@Giles:

Let's stop the conjecture, none of us know anything about what we are talking about.

And listen to this instead…....

Thanks for adding nuance to the conversation @Giles

@Crease I dig the way yours fits and will try to plan my sizing similar to yours. Defo want to be able to layer with a hoodie or anything else. August 2024 seems so far awaaaaaaaay!!! One year and a half for me…

[Crease]

@Danimal506  I haven't worn mine this way yet, since its been pretty cold. I think the lack of breathability of the waxed canvas is the thing that would make this uncomfortable in the heat, sweat won't get out. In the cold it does a good job of keeping the heat in though.

Thanks Man!! Was kind of wishing they had something between XL and XXL but it worked out well I think. Good to have some room to move!

@Oaktavia I'm in the September '24 group. Will be happy to hear when you get yours!

@Crease

It does look great with a hoodie underneath!

I’m thinking it’ll be a great camping jacket for the desert and mountains. And good for early morning working in, until I get too hot from moving around.

@Crease awesome fit dude!!!

@Danimal506:

Anybody who owns a v2 Wills, do you ever wear it with a tshirt? I’m not big on layering, so I hope to be able to wear just a tshirt or long sleeve under.
I’m curious what temperature range it can be worn comfortably in.

I can chime in. I do wear this jacket with just a t-shirt and I'm good. If I really wanted/needed to, I can definitely wear with a hoodie or an IH UHF western.

Picture I posted on page 54, I wearing just a t-shirt with the jacket.

@Danimal506, I wear mine with just a tee, like you plan, and it's more than enough to keep me warm in the high 30s/low 40s.  although, admittedly, I run hot af.

but i;ve put it to the test out in joshua tree, which kinda, sorta approximates TX temps, me thinks…

hope this helps

Yea dude! I run hot af myself. And I’ll be living in San Diego again shortly, so Joshua Tree is a great example. I love camping out in JT! Such a beautiful place. I imagine a Wills would be perfect out there!

Texas is either hot, humid or cold. It’s an odd climate here in Austin. I miss So Cal lol

[Danimal506]

It has arrived!
A couple quick fit pics at work and my standing up shot.
It fits better than I imagined. Not as slim as I expected for how heavy I am currently.

Looks awesome–great fit!

[nonikes]

yup, totally spot on fit, dude, @Danimal506!  it's a long wait, but worth it, IMO

[Crease]

Looks great @Danimal506 !
Glad to hear it fits well! Always a worry when you cant try first!

[Danimal506]

Thanks!

@Crease yeah bud! That is the fit I'm trying to go for when mine is ready. I dig it on the bigger side- yours looks sick af.

[Crease]

Thanks @Oaktavia , means a lot! Yeah I usually tend to go for a little more fitted, but in this size its already a little tough reaching over my shoulder for the seatbelt in the car LOL!

Its always between this and my 526-PJ lately. All other coats are taking a breather for now. We haven't had a ton of snow this season here in Colorado, so I haven't really tested out the wax, but those creases just set in so nice.

You've got me wanting a 19oz 526L now though! That thing looks awesome!

[Oaktavia]

My V1 Wills came in the mail today after @Bigdog donated it for Filthy. It's a tad big on me but that's what I was hoping for. Layering with this one. What do y'all think?
