I just read Mike, owner of shipjohn, was robbed and assaulted with a hatchet while walking to his car after an event at his shop.

They fractured his skull, but he’s alive and recovering.

[Brock]

So sad! Mike is such a good guy!! I was there that night and wish I would have stayed longer! Here is a link to a go fund me for mike and his family!

So sad to hear about the attack. Haven’t met Mike but emailed back and forth a few times. He hooked me up with a new grommet for my Gibson wallet. Seems like a good guy and didn’t deserve any of this BS. Visit the go fund me page if you can.

I don't follow Ship John but hope he makes a full recovery. I also hope they catch whoever it is that did this to him. Beyond messed up.

Terrible news.

I follow him on IG, poor chap.

It sounds like Mike is recovering, though his hair didn't make it. And he's been developing a vest to get @neph93 into trouble with Hot Ingrid!

The same pocket arrangement also shows up on this sample denim jacket. I prefer it to that used on the Wills jacket.

Haha… don’t think I haven’t noticed it either. Sadly my vest super geek status is waning. The Faith vest IHUK are selling is not yet mine. The rather beautiful IH padded vest has been considered but can’t be justified because of the Viking Kitty and the The Predator (IHV-28). There’s even a vest in The Outlet in my size that I can’t pick up. I’m losing my touch [emoji20]

[Brock]

This vest is definitely on my radar! I stopped in the other day for a small Gumbo lunch party and saw it in person! It’s gonna be a serious work vest with all the pockets and waxed shoulders.

Can’t wait to get my 10oz waxed canvas Townes!!

@neph93 you're slipping, man!

[tvenuto]

I rather think he looks better now, but that's just me.  I also like the pocket layout better as a vest than a jacket.  All very nice either way.

way to go @Brock, you and Dad are looking very squared away

I love seeing Ship John discussed on here. I'm a huge fan and have a ton of Mike's stuff. Currently rotating three different Wills jackets. I try to get one of everything they make.

[Boyo]

@Palmer , I know i would like to see some more of mike's stuff posted here whattaya got?
I'm "waitin on a Wills" myself so would surely like to see those as well.

@Boyo here are a few pieces from my collection. I'll post more as I wear them.

Here is my Erling x Ship John folding knife. It's been my on my belt every day since I got it.

The Orbison sunglasses case was the first leather item I got from Ship John. I've had it for a few years and it still looks brand new.

Me being a creep in my Wills Jacket made from Cone Mills denim. 16 oz I believe. This was a while ago, the jacket has since faded more after heavy wear and a wash.

This was the day my Wills Jacket in black showed up.

I won't bother posting pics of the tan Wills because @Brock nailed it with his. Maybe I'll post the Townes shirts next…

[neph93]

Great collection, thanks very much for posting. Need to try his stuff one day. Seems like a great guy and I like his set up and aesthetic.
