Cuz I'm still waiting on my replacement jacket and I want to wear it for a long time before it gets too hot. Oh it's goatskin if that matters. And I also want to get a Todd's jacket but it may be too hot for it by the time I do.
Hey, if HF can wear his heavy CS cowhide in the humid, stifling heat in Peru (actually Hawaii), you can certainly wear yours anywhere.
BTW, I've worn my Todds in Sand Diego last month and it was quite comfortable in 80+ degree weather. (Great thing about Todd's is that it's paper-thin so it's like wearing a leather T-shirt).
Im in the south so my LC Wested horse has been getting quit a bit of use the past few months. Once the hot humid days of spring and summer arrive here in Tenessee, the jacket goes back up on the hanger in my prop display.

I'm in Los Angeles and wear my Westeds about 6-7 months out of the year. I only put them back on the hanger when it gets REAL warm here, typically April or May-September. IMO, the heat helps to soften the leather and mold the jacket to your body - at least that's what I tell myself. My lamb and goat jackets never seem too thick to wear, even in those warmer temps.
Leather jacket season for the true adventurer is all year round. In the summertime? You unzip it and go, even if you're dealing with a tropical rainforest type climate.
In the wintertime? Unless you're going to be somewhere colder than Nepal, you zip that puppy up and go (you may add leather gloves to your ensemble).

Anything else is wimping out.
What about wearing a brown cardigan underneath? ;-) -M
I was in Paducah KY in July...can't picture myself wearing a HH LC jacket, it was painfully hot, though awesome storms at night. Maybe I might wear my Todds Raider.
I remember a guy from I went to school with years back, and his daily uniform was a black leather jacket and shorts year-round. 90+ or -0 it never changed.
