Lost Worlds Rigger, brand new, fresh out of the box. 4oz Horsehide. To commemorate 30 years as a ferryboat captain, I wanted to treat myself so I ordered this Rigger (I’ve been eyeballing this model on the LW website for afew years now).
I’ll do a full review soon (in a separate thread). Just wanted to get a quick pic on day 1 (late afternoon lighting, and it just started to rain, when my wife took this pic).
Awesome jacket, great fit and flawless construction.

Congratulation on your anniversary, Thor!

Hard to imagine a better treat, too. Absolutely outstanding and clearly "your jacket"! What a nice addition to your collection.

Thanks @seres and @Tom71 and everyone else who congratulated me on both my new Rigger jacket and my 30 years as a captain. It’s been quite a “ride” as they say (no pun intended!). I was 23 years old when I first took a job as a ferryboat captain, thinking I’d be doing that for a year or 2 and then moving on to some other boat job. Well 30 years later I’m still at it: older, wiser (?) but definitely wearing a cooler jacket (went from the company-issue Wearguard windbreaker to a Lost Worlds Rigger!).
Hope everyone can enjoy the highs (and lows) of a fulfilling job the way I have been lucky enough to.
