@rewseph nice! Is that a denim towns shirt too?
-
@Brock thanks dude! yes sir, everything is ship john except the beanie is from RCC.
-
Nice. Are you a portlander too?
-
@Brock used to be but now i’m out in the chicago area
-
Not much evo on my broken twill…though I have grown to like the hat more as the denim has relaxed.
Maybe I’ll break out/ in my sashiko version at some point. Anyone got some close up evo shots of theirs to share?
In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...
-
@Mizmazzle I wear my Sashiko at home everyday. I’ll try to post some daylight pics tomorrow. It’s got a little bit of evo going.
That broken twill is looking real nice!!! I have not touched mine yet. What has been done to yours, as far as washing and wearing?

@Mizmazzle how did you get yours to be not as tall? That’s why mine hasn’t gotten much wear.
-
@Danimal506 @bluemantra
I soaked mine in near boiling water for a few minutes then set it out in the sun to dry. It was still a bit tall for my liking so I soaked it in near boiling water again a couple weeks after the first time.I’ve worn it hiking and around town etc on days I wanted to wear a hat. Probably 2-3 times a week.
I wasn’t loving it for quite a while. But it’s relaxed and taken some shape and I’m really digging it now.
-
Speaking of evolution, been wearing my Sashiko ori almost daily. Just did a hot wash and dry to try to get a little more shrink out of it and can start to see some of the fading. Also wearing the ship John lug sole wesco
-
@Mizmazzle I got to take some sunlight pictures today. I think I may wash it soon because I’ve been using it quite a bit lately and it’s getting hot out. And that’ll help get some more evo going.
-
@Danimal506 damn! That looks dope as hell. I’ve been on the fence about letting mine go. Your pics have fully changed my mind.
Did you soak it when you got it?
-
@Mizmazzle Yea I like it so much I’m thinking about looking for a backup! I did a warm soak initially, then a hot soak to really shrink it down. It shrunk the leather patch a little more than I’d hoped, sort of annoyed me at first. But I’ve gotten used to that. It’s really taken shape to my head too. I love the soft hand of the Sashiko and the texture. It’s a really unique fabric, especially for a hat.
It is a bit warm, so I bought one of their new black corduroy mesh back hats for the summer. -
@Danimal506 good info brother man. Thinking I’ll beat the shit out of my BT version and use it for fishing and backpacking etc. Maybe save the sashiko for a nicer, cleaner hat I can use when I want a cleaner presentation.
-
@Mizmazzle I’m a daily hat wearer. Ship Johns cut and pattern and fabrics have grown to become my favorite hats over the years.
I love the brass cap and holes. I haven’t had any issues with the snap back falling apart and the bill holds strength. I just wish they would repeat a pattern for the ones I missed. But every hat is one and done.

I missed the drop on this Good Art x Ship John Model 10AASJ bracelet back in the fall. It has three brass links. Not that it mattered since it was a limited edition of 25 pieces and apparently sold out instantaneously. Been kind of obsessed with it ever since. Found one by accident on eBay when looking at regular Model 10 bracelets. Crazy markup but it was the right size. Couldn't pass it up even though I could buy two regular Model 10s, or a Tudor, for the same money. No regrets. I already have a blue FXD. And pretty sure no one on Earth wears two Model 10s at the same time. Except maybe Maradona.
-
@chadstone30 Super cool! I think @Kasi might have Maradona beat when it comes to GAH though haha
