What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[Turnip]

Feels like over five pounds. Maybe six. These are very heavy duty jackets...

That company produces a lot of leather garment for police, army, navy...
Dressing up for naval action we had basalt grey leather pants and jackets from them if I remember the manufacturer right.

 

[MichaelRhB]

Yes, they make the leather flight jackets for the Luftwaffe.

Believe it or not. My new, lightweight Nappa blouson only weighs circa 700 gram!

Is that good?

It's good if you don't like leather.

I'm wearing my Zara (I know, I know) thick black denim trucker - it's a trim cut ( trim arms and shoulders) and so far is impressing me with its quality.

How is this related to a nappa leather blouson?

Edit: you're saying nappa isn't leather. It's more like denim?

unfair comparison man, denim trucker is not lined, that is already 1/3 to 1/2 the weight in leather jacket, saying that my 14oz denim jacket is 750 grams, and my sheep jacket is 850grams in my size 34-36 usually size S,

my sheep still doing fine in 7 years so far not turning to dust yet , I think thinner leather doesn't hold much oil to condition its fiber probably need more frequent conditioning if worn as an only jacket. I hear people around here always talking about their leather jacket cracking, and I read about leather jacket is praised to have a "long life span" to 5 years (lol) in one of local article, I assume they wear thin sheepskin here (without the fur) and normal people don't even know leather conditioner, many would probably use body lotion or cooking oil to try to soften their dried out leather, so probably if not maintained at all and worn everyday in humid and hot tropical sun, it would last 5 years, which is still better than most heavyduty denim workwear that rots and blowout within 2 years without washing/ maintenance

I was making a joke (answering Monitor) that for those not into leather a soft 700 gram jacket might be just the thing. The denim jacket was a separate idea i.e., the jacket I was wearing.

Huh? See my point above.

70’s Wrangler trucker arrived today. Might be a little big on me but I’m trying it out.

Yeah, it’s not going to work for me. Went back to the eBay listing and looked at the measurement pictured there, 22 or 22.5 inches, same as my other denim jackets. This jacket I measure to 23.6...
It was from a seller in the US so I’m hesitant to send it back due to the postage costs. Anyone have advice on best options? Resell or try to return it?

Just not special, but fantastic daily working horse because of the weight.

Are you sure it's leather and it's 700gr?

I shipped an RRL leathet jacket to the US yesterday. The jacket was without a doubt a lightweight, I would almost say it was flimsy. Still it weighed 1700gr.

100% lamb's Nappa leather, low-end quality storebrand.

Weighed myself without and with the jacket. 74,3 kg without, 75,0 kg with.
It's lined, but without wadding.

Size international S, but real between S and M.

I would resell it. Sending it back to the US would cost a lot and I'm not too fond of sending stuff internationally nowadays, with lockdowns and all that **** going on. They might decide on a whim to stop all mail from one country to another, as they did last spring. Also, people can't measure P2P worth ****.

Definitely. Seller probably didn’t lay it flat or stretch it or anything.
Put it up in the classifieds. This should be good for someone in Europe that is a size 44. I’m open to ship internationally as well but yeah.
