Yes, I think it will become my go to coat for range from +10 C to -10 C (50 to 14 F). Which in Southern Finland means about 300 days per year!

If you want something that will laugh at the foul weather... why not go with Lost Worlds?
They are the most waterproof leather jackets I have ever seen
I am a little bit ashamed to admit it even here in TFL, but I also ordered this one for coming winter, as I felt a need for something black with mouton collar:

I am not sure it will fit me, but according the numbers it should be at least very close to nice fit.

I considered Lost worlds and even contacted them, but I felt it would have become too expensive. Stu thinks I should have size 50 L (at least with Test jacket) which carries 30 % upcharge. On top of that shipping to europe plus customs and taxes. For example I calculated that a Downtown would cost me about 2500 - 2600 USD.
In these circumstances, it does become prohibitively expensive... I generally ask friends to bring the jackets I order back with them avoiding all these extra charges... But that means waiting several months to get the goods in certain occasions.
The 30% upcharge on size 50L doesn't help either

Hmm, I think you need a b3 to accommodate temperatures around -10c!
Ps- what did you choose for lining?
I have a ANJ-4 for colder days. For Barnstormer I chose ”budget” tartan. I’ll let Aero surprise me with their choice.

Nice. Don't expect it to work below 4c though. I usually wear my alpaca lined mariner at temperatures between 5 and 12c.
Between 5 and 12 c I would be good with T-shirt and a thick hoodie. I run pretty hot. I wear leather jackets without extra layering down to -5c.

I on the contrary try to find an excuse to wear my leathers! Although right now it is sunny and warm I wear my leather jacket!
Actually that’s the case with me too. I am trying to use leather jackets even if I wouldn’t really need to wear a jacket. There must be some medical diagnosis for this condition...

dermatiniasis!
Don't know about that diagnosis, but a motorbike makes wearing your jackets possible even in hot summer
I am taking any excuse I can find to go out on a ride.
Hope to put some age on that tan Thedi
Good name lol

There is this greek island called Ios. This was famous during the 80s and 90s because all the heavy metal guys and punks from Athens used to go camping there during the summer. I remember an august evening, 35 degrees c, and some guys having their perfecto's on!Don't know about that diagnosis, but a motorbike makes wearing your jackets possible even in hot summer

Now this is commitment!
I would also suspect that wearing your jacket in hot weather would age it quicker, but can't say for sure.
The Thedi has already softened quite a bit, and in a short amount of time, making buttoning it up easy now.
Tan buffalo hide
Edit: put a picture more representative of the colour
Nice! I am waiting for the same style but in brown goat.
