      How heavy and warm would you rate this leather and how soft do you think i can get?

        The leather is about 1.2mm thick.

        The other two questions are a little subjective.

          Thanks. Yes, that's true. I figure it's not as heavy as FQHH, just thinking weather it will be a jacket for moderate temperatures (October) or rather cold months. It's really tempting.

            It's not very warm.  It's thin leather and a thin lining.  I would wear it between 7 and 20 deg, with a thicker base layer when cold and t shirt when warm.

                It's not stiff like a FQHH Aero jacket.  But it's not soft like goat skin either.  It hasn't softened up too much in the 1.5 years I've had it.

                    Ah, I'm getting old obviously. Thanks a lot for the replies. I actually could use a jacket in that temperature range. But how to tell the wife? I need a strategy here…and might have to sell some items.

                            I agree with the 7 to 20 deg.
                            Below 7 the N1 and above 20 no jacket.
                            It is a great jacket. You won't regret it if you play your cards right. 😉
