    @popvulture Yeah that’s the regular. It fit well standing still but with movement the sleeves felt short and the shoulders were constricting… which worsened with wear. The long version is perfect in my opinion. Too bad there isn’t as way for you to try them both out.

      Thank you — this really helps! I think the long is looking more and more like the way to go.

      Looking at that pic, I think the extra inch in the body feels like the right call, and the sleeves look a little shorter than I'd expect for 25.75", but I can see the scrunch in the arms. Makes sense with the thick/rigid material. I think previously I'd been picturing this in terms of a type III or something, which I'm not a big fan of being too long, but the chore coat vibe definitely warrants a little more length.

        All this sizing info is super helpful. Thanks to the pioneers paving the way here. Come 2025 when it’s my turn I’ll look back on those who built the railroads, cleared the jungles, and sized the Wills! There will be a holiday named for you all!

          Loooool right? I remember placing my order a couple years ago and being like this is a jacket FROM FUTURE TIMES. 😃

          Edit: actually looking back it was only a little more than a year ago but it feels like forever. Definitely have ever waited this long for an article of clothing.

              For you guys who are waiting for delivery of the wills, another cool waxed coat is heatstraps cheif. Its insulated and beefy AF. They have some stock now in different colors. Ive got a blue one and I really like it. I think its got a place along with my wills. I love both so much.

                @popvulture get the long. I think anyone over 6 feet tall should get the long. The sleeves definitely get shorter after breaking in.

                  fwiw, I've both v1 and v2, with the latter featuring a two-way zip (ftw) and lining.  I find v1 to be infinitely more wearable.  If memory serves, they're both equal weight and I don't think the lining adds substantially more heft, but I'm not wearing v2, it's wearing me.

                  they're both monumental, and definitely worth the (insane!!) wait.  v2's 2-way zip makes it worth the price of admission alone.

                    That's interesting — I heard many people say that v1 was a bit harsh on the inside due to being unlined. I feel like at the very least I'll appreciate the smoothness of a liner. I was just wearing my MF Campus yesterday, and the unfinished interior makes it a hassle to put on over a long sleeve shirt. But then again, there is a simplicity I appreciate in unlined stuff.

                    I ended up changing my order to Long, seemed like the obvious route after hearing y'all's input, and others.

                      @popvulture  Definitely right call on the long.  Especially if you are used to iron heart shirts.

                        @popvulture stoked for you to get this piece! Probably not as much as you are but probably 65%…Looking forward to the pics and thoughts!!

                        I would have thought the liner would be a positive too. I can conceptualize it adding to the already thick canvas fabric and making it “cumbersome” maybe??

                          Haha to be honest I think I’m mainly just stoked that it’s coming 5 or 6 months early — the wait on these things is outrageous.

                          I feel like there’s a distinct possibility I won’t even like it, but that’s fine considering how easy it'd be to move. Part of the fun of the experience is just getting to check something out that’s so revered and hard to get your hands on. In the end, I do hope I love it. We’ll see 🙂

                            They definitely have shortened the wait a bit. I put my order in on 12/2021 when they opened their new system. Scheduled to receive mine in April 2023, but it got shipped to me and arrived on 1/14/2023.

                            This thing is super stiff! Breaking this thing in will definitely be an adventure.

                            The fit is definitely good and the lining is very welcome.

                            I didn't size up since I wanted a fitter fit. I did get one in an XL, second-hand, and it just wasn't for me. I didn't want to look like a walking bell. Even layering up would not have helped.

                            In this current jacket, I could still layer a bit. Definitely can wear either a hoodie or a UHF with this.

                            And now, pics :p

                            Stands on its own, it's that stiff.

                            Finally found a mirror for a fit pic.

                              @popvulture:

                              Just got the email confirming my size, so I'm super psyched to say mine will be arriving earlier than expected as well.

                              Curious — do the sleeves scrunch up with time on these? I'm going with an L regular because I'm not really into the the body looking overly long in any way. The 25.75 seems just fine for sleeves, but I do wonder if they'll actually get shorter as some creasing in the arms sets in. Anybody have experience with this?

                              Fwiw I'm 6'2" but any time I've ever ordered anything in a long size, I've regretted it.

                              I asked this a page or so ago and never got any responses, but when I asked SJ themselves they told me 1/4" - 3/4" sleeve length lost due to stacking. I have a broad chest and shoulders and weirdly short arms so I went with an XL for the chest/shoulder measurement and got my sleeves and body length shortened a bit. Hopefully it's spot on.

                                looks a great fit, @iamjustdanny!  the jacket's an absolute bear, but it's super functional and looks good when it's wearing me around town  😉

                                  Indeed it is. I kind of like the fact it can stand on its own! Neat little parlor trick, I think.

                                    That's a nice fit on that jacket. I would also love to get one but with just online measurements, and the shipping to EU makes me to stay away from getting one.
