2.5 oz is the weight most goat is described at, including, I believe Goodwear's hide. Maybe right about Al too. In fact it may be almost impossible to get goat thicker than 2.5oz. However, my Al jacket feels thicker, heavier and more robust than all the the other goat hides I have had. And thicker than the 2.5oz cowhide I have from both Johnson Leathers and Schott. Maybe it's about the density of the leather, who knows? All I'm going on is my own perception and experience of the hides.
What I can say for certain is that my version of Al goat takes a lot of work to break in and isn't much easier to wear than FQHH at least for the first 8 to 12 months.
