I'm just not a LW fan. I've had several over the years.
I'd rather have a Aero Sheen for style, leather weight, and finish.

You do need a LW keeper
I am already thinking of my next one even though I have one to come
Genuinely curious, is it the patterns you don't like? Or the leather?

Which one is that?
Well I have a J-24 coming which should have, let's say quench my thirst. And I know it will be very cool.
But I am also looking potentially at his modified grizzly as an option as per this thread:

Also the other day, I was looking again at the leathertogs
And it is calling me at night...

I just don't care for the heavy thick kind of painted on finish of most LWs. Armor like, sure, but most often not very grainy..or the grain can look odd...more like stretch marks.
I prefer a leather (HH) that shows a rustic character as it ages rather than retaining a new appearance.
LW are certainly made well...but LW's leather..or much of it is unique to LW with certain properties quite opposite of what I prefer.Simple as that...

However many others like LWjackets and don't see things the way I do. They enjoy their LWs. I get it but I passed the LW jackets that I tried on to those who appreciate them.

The LW certainly take much longer to age, 2 years in my suburban to start seeing the grain and a bit of fading

What leather is that would you think, it looks amazing.
That should be the russet HH

What are the LW leather options,? It's the lighter ones that might interest me
Mainly russet and black, and I think navy and green are available as well at the moment

It's the weights I'm keen to know about. I gather the russet and black HH comes in more than one weight?
Do they have any leather that's sub 3oz?
In horsehide, they have 3oz, but under that not so sure, maybe. Would be best to send them an email.
As for their other leathers, I don't know which thickness they hold.

The other day I thought I am done with jackets, and could settle with hunting for cheap vintage ones on eBay for thrill's sake, but damn, now I want a LW again.
Check out those fit photos from Taiwanese customers
Any model specifically?

Ryder or Suburban are the ones I like best. The car coats, Downtown and Bedford are nice, too, though!
