Help with first leatherjacket!

You did say that and it's a extravagant use of the word flimsy. You may have a thing for super thick hide, which is perfectly fine, but that doesn't mean a 3oz hide isn't anything but substantial.

1.2 and 1.3 is probably the same, throughout the jacket probably you get a bit thicker and a bit thinner parts when they skive it, it's not man made with totally consistent thickness everywhere.
you may need to jump 1.6, 1.8 to get different feel.

Hi everyone!

I am new to the lounge and hope that this thread is in the right place for this post.

I am going to buy my first better leather jacket and wanted to get some help from people that know more about them than I do.

I really like Levi's trucker jacket in buffalo leather (pictures below). I found one in my size on sale for about 350 dollars. I was wondering if the jacket is good value for the money and a good buy in general?

I want to find a jacket that will last me a long time and my budget is about 300-400 dollars.

All the best to everyone during these hard times.
Greetings from Europe,
Schmid
