European elk skin (?) short jacket, in excellent condition, the elephant ear pocket flaps are still stitched down strong, size 44 regular fit. I’m actually selling this, just got it today.

This is a Norwegian brand more famous for gloves and coats here in Norway. They also had a store right here in my home Town. Never seen a jacket like this from them before. Very interesting.

Lost Worlds Ryder. 3,5oz Black Horsehide. Stock size 42 with no mods. Took inspiration from @John D McCarters Ryder. Until seeing that I thought that all LW were designed to be bulky and oversized.

Sizing and Fit: Looking at the measurements, I knew that arms and body would be shortish, and they are. Don’t mind, though, as I like my jackets fairly short. Shoulders and Chest and just perfect.

Leather: I’ve heard so much about LW heavy hides that I am surprised how lightweight the jacket feels. It is by no means unsubstantial, but the heavier Horween CXL horse or steer are certainly different animals altogether.
Leather feels, looks and smells sublime and already develops very lively grain across the arms and shoulders. Will be a treat to break it in.

All in all, I am very pleased. The jacket just feels absolutely right, putting it on. Thanks to all the beautiful LW in the lounge lately that made me pull the trigger, and a warm thanks to you, John, for your advice.

Dealing with Stuart was an absolute pleasure, BTW. Very professional, on the spot and immensely fast in answering. Would and will order with him again at all times.

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.

I wouldn't call it light, my CXL HH bootleggers are 5 and 5.6lb, my x150 Commando is 6.6lb and my J-24 (also 3.5oz) is 6.5oz.
It is definitely nice to wear, but it is by no means light...

Badalassi? Thought it’s russett jerky. It’s heavy?

It is mid weight leather, just a bit stiff to start, very weareble, not as though and heavy as CXL HH and not as waterproof, but lovely leather.

Good point! I suppose I meant light in comparison to my 4oz + LW. Im happy to see that you agree that it is a nice hide to wear.

And it shows! I’m really glad you reached out to me when I was putting mine together because I knew I wanted to tweak a couple things on the Ryder but I didn’t know where to start.

Took my new car and my Himel Frobisher to an early morning car gathering.

Sunny, warm day today so I tackled some yard work in my LW A-2. Lots of awesome Lost Worlds jackets posted on TFL lately; I’m tempted to go on the LW website and order something new....

50s today with a lots of riding before the winter storm rolls in wearing the Vanson Daredevil Z150. It's a great riding jacket, super comfortable and good protection, one of my favorites so far. I highly recommend it for on the bike and off the bike wear.
