 oz, that will makes me unhappy. Having said that, I am seriously considering to change the thickness from 6 oz to 5 oz.

my current JL only weight 7.2 lbs or so, but feel like 8.5 lbs. I have to say LW makes best pattern, I don't feel heavy when I put on 8.2 lbs j23.
p.s schott p613s feels like 6 lbs jacket when I put it on, even though it weight 7.2 lbs

That's what I'm asking - What do you think the extra oz will bring? Do you want the heaviest jacket? Why going for 5 if you know it won't be the heaviest there is, then, which would be 6 oz. And if you are considering switching from 6 to 5 oz, what benefit is there in 5 oz leather than is lacking in 4 oz leather? What difference does it all make, really?

Super is my Surak.

Plus imma tryn' to see where you're going with this to maybe shine some clarity on my own path. You may know something I don't, you may have been where I am yet to arrive.

What if you order 5oz and it turns out to be 4 ? To be totally on the safe side order 7oz !! Even if there's no such thing. If you order 7 you'll definitely get 6 and not 5 and definitely not 4

Alan will have to supply a certificate that every panel of the jacket was measured with a calibrated thickness micrometer, and that the thickness of every panel is exactly 2.4 mm. Then, and only then will Hh quit TFL.
