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.

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
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?

Thanks everyone - have gone with the xl based on feedback as guess I will layer more!

Yep! Mine feels a bit long but it’s pretty comfy day one. Gonna trash it out in the yard today then give it a hot wash and probably dry it too

@Paul9221 At the bottom of all your posts it says “Blanket line all the things” When I got my jacket I messaged Ship John saying… Thanks,I love it and if you flannel/blanket lined one of these people would loose their minds.
Jett, I saw this and immediately thought of you:
Sorry for the way late reply but do we know who did the blanket lining? I have a Wills that I had a tailor bring in on the sides. It improved the fit but the finishing isn't as clean as it was from the factory. I've always thought blanket lining it would be a great way to cover up the seam and also provide a lot more warmth.
Edit: appears maybe it's factory my apologies. Would still love to know if anyone else provides the service.

I guess the 4th times a charm. Got a wills coming my way finally. Just in time for summer
-
Lucky you.
I had the jacket in my basket and filled out my delivery address, went to payment and the basket was empty and 'Sold out'.
Peed off…. been up since 5am for work and have waited until midnight (UK time) to buy one.

I was giving the blue a really hard look, but ended up with the regular tan. It held a slight edge over the blue.
Its also my first ship john purchase

The blue is super cool! I saw it in person the other day when I picked up a GB axe.

If you login to your Ship John account before the drop and also have Apple Pay or Android Pay set up you can check out a lot faster. Using this method I've never had any issue getting my order through. Don't give up hope! The jacket is worth the wait and hype in my opinion!

@Brock I need to remind you to get me those extra male brass snaps sets. So I can close up the cuffs on mine. Either for me or my uncle.

Crap I completely forgot about those. Sorry! How many did you want? I need to stop by soon to pick up the sheath for my Axe anyway.

Looks like the broken twill jeans are going live tomorrow afternoon. I was pretty dead set on getting a pair but I think I'm gonna gonna pass after seeing the brass button on the back pocket.
