    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.

                great find, @Karol!  One of my absolute fave brands; I just really love their whole ethos, and Mike's a legit, down-to-earth dude

                  Together with the Heat Straps, Ship John seem to be on top of their game right now when it comes to waxed jackets. On one hand I'm so happy that they are getting recognition, on the other hand … lead times…

                      It sure looks legit and frankly none of these surprises me, that's why I have only praised the jacket.
                      But the low wages taint their mom-and-pop image.

                        Definitely disappointing. I'm sorta in the same boat re: the jacket being the only SJ I've ever really been interested in, but nonetheless lousy about all their other goods.

                        EDIT: also should add I'm not going to blindly take any of this as fact, but I feel like most of the time these things are true.

                        Also, off topic — what was the price of the Willis before the recent increase?

                          ^ I owned a wills a while ago and I want to say I paid $450-$475 for it.

                            Yeah I think they're $598 now, which… ouch. I'm not sure if I could stomach paying that for a canvas jacket.

                            I think they were $450 when I bought mine, was just trying to remember how much I'll have to pay when my remaining tab is due.

                                    Yep, they've gone up in price. I got in when it was $548 and they've increased it to $598.

                                    I guess with V2 comes the price increase. Adding the 2 way zipper, lining and other things, something had to give.

                                          If memory serves me right, Ship John was recently hiring more staff and was paying well over $15/hr plus offered medical and dental etc.
                                          So yea maybe this dude and Mike didn’t get along, that’s human interaction. But who really thought they made the thermals in house?
