How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

It's a size , gulp...48", but the numbers are within 1/2" of my 50's HB. Picked it up from the classifieds. I'm really hoping it fits. This was the jacket I was after when I ordered my 50's HB. I've wanted a Ryder forever. I was actually going to post a WTB for one in the classifieds and then this literally smacked me in the face!

It looks good as new! Nice catch! I did some number digging on the Ryder before as it is my favorite LW style too and it appears a size 40 has 21" PTP, and a 42 has 22" PTP, very consistently through various jackets and measurements I found. Going by this, size 48 shouldn't have much more than 24" PTP. This plus the taper through the body makes me confidently hoping it'll fit you!

I desperately hoping that if my 40" from Aero fits size up to a 44" a 48" will fit size down to a 44"!!

It's very unlikely that will fits you if LW labeled 48, then it's either 46 or 48. My returned Suburban has almost exactly measurements from my Suburban 44 but fits smaller.

I hope I am wrong!!!

I strongly considered LW's Leathertogs as it is a stunning jacket. Alas, I have too many cross-zips so opted for the CHP. That in the Navy is going to be something to see, great choice!

A few of us recently ordered LWs, and Ton has a new-to-him jacket on the way. Funny how it seems to happen in spurts. A few Freewheelers here, a bunch of Thedi there. Now LW.

I have had Suburbans and a Ryder.
They do fit true to size. The Ryder was a little tighter than the Suburban- both were 4 oz at the time.

24.5" chest is a tiny 48" tho. Aero's come in at 26" plus at that size...I'll know if it's a flipper on Monday. I hope not. Stu recommended a size 46" for me when I ordered my j-23. Jaw clenched, fist bite until Monday I 'spose.
Numbers are awfully close to other jackets I own...wish me luck!
