I’d say 3-3.5oz. Not overly heavy but it has heft. The liner is a yellow silk type common on older Bates.

Schott 637 steerhide again today on a cloudy gloomy day, max temp 15C. The "'vintage bouquet" now fresh jacket !
The one that came up super well with the Eucalyptus woolwash and RM Williams leather conditioner.
Coastal "social distancing" take out coffee jaunt. My good lady wife on the camera ( on my Samsung 'phone !)
This is after 2 days of "winter" storms, 100Km/H winds and driving rain squalls , nice to get out again.
Actually quite pleasant today with minimal wind. This west coast highway walking/cycling path is many kilometres long.
This jacket is a "favourite" if not on the Harley. Too frequent showers for motorcycling today.

Hmmm... not sure if a size L would work... it seems too tight for your body measurements? Okay, it's all about which style/leather you are looking for and how trim you like to wear your jackets...
I'm asking for the XL measurements as well, but the L is pretty spot on to a few jackets I already own.
This is canvas mostly and canvas should break in and stretch a bit. I'm looking for a fitted look I would say. Nothing long and oversized; I have jackets for that already. Of course, I don't want it skin tight though, but I think this style looks best in a slim fit.
edit: His XL dimensions are pretty close, list on the right.
chest 56cm. armpit to armpit (22 "). 58 cm XL
waist, 53 cm navel height (21 ") 55cm
bottom 52 cm (20.5 ") 54cm
back length, 60cm. (23.5 ") 62cm
Shoulders, 47cm (18.5 ") 48cm
sleeve 66cm. (26 ") . 67cm

Incredible jacket. What does the back look like? This isn't Monitor's Sugar Cane, or is it? Looks great.
Looks like the same, but with a different batch of leather.

Reminiscent of a Herc. This and the Trojan back design may be my favorites.

Nice fit. Beautiful cut. But...how can this be one better than your vintage Blue Bates? That Blue Bates is just off-the-charts cool!
It’s just easier to wear with extra groovy 70’s flair.

A final shot of this blue 30's HB before it went in the box to it's new owner in Illinois. An amazing piece of FQHH that just was not quite the right fit for me.
I rarely wear this the last 6 yrs, but i put on a hanger next to a window in my walkincloset room, i think the color has oxidated somewhat looking more vintage
Would hate this color as a jeans pants, but strangely nice for a jacket
In comparison with its back collar tab i kept in my drawer

My newest and already one of my favorites. Looks good/feels good, smells like Horsehide.
