That thing looks SO soft. It's like a chinchilla or something And that's awesome AF that you got a pic with Mike when you picked it up.

Can't wait to see how it evolves!

@Jett129:

I’m pretty sure the Green shirt is a new Patton shirt that is to be released in the near future.

Did anyone pick up the recent brown or orange versions?  They looked a bit too shiny for me.

[Jett129]

I also didn’t like the look of the recent Patton fabrics. He said the green one should be out by the end of the month.

I got the brown one. It's not as shiny in real life. I don't know why I did, though. Ship John shirts never fit me quite right. I occasionally buy one because they look cool and then I end up selling it a few months later because the sleeves are too short or the fit is too boxy. They look great when they fit people though.

I've been gazing upon the Wills jackets on the Ship John website and after looking through photos and talk here I might be interested in placing an order. Looks like the soonest one would arrive would be January 2024. Is this the only way order these jackets?

[Jett129]

That would be correct. They’re very popular,,and they can only make,I think,about 50 a month.

I actually saw some on the Wesco Japan site, but don't know if they'll ship internationally.  There's always eBay, too, but they've been selling for close to double retail on there.

Thanks for the replies boys.

@Palmer if you're out there, I see you wear an XXL long. I think we are close to the same size. If I recall you wear XXXL or XXXXL in the 19oz Lefty Trucker?

I bought the orange Patton. I did not find the fabric shiny to start. It has become more muted after washing.

[Oaktavia]

I'm confused…the link below has options for the Wills jacket starting in Jan 2024 but when any date is selected, it says unavailable.  Does that mean they are unavailable to order yet or unavailable all the way until Nov 2025? Only the top two 2023 selections are showing "(sold out)"...

Looks like the first available is Aug 2024….. I’ve got a XXL long wills, I honestly prob could have gone XL. Lately I have been wearing XXXL in IH westerns

Not to de rail the thread… but I got a heat straps coat too that is a similar waxed chore coat and is even more heavy duty. I miss sized mine and have a large on the way, the wait is months not years. All USA made

Hope that helps

[Oaktavia]

Thanks @kkibbey23 for pointing that out. I just put a deposit down for a Wills V2!!!

Went with XL long. I wear XXL in IH westerns so I think I'm good! Wooo…now just time to wait 875 days on the dot...

@Oaktavia

I bet you'd be an XL Long if I had to wager a bet.

Edit: Just saw that you ordered the size I just recommended. Nice.

[Oaktavia]

Thanks man I'm confident with the size I chose.

Pretty stunned about the wait time…2.3 years for me.

What has been y'alls longest wait for SJ gear to arrive?

[SPEIRMOOR]

Just for comparison I'm a XXL in IH Westerns, XXXL in IH Flannels, M in Carharrt (C003) and a L long in SJ.

[Oaktavia]

The SJ email from last night said they would double check with me when the time comes for sizing so I literally have over two years to figure it out LOL.

I'll measure my 19oz Lefty again just to be sure. I could probably get a few more inches in that jacket around the beer gut though if I had the option so that will be in mind.

Seems worth the wait she's a beauty

This Waxed Wills hat is super awesome, I love the fabric feel. Waxed is such a neat concept.

[Paul9221]

@Oaktavia I love that look, man!  The hat, the glasses, and that shirt.  And the hat matches the tattoo under your beard!

I'm a huge fan of the SJ baseball caps.  The waxed ones in particular because some of their trucker caps make my already big head look bigger.  The one that got away from me was the olive cap.  I wish they would re-run that one.
