    After owning XL and XXL Wills jackets I settled on the larger size. The fabric is too thick and heavy to size down in my opinion. Also mind the sleeve length, as the fabric creases at the elbow the length will decrease so consider the long option if you’re lanky.

    That being said I have held onto my XL Long OG Cone Mills denim Wills jacket even though it’s just in a bag in my closet. I’m not usually sentimental with clothes but that was my first Ship John purchase back in 2017.

      Good info @Palmer between the long ass wait and the inability to exchange of the sizing is off…it’s a bit of a high pressure situation. Haha.

      I’m curious…anyone have any experience/ thoughts on how the newer lines version compares to the V1? Haven’t read much input on that factor.

        @Mizmazzle Lemongrab is brilliant!  You really need to watch Adventure Time.  At one point, he is given a twin of himself.  They do everything together.  Then finally they start hating each other because they don't share well.  Lemongrab ends up eating the twin.  It's disturbing and hilarious all at once 😃

        As for the sizing, if you go back and look at Brock's posts, he sized to get good mobility.  My large fits me like his.
        I can throw that thing over the beefiest of my sweaters and it still works.  I forget who said it, I think maybe Jett, but the Wills jacket does seem to run one size larger than IH jackets.  The Wills L fits me like an IH-526PJ XL.

        The medium fits more trim and looks better.  The medium looks good over a UHF or a t-shirt.  The large over a t-shirt looks ridiculous, but looks fine over a heavy sweater.

        Anyhow, I think I'm starting to repeat myself.  I look forward to having this discussion with you repeatedly over the next 2.5 years 😃

          Hahah. Indeed we will hash and rehash the details of sizing and the ludicrous time line I’ll be trying to ignore. But hey, now I have Lemongrab to checkout!!

            Something I did and worked out great: I purchased a Ship John shirt before my Wills jacket got made. Confirmed sizing with the shirt, the crew said to take the same size. Sizing for the jacket worked out perfect.

            Ofcourse, you'll have to shell out extra for the shirt but it will give you some ease of mind.

              That’s an excellent point @bbtns

              I did just snag one of their Henley thermals in medium and it fits perfect for how I like em. Not really the same as a full on shirt but perhaps some type of barometer.

                Yes, I think if you give this as a reference point the crew will be able to size you correct for the jacket.

                    What can people tell me about how much sleeve length I can really expect to lose to stacking on a Wills? My arms are proportionally short compared to my chest and shoulders, so I need an XL to be able to wear anything other than a t-shirt under it. I'm in G16 for delivery next year, but want to dial in my measurements. I'm definitely getting it shortened to a length I know will work for me, but I'm a little stuck on the sleeves. Thanks!

                      @Paul9221 similar to you with the weight loss in that I’m down from 175 to 155…. do you feel you could size down to the small now or still happy w the medium?

                          Anyone else snag one of the Ramblin Vests from the scratch and dent section?  These things are tanks.  The only design issue I can see Mike having is the hand warmer pockets are kind of a PITA to get your hand in when new.  I think they will relax after a few wears though.

                            I grabbed one last night. I’m excited for it, I’m a pretty big fan of vests and I wear my wills all the time so it should be a win 😃

                              Does anyone have any experience with the v1 wills jacket and the lined v2? Wondering how that liner makes a difference. Sure it’s more comfortable.

                                I have the unlined wills as well as this new lined ramblin vest.  I love my wills and will not be upgrading, however if I had to choose between old design and new I would pick the new wills.  The unlined waxed jacket feels wet anytime I wear it with just a t shirt until it warms up.  Also, the double zipper is a big upgrade, anytime I sit I have to un-zip and then button up without the bottom button.

                                    Finally bit the bullet and put down a deposit for a Wills. Not sure why I waited so long, but I’ll be waiting until August of 2025 to find out what all the hype is about!

                                      @nrtphotos I've got one for OCT'23–I'm so curious to see if It lives up to the hype. I hope so 🙂

                                        Hey Bren, totally missed this. So sorry!

                                        Medium is absolutely perfect for me.  I can wear it over a T, or over a light sweater or UHF.  I think small MIGHT work over a T, but it would probably be tight.

                                        The Wills was my one jacket when I went up to the San Francisco area for Thanksgiving.  Absolutely love it!

                                        Blanket-line all the things!!!
