I was referring to the overall weight of the jacket. This is gonna sound a little weird. When I first pulled it out of the box and picked it up by the collar with one hand, the jacket was very stiff and the shoulders didn't sag yet. I think the overall weight of the jacket was spread out. After break in, everything sags when picked up with one hand and the jacket seems a little heavier. I hope that makes sense, lol.
It does appear to have softer, more pliable parts to it, ie; the gussets. Some parts have more grain popping than others. Still in the early stages of "break in". So far, so good.
I have been wearing it everyday. I have been wearing it in the house when not on the bike. I have also been cheating a little, lol. One day it was about 42 degrees and a steady rain. I thought, here is my chance. The wife thought I was crazy, she said" I cant believe you are gonna ride in this just to get some wrinkles on your sleeve." I thought, It is pretty cold and it is raining pretty hard. I took the jacket off and layed it down on the driveway. I left it outside in a driving rain for about 45 minutes. I then shook it off and wore it in the house the rest of the day. Not sure if the rain penetrated the leather, the lining was bone dry.
I also roll/crumple/smash it by hand as I watch tv. I have been wearing/working on it everyday since I got it. I think I will throw it in the driveway again when the opportunity presents itself again. It is a lot easier to sit in a warm house, Then ride in a 40 degree rain ( I know, I know, I am a wuss. lol)
