you were right,can't let those YKK ruin this jacket.

I would not go as far as to say ruined, but these zips are really nice. I just put a two-way 10 YKK on “your” (Lol) J23 and I love it. Much more practical jacket for my particular needs.

Sacrilege to some, but it’s just not that important to me. If it works, I’m a happy dude. I’m the Simple Jack of zippers.
That's true.

But if I still have this j23 I will also change the zipper at sleeves to smooth non scratch zipper, those zipper just too Sharp.

I had a #8 riri zipper before, damn thing broke in just a few months. Never again, YKK has always worked for me.

Only on TFL will guys blow their wads discussing . . . . zippers (not strippers -- zippers).

Tried the stripper thing in Vegas. Got to being alone with a gal in a dimly lit room. Champagne was poured. Then I was informed my card bounced and they put away the champagne and escorted me back to the lobby. And I thought she liked me...

No Jammin’ without the Ben-jamins :p.
You are fortunate to have been shown the lobby and not to have been given “a little ride” to see the desert.

Probably gonna use 15oz heavyweight Harris tweed instead of boring quilted lining, not sure how many I need to order?

Legend has it if you zip that jacket up and take five steps forward...you’ve lost 15lbs of water weight. Seems like a good jacket for a wrestler to drop weight in. With that heavy hide I’d use a lighter weight liner. Otherwise you’ll be swearing like mad.
Edit: sweating not swearing. But maybe both.

Good to know, thanks.
What's your recommendation for the liner? I am looking for something I can wear at late fall and early spring as well.

With a 6oz hide I’d go with cotton drill. Or maybe even a 12oz washed canvas for durability. That way you can layer for warmth when needed and just sport a t shirt when layers aren’t required.
