      Got also my XXL Long version of Wills Tan jacket. Mixed feelings about size. Great fit around chest, too baggy on belly part. In offline shop I would have taken XL maybe. When deciding about XL and XXL before ordering I considered these main factors:

      1. saw recommendation on forums to size down from IH. (My IH jackets shirts are XXXL).
      2. thought 24oz material is too thick, hence no problem with measurments for XXL.

      Want:
      Leather jacket IHJ-64-BRN     XXXL

        I'm also mixed on the fit. I got a medium (usually take a large on IH UHF), and it fits great over a shirt or thermal. It's a wee tight over a sweater or UHF, mostly in the shoulders.  So, I placed an order for a size large.  We'll see how that one fits.  I'm concerned that the sleeves might be a bit long.

        I ordered a medium based on the Kuroki denim jacket that I bought from them. The difference is that I wear that Kuroki jacket over a T-shirt often.  Wearing the Wills over a T is a different story, as it definitely feels like a layering piece.

        I might end up keeping both. One for layering and one for not. Will decide once the large arrives.

          Cold (not oppressively hot) enough to bust out the Wills:

              I don’t think they’ve taken orders for it yet,unless I missed it. Can’t get a handle on what shade of brown it is,based on the pictures.

                Yeah, I think that this is the first month that it will be available.

                Brown trucker hats with that cool SJ logo launching mid-month!  Pumped for that!

                  You’re right. They take orders the 15th.

                    Does 24OZ on the fabric sound right?

                      It's armor!  The thickest fabric of anything that I own. The fact that it's waxed probably adds to it.

                        Yes, it's 24oz for sure. 18 before waxing. It's quite thick.

                        @hm1944 I currently wear an XXL Long. I used to have an XL Long but sold it because it was too tight in the shoulders and not really comfortable to wear. It takes a while for the fabric to settle and drape so maybe just wear it for a while?

                          Thank you Palmer.  I think in my head I expected maybe more body fit like it is with IH Type III jackets, but this type of jacket has another philosophy (working chore jacket). I am just thinking loud and yes this jacket is very well built and robust. Will start wearing and see how it developes.

                            Some people are able to get away with sizing down and having a type 3 rock 'n' roll fit (Dean Del Ray) but if you have a broad chest and shoulders I say just embrace the chore coat fit! You can look back in this thread to see my smaller sized fits but eventually I came to a sad realization that a size down was just too small for me. I'm so thankful to have been able to get a larger size with the new ordering system.

                            Here's me in my XXL Long about a month ago.

                              That’s also what I would recommend… wear it as much as possible. It’s rather stiff and boxy in the beginning but starts to conform to your body shape as well as it develops folds, rolls and wrinkles at the right places.
                              Plus you have enough room for layering with UHFs and IHW-01s...

                                  I finally got a wills this month and went for the brown, but now I’m wondering whether I should have ordered xl instead of large. I have an xl ramblin which is large around the belly/ waist and talking to them they are saying the wills and ramblin are pretty much the same in dimesnsions. I’m about 185cm and 91/92kgs so hoping I can get away with the large or need to tell them soon - any advice from anyone who goes between large/xl with them? I’m a xxl in ironheart uhf and a large in a dehen crissman for comparison. Thanks in advance for any advice

                                    I’m a XXL or XXXL in IH and XL in Ship John fits me just fine. I’m 5’8 and about 175. Hope this helps.

                                      Bear with me 🙂

                                      I have the Kuroki mills denim Wills in a medium.  When I first got it, the sleeves were really long, I had to cuff them for the jacket to work.  Over time, the creases in the sleeves shortened them a bit.  And then, after finally washing it, the sleeves shrank enough that I didn't have to cuff them.

                                      So, when I ordered my waxed Wills, I went with the same size: medium.  Here's the problem that I encountered.  I rarely wear the waxed Wills over a T shirt. Not sure about the rest of you.  It just doesn't feel like an over-a-T type jacket.  Whereas I almost always wore the denim Wills over only a T shirt.

                                      In short, I sized my waxed Wills like my denim Wills but wished I would've sized up because unlike the denim Wills, I almost entirely use the waxed Wills for layering.

                                      That said, I'm not sure that the large waxed Wills will fit right. Hopefully will know in about a month.  Guessing it will.

                                        Reckon I’m the same size as you… I have an L ramblin... quite fitted an great with a thin layer or two under. I’ve gone for an XL in the wills as I figure I’ll want to layer with thicker items... I guess it depends on what you are going to wear under it?
