Not only that but the measurements look completely wack…

Just looked at the chart. The thighs are extremely slim. I have stick legs and even the 002 cut seems like it would be way too snug. Unfortunately I don't have the right body type for his shirts either. Just glad I fit in a Wills.

I used to try and convince myself tight upper blocks worked, but then I got a pair of jeans that actually fit and cringe at all the suffering I put in in years past. The 777s are like this for me as well, and I have skinny legs.
-
Their jeans always seem laughably tight in the top-block. Like, whose skinny-ass fits in these?

I agree!! And I know exactly why. Mike is the skinny Ass! Lol.

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.
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!
I was logged in but not sure why I had to fill out my address, regardless of that, it should give you at least 5mins to get your details filled out. I was buying the blue aswell which won't be back.

It cant work like that. For a website to work, anything that has not actually been sold needs to show as available. So until you have actually paid for the item in your cart has not been sold. So multiple people can have the same item in their cart, but only one can actually buy it. The obverse is that only one person can have the item in the cart, does not bother to purchase and it is unavailable for anyone else. It's a complete pain in the arse, but there is no better solution (that we have found anyway)….

Thanks for the explanation @Giles and yes it is a pain….12.00 I had it in my basket read to pay...12.02 I emailed them asking what happened to my item.

Hey Bryan, I'll share the trick that I've used to get the Wills jacket twice now.
I log in about 20 minutes before it's due to go on sale, I add something to my cart, like a hat or a shirt, then I go to check out. This is just to make sure that you're logged in and your information is already filled out right before you submit the order. You don't want any surprises between adding it to your cart and submitting payment. It's also to quicken your fingers. Don't forget to remove that item before the next part
A minute or two before the jacket goes live, go to the jacket page and just refresh every few seconds. As soon as you see that page change, add, check out, and submit.
It's not magic, it just takes fast hands and preparation. If you're reading measurement charts when it launches, you lost. If you're pulling your credit card out of your wallet at launch time, you lost. You need to know your size, be logged in, have your credit card number entered, and know where the submit buttons are. It's a pain, I know.
I imagine that they'll rerun the indigo version, and I hope that you get it!

This is the way. Also, I just saw on Instagram that they plan on doing another run of the blue Wills later this year. You'll get it next time!

Thank you for the heads up.
I did everything you said above apart from the adding something to the cart prior.
I'll be sure to add next time. -

I'll be sure to add next time.Thats what I did also. I added a hat before as a test and went all the way through until the final buy button.
I got mine on my ipad and actually had my google pay account logged in and just hit buy. Made the whole thing happen pretty quickly, although I did try this 3 other times also.

Really nice hour on IG TV with Mike and Chris from Wesco. Mainly to introduce a new collab,but they answered questions ETC. Chris said it would be saved. I think Wesco was the host. Just checked and it's saved by Wesco.
I watched as well. I love listening to Chris wax poetic about boots. I learn something new every time.
-
Thanks for letting me know that the IG live was saved so it could be viewed later. I tried to listen to it in the background this morning, but I kept getting interrupted and missed about half of it. Chris is a helluva nice guy in person or on the phone, and so is Mike. Can't say enough nice things about Wesco and Ship John.
As for the Wills jacket woes, as stated before, you really can't get one unless you're signed up for a payment system that saves your information. I use Shop Pay, and I log in 10 minutes before the schedule time. Mike has tried really hard to make the system as fair as possible. Thankfully, they open spots every month, and it's way better than it used to be when the list was just indefinitely closed. I handled a Wills Jacket two weeks before the list closed, and by the time I wrapped my head around the price, I'd missed the opportunity. I got on the monthly list a little over a year later. It's worth the wait.

I'll also note: I don't fit the Ship John shirts well, but that's my body more than their pattern. I have the odd combo of long arms and a short torso - perfect for Iron Heart, totally backwards for Ship John.
I finally broke down and ordered one of the Brown Striped Patton shirts recently, and I sized up to an XL for the sleeve length. Predictably, it was too big in the body, but I had great results taking it to a great local seamstress I use. She took 2" per side out of the body and shortened the length by 1".
It cost me $35 total, and the shirt is a perfect fit now. It sounds like a massive taper, but it's really only a 4" drop from the chest, and it was totally worth it. She sewed the seams the same as they came and you'd never know the work was done.
-
Mine was a little too big as well, so I got washed and dried it and definitely got shrinkage in the sleeve length and a little throughout the rest of the shirt. Made it fit better and softened the fabric as well. Sorry but I didn’t take any measurements.
Thanks, Jett!
I didn't need exact measurements, just wondering if you felt like it shrunk at all. I'll give it a hot-wash/dry. Did you use a delicate or normal wash cycle? I know all machines are different but I get the feeling that this shirt doesn't need a delicate touch.
