@XPender this was helpful. I just scored a Large, but the medium measurements would’ve been ideal. I’m usually a large in IH western shirts. Did you do pre and post measurements?

[bluemantra]

@mecken88 that’s great! I’ve been looking at the 22.5 oz. Measurements look similar to the 666.

[XPender]

@bluemantra No I didn't do any measurements, so you have to look in the images and try to estimate how much skrinkage you can get out of it. I think with a hot wash and tumble, I pretty much got as much as possible.

@PXE amazing, looks so good!

[mecken88]

@bluemantra yeah, the 666 has slightly lower rise, but other then that they are very similar. And the moleskin details are amazing.

Brand new heavy denim can sometimes be rough on the hands in the beginning putting them in and out.
But because the front pockets not just moleskin as pocket material, they have sewed an extra pice of moleskin just on the inside edge with the “fury” side up. So they are very comfortable right from the start. I can try to take a photo.

@bluemantra
Best I could fix, but it’s comfy!

[bluemantra]

@XPender Did you take your usual iron heart size?

Got my denim wills all put back together thanks to @GraemeE

[XPender]

@bluemantra No I sized one down. I have a medium, and I'm usually large in IH western UHF

@mecken88 Have these stretched out in the waist for you?

[mecken88]

@bluemantra yes actually a little.
I was first going to order size 34 but they were out of stock so a took a leap of faith and ordered the 33. Had never tried a high rise jeans so didn’t know what to expect. My old jeans were low rise and sat more on the hips than my waist. So I knew I would probably need smaller but don’t know how much.

But I’m glad I chose the smaller, the 34 would have been too big. The 33 have stretched just a tad in the waist and fits perfect now with a belt.
I could probably have squeezed into a size 32 and stretched so I wouldn’t need a belt.
But I guess the 33 is perfect for me.

But measurements is always key.

Last couple of days with the kristofferson, also snagged a brown townes shirt (first pic) that works well with it

@PXE dream jacket!

[Plant Life]

I may be a lone voice in the wilderness on this but...just curious if anyone else here finds the Wills Jacket to be unwearable? It's a great jacket, well made, looks nice but I think it's really uncomfortable. Too damn rigid. Plus the sizing runs small so it doesn't allow for much movement or layering. I admire SJ and their business but with all the hype and praise around the Wills jacket Im wondering if there's anyone else who feels this way. I think it would be a much better jacket if it weren't so thick ( And had a blanket lining ).
