Some more pics, including the side pic (sorry, I'm awful at taking photos). You can see how my thicc booty necessitated sizing up to the XL. Too many beers and squats.
-
@iamntbatman that looks like a lovely fit man, definitely made for you! I have another one I am waiting for and I think I'll get a size smaller. Your side shots help confirm this.
-
@iamntbatman bra!! You outta show off them dreads!!! Looks like you got one hell of a crop growing there!!
-
@Mizmazzle heh I had a head of dreads a long time ago
-
@Mizmazzle hah, it's actually just a very unkempt bun. I gotta get the sides/back buzzed back down.

Just pulled my old Cone Mills Wills Jacket out of storage and washed it. I think I'm going to sell it because I replaced it with a larger size. Thought y'all might appreciate the fades.

Welp, just made my final payment — should be getting my Willis in the next week or so, I guess. Stoked.

Awesome! Did you get it earlier than expected?
-
@Oaktavia yep it'll be earlier. I think my original date to expect it was June or July. I got a notice a lot earlier than expected in like January or Feb, I believe... doing a final size confirmation. They said it'd be like 4 weeks at that point, but then it took a while and I decided to check back and see what was up. They were delayed due to some kind of zipper shortage.
So, TLDR — not as early as initially expected, but still earlier than my original group.

Man. This is hilarious and weird but I've been thinking all this time that the jacket is WILLIS, as in "what you talkin' bout, Willis?" It's like my brain kept seeing Wills and added the i in there.
I feel sort of stupid but more disappointed, to be honest. I'm gonna keep calling it a Willis.
Anyway, mine arrives tomorrow!

This is the best.

I mean, “Waitin’ on a Willis” sounds undeniably better

Received the jacket, and gotta say it's pretty wild how heavy duty it is. When I picked up the box on my porch I was like goddamn, this thing is a chonk.
Initial impressions: size L is good, almost a little big but I'm only wearing a tee at the moment. Nice to know I've got plenty of room for wearing a sweatshirt or sweater underneath. Getting a long seems like the right move — the sleeves are a bit long for my taste, but per responses to my previous query in this thread, that should shrink up as some creases start to form at the elbows. It feels like it's got so much wax in it, it's almost damp. I know that'll diminish, too.
Will post some pics at some point. Nice to have it arrive right when TX is getting hot, hehe.
