My jacket is a Fox Creek Classic-II... 3-4mm thick, the jacket itself weighs over 10 pounds.
Hey Rich, not to split hairs here and the only reason I bringit up is because I am looking for a new leather, as my other one is just plain worn out. Darn thing is about 25 years old.

Anyway, I looked up Fox Creek and they say the Classic II is Crafted from 1.4-1.6mm naked leather. This from what I have seen, seems to be the "norm" in thickness for most bike leather jackets.
