Received swatch today, Alan said he got over 2.4 mm (the thinnest part is 2.4 mm , and thickest part is 2.9 mm)thickness according to his professional gauge.
The leather is super soft and pliable, the jacket should be very comfortable to wear.

I will be the biggest fool in the history of TFL if I sell this jacket.
Not so bro, we never buy a jacket with the intention of reselling but life happens, we buy, trade, and sell its what we do. I've learned by owning awsome jackets and seeing others on tfl that no matter which jacket or how many we have there is always another one we want, we can't get one awsome jacket and be satisfied with only that an we will sell to make room an raise money Our desire for superb leather jackets is never-ending. We eat today but we shall hunger and thirst tomorrow.

I think what I was trying to say is this jacket is meaningful for me, my first custom jacket with my request design, leather thickness, etc.
You should really talk to Alan, I know you have great experience with LW, but Alan/JL is something else, I would pay for listen to Alan talking about leather jacket.
My next jacket will be 5oz CHP if I can sell those jackets in classified. Or I keep SG and have Alan make a replica with 5 oz horween cxl natural.

Looking forward to this build. Good luck.

I was just at JL last week, the 3oz vegetable tanned black overdye cxl (Damon's jacket) they showed me is lovely. I will custom order one as well but looks like horween will close for a bit in September and new skins won't arrive until October or so.

Thanks for sharing this, which leather you choose for your jacket? Any pics?

I was actually there for a fitting for a dark brown goat bomber I ordered a while back. I was told to place my order after they are done with my current order but I will pick the veg tanned black overdye cxl.

I did not take a picture of the jacket but I will make sure to do so when I head back. If you have instagram, you can request a photo of the jacket from Damon as he is pretty responsive on there.
