so I asked Alan to weigh their newly finished jacket in CXL 4.75 oz, and it only weight 7.5 lbs, at size 48.

I’m telling ya man...order the 8oz. No compromises.
I have no idea how they define it is 4.75 oz. I don't think Horween has 8oz overdye now plus why I spend extra money?
Probably I should have a leather gauge ready.

Hmmm. Not sure about black OD but they go up to 10 in other CXL’s.

But you know if it is true 4.75 oz it will not be that light, that's the point.
Yeah that’s why I tried to warn you way back in the beginning to go heavier. That JL you have that was mine was advertised as 4.25oz and I felt it was closer to 3.5. Solely based on the weight. I had two other overdye’s and they both felt a bit heavier but not much.

You have swatches of the leathers they will use. Weight does not matter, thickness does and do you seriously think you need hides thicker than that? Dude. Who cares whether it is 8,9 or 10 pounds heavy of a jacket if the hide is as thick as it is. It's going to be barely wearable due to restrictions in how little this thick hide will break in and conform to your body at all, like do you want it even thicker so you can't bend the arms in it at any time ever or what's the plan?

both order has been cancelled, thanks to Alan for being helpful and patient during this time, great company.

p.s moderator, please lock the thread if you think it serves no meaning anymore.
