What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

Is the jacket really as heavy as they advertised? (2mm)
No, definitely not. If I compare with one of my LW, e.g. LW Easy Rider 4oz+ Navy HH it feels roughly 2/3 of the LW jacket. Construction and stitching quality is quite good but the jacket itself doesn't feel as indestructible as a typical LW 4oz HH jackets feels if you know what I mean. The wearing comfort of FCL is really good - one of may favorite leather jackets. For riding, LW for sure is way better, but I'm not a rider.

Leather is much softer than LW and doesn't feel waxy at all

New to me Lost World Cotton Roadhouse with my Greatest Generation Clothing Co. Grizzly over top because it's too cold to ride in just a cotton jacket. I'm really liking this combined with the newer high waisted pants I picked up at Uniqlo.

Will you be donating a few fringe pieces to needy individuals?;)
Yes!
One thing I noticed is that they are more fragile than I originally figured...
Please PM me with your requests.
I'm also trying to figure out if I should remove the windflap.
Any thoughts?

My first thought upon seeing the pics was "it's weird that the windflap is longer that the zip, it doesn't look right".
If you can do it without damaging things i would do it.
