Lost Worlds CHP HorseHide Jacket

[albertogreco]

Hi everyone,

I've just placed my very first order for a LW CHP 4+ oz and now I have to get the right sizing.

Before I piss off Stu I'd like to double check with the community.

Can anyone share body proportions and size purchased?

I'm 175 cm (5'9"") / 73 kg (160 lbs)

Stu suggested between 38R and 40R - any recommendations from LW CHP owners would be helpful!

Thanks.

Alberto

Take an actual chest measurement over the clothing you'd typically wear under the jacket. Have someone help you with this.

Alberto. With all due respect for some members. Stu knows his sizing much better than anyone here. Good luck with your purchase. Make sure you get a #10 size zipper for the front.

I’m same size as you and he recommended a 40 for my j24. Fit is spot on. Not sure if thats apples to apples. Sleeve and body length may need some adjustment. I’m a 33 in dress shirt.

Yes, listen to what Stu says, he knows how to get you into the right size.
Also, just call him if possible, much better than email for working with Stuart.

I second verifying sleeve length with LW. Talk to Stu, be respectful, he doesn't bite. In fact, he's super helpful.

Any 10 zip but the Gripper.

Mine came with a #10 NOS Talon that failed after about a year. I had JL replace it with a #10 YKK and it has been trouble free.

I agree on the sizing. I’m 6’1” and weigh around 210 pounds. Stu asked my height and weight and recommended a size 46. I had him add sleeve and back length and make the back straight across (no kidney dip) with no belt loops. The jacket came out great.

You know, I do think I changed a Talon on one of my LW but it’s going strong on another. Replaced with YKk. Perfect.

The Gripper’s tape can’t handle it. But Scoville sleeve zips are awesome.

OP- I’d spring for the Crown main zip. It’s awesome .
