@Kasi I really like the broken twill one. Maybe more even than the sashiko.

Looking good boys

@Mizmazzle @Kasi Yea the broken twill is very nice in person! Not sure if I’m gonna soak mine or naturally wear it in for a while first.

[Mizmazzle]

@Danimal506 fun to have both hats to kinda play around with like that.

I just grabbed a broken twill one. Never had a ship John hat.

Just ordered the Langlitz Leathers x Ship John Goatskin Wills Jacket in tan.
Anyone got any experience with the Wills goat skin? Thickness, tannery, chrome or veg.
Guessing it will get nice rolls, but not the patina as the veg tanned cow hide Wills.

@torleif congrats on scoring one of them! I also preordered the black one. This is not a new leather and Langlitz has been using it for a very long time. I have a Langlitz jacket made out of the black goatskin. It's very comfortable brand new. It's light, but not too light, and easy to move around in.

The leather used is a tan leather. You will not see a drastic color change like you would with veg tan leather. It will pretty much stay the same color like any dyed leather, white, brown, etc.

@Danimal506
I just got this hat and am thinking about trying to shrink it down a bit. Would you say the hat shrank in height? The crown is definitely higher than my other SJ hats.

[Danimal506]

@Palmer Yes the crown shrank down. If you have one of their waxed hats, it almost fits closer to that after a hot soaking.

The leather patch also shrank a tiny bit. Just for a heads up.

I ended up removing the leather patch and after 2 weeks of wear (and hot soak)it's been beaten down to a normal size and is going to be my go-to for the foreseeable future

[Danimal506]

@GraemeE I was curious what it would look like without the patch. I like it!

[GraemeE]

@Danimal506 I kept it just in case I want to sew it back on after I abuse the indigo off the fabric after a few months

[Danimal506]

@GraemeE Good idea!

Cameo
arrived today.

[torleif]

@atm23 Thanks! And congrats to you too
I was hoping it would get a little darker, maybe if I use some leather wax.
Pros and cons compared to veg tanned leather. This will be more weather resistant on the cost of patina.
I noticed a design change, the hand pockets are now on the inside instead of the outside. Interesting.

[atm23]

@torleif yes the pocket design is something Langlitz came up with.

@atm23 Nice How do you feel about the change? Tones down the roughness a little bit.

@Mister_Brue Thanks
