The softness definitely fools you into thinking that it's a less substantial jacket than what it is. I haven't weighed my Bronco, but in the hand it's discernably heavier than my HH BK Star. There's a really noticeable difference between the Horween Bronco and my Pakistani goat GW Rough Wear 18091. It feels incredibly lightweight. I'm off to find my digital scale to make sure this isn't all just in my head...
It’s a negligible amount. I weighed my 3 Goodwears. Bronco horween, dubow horween and rw Italian. The Italian was the lightest by a very small margin.
There ya go. I’m all for finding answers to curiosity but can you imagine if Officer Dibley was watching. Man, would we be in for it. Probably something like “ people are dying in wars and starving all over the world and you guys are worried about the difference in weights between your fuckin overpriced jackets “ what do think? Close?

I'm thinking again about what you said. I believed you, but I had no idea. This leather is unbelievably soft.
I have to avoid to caress my jacket too much when I wear it, or people will think I'm crazy.

Damn straight. No more sleepless nightsFirst world VLJ forum problems we got going on here.
Interesting that a jacket perceived to be so soft and lightweight turns out to be the heaviest of the bunch, by as much as 20+% over a similar-sized goatskin jacket and nearly 10% over a different flavour of of HH. Who would have thought...
The weight is something that I felt the 1st time I wore the GW Bronco in goat , felt like I was wearing quasi a shirt . Super light weight compared to the HH ELC I own , but very strong when I tried to enlarge the shoulders , just to see , less elasticity than the other A2 in HH .
I am totally aware of that. JC has exceeded my expectations.
Not strange, feel the same about you and your 1761, PA and his 23380, Jan’s 27752/Monarch… many more to mention but you get the gist.
