Now that is a clever way to get a full length and clean picture of jackets, or of anything. Never seen it done before.

Aero nailed the fit on this one. Congratulations on an excellent jacket.

Tom71,
I can’t tell you how happy I was to read your post and see the photos. I should be receiving my own black Ryder tomorrow and I can only hope it looks and fits like yours!
I too went with the 3.5 oz horse and I’m happy to hear your assessment that it is a lighter easy wearing hide. Shout out to John D McCarter as well as he gave me some good tips and pointers that I incorporated into my order.

Thanks for the kind words!

In fact, the jacket Looks slightly better in real life, as arms and body are not as short as the picture-angle suggests. Took it to a rock-show last night and actually the waitress commented on it.

I can´t wait for the Pictures of your jacket. I am sure, you will like it just as I like mine!

My LW Ryder arrived and it is love at first sight! Unfortunately for you guys I am a very crappy photographer and this is the best I managed to do in the short time I had to snap a couple photos:

Not great I know but you get the idea. Stuart was perfect on the fit, nice and trim without being at all tight. I agree with Tom71 that the 3.5 oz horsehide is quite wearable right out of the box. The jacket is quite creaky and squeaky so I am wettimg it down with the water bottle and walking around the house windmilling my arms, normal behavior for one of us jacket people.
I will get some better pictures taken tomorrow and post them for you guys, this is too nice a jacket not to share with everyone.
