@selvedgeosaurus that's a fantastic shirt! Nicely done, sir!

[Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot]

@Paul9221 thanks, man! My first SJ piece, very pleased with it.

got my confirmation email today!! I'm 6'3 200 and going with L-tall for layering

So how soft do the Wills jackets actually get after some good usage? Obviously it's extremely stiff new, and I know it'll break in but can anyone tell me if they get "soft" and comfortable? It's almost hard to imagine considering how thick and rigid that material is. I've got some well worn waxed jacket from other brands that are soft but they aren't as thick as the Wills.

Yo my V2 Ship John jacket is already in production! It was not due until August 2024. I was reading their email newsletter and went to check my number. Turns out I missed an email from September 7 saying mine was ready and they would not start the jacket until I confirmed. Sweating bullets at this point, I called them. The dude was super chill and said I did not lose my spot in line. An invoice will be sent today or tomorrow. Phew!

I ended up selling my V1 as it felt I was just a tad too big. Hopefully the V2 with a size down will be perfect from XXL to XL. The guy on the phone said it would likely work out fine. Stoked!

@Oaktavia outstanding. Post when you get it…I’ve always been intrigued by these

[Oaktavia]

@SKT I really could not believe my eyes when I saw the email was from last month. So happy they picked up when I called. They said November-ish it'll be shipped. Made my freakin' day man.

@Oaktavia wowzers dude!! That’s quite a bit earlier!! And means you get to rock that thing this season!!!

Mine is due in 2025 at some point. I should go find my keychain…

[Oaktavia]

@Mizmazzle I just went to look for mine and can't find it

[Mizmazzle]

@Oaktavia hope it turns up for ya! Good news is, you won’t be “Waitin’ on a Wills” much longer.

[Mizmazzle]

Hey Stevie @Oaktavia do you remember your order group? I’m G38-11. Says 2025 delivery only. Curious how close in group order we are

[Oaktavia]

@Mizmazzle Mine is G30-02 so you might not be that far behind. Like I said, mine is 11 months early. Totally threw me off. Just paid my second half this morning, it was $313 total.

[Tmulltuous]

G31 and I got the email about mine this week. Didn't ask when I should expect it but would expect December-ish. Tracks with them being 10-11 months ahead of schedule.

[Oaktavia]

@Tmulltuous Awesome to hear, I was told November for mine so that adds up.

[flannel slut]

these posts reminded me that I have one due soonish too. Checked in with Amanda not too long ago and lo and behold, I was bumped up the line and mines is ready for the needle as well! (I somehow missed the final payment email) fistbumps to y'alls recent chatter

[Crease]

Finally able to use this now that it’s getting cooler. Still so far from broken in!

[Mizmazzle]

@Crease from the beaches of France to the bleachers of….Colorado?

[Oaktavia]

@flannel-slut I think we may have missed them due to the sender name being "customer service" which is easily overlooked instead if their usual Ship John sender name (the highlighted part are my search results).

[Oaktavia]

@Crease lookin suave my dude

I’m G42, ordered last December and the quoted time was August of 2025. I’ll be very pleased if it’s a year or so early. I managed to snag a seconds of the Ramblin vest they had on sale months ago, it’s inanely well built and I honesty can’t find anything that would make it a seconds.

I’m really hoping Mike pulls through with the Sashiko, I’d pay good money for one.
