Trying out my newly arrived Y’2 x the Shop Vancouver Type 3

3.5oz FQHH! I don't like his thicker hides, tried one 4.0oz on a suburban, moved it after a few months. My favorite is his 3.0oz fqhh though, on my lightning sample

In preparation for a potential purchase next year, I am exploring the LW Ryder - but in a 3 to 3.5 oz HH. No more FQHH for me as well.

I'd also modify the back to look like the Suburban, by removing the half belt. I remember seeing that the inner pocket has a snap button closure which I would also not include.

I will search more on this forum, but there doesn't seem to be many good pics of the Ryder from the back. This piece in a lightweight HH has 99% of the details I'd seek, even closer to my Grail than the Highway Star (missing a front chest pocket, hem is larger than the chest, etc.).

Just wanna say that the hem isn’t bigger than the chest on the highway star, it’s definitely smaller, the main issue is the bottom belt (hem) flairs out from the top of the belt, which is the slimmest part on the jacket body, but if you massage the sides, make a fold, and move the supposedly non-functional side tabs to the second button you get a straight to slightly narrower hem, which completely changes the fit on the jacket imho.

A good chilly, 34°F morning in Chicago today. Was out for two hours doing some bird watching. Freenote RJ-2 kept me perfectly warm.

From which maker is it? Amazing
