Unexpected November snow storm today. Just wore a plaid shirt hat and gloves while I wrestled with Momma Nature. No jacket needed I was plenty warm.

Wish I nabbed the olive one when I still had a chance. Though I never had a chance as they were sold within a day. I wonder if they're truly worth the extra $, though. Probably. The denims definitely are so...

I guess this would make a difference on a colder day in Sydney. Meanwhile, I think I'm done with leather jackets until May. Too cold to even look at them.
I wore my repro Willis & Geiger M-422 as I battled thru the WORST traffic mess in NJ that I’ve ever seen. Total failure by the unprepared state and city governments, road crews, transportation “experts” and weather guessers. Six inches of snow crippled the Tri-state area. Embarrassing lack of preparation and response. @Worf I feel ya, pal!

Saw this Hercules on Aero's sale page, Brown FQHH. On checking the measurements against a used steerhide Hercules jacket I bought in May, it looked spot on. I couldn't resist. Chuffed to bits when it arrived and fit perfectly!! My first FQHH and I must say it looks & feels amazing. I've been wearing it as much as possible over the last 2 weeks and it's breaking in superbly. I've read other peoples comments about FQHH being too stiff & heavy. Personally I find it great to wear. Yes, it takes a little getting used to but, for me, breaking the jacket in & seeing the patina develop is all part of the appeal.

Too cold for leather doesn’t even compute...

They're the worst in cold! I swear, they somehow make you even more cold!
Same for me
If you wear a polar under, you should be fine for very low temperatures, I was fine at -15°C.
Ah yes, add a face cover if it goes this low
Edit: Polar as in polar fleece
I would be telling you to buy it immediately as well... if it weren't for the fact that you're not big on zip jackets. Freewheelers have a lot of other options, and you now know what your fit is like with the Mulholland. You're in a very good position that many of us would love to be in
Edit: typos
Where I live in Melbourne, leather is generally inadequate against the cold (when it is 10 degrees and lower) or too hot - any day over 18 degrees. This is probably why I only ever get about 6 weeks of leather wear in any given year.
Today I'm wearing a Baracuta G4.

Today....i wore this. It was the first leather repo of a US field jacket i ever saw and i had to have it. Think it was @ 15 years ago.
Cooper M65 repo in brown goatskin. Pretty heavy and very warm and of course comfy as are all field jackets.
Be well. Bowen
