@Mizmazzle If you’re talking about the high crown of the hat, yes it does have the typical Ship John high crown. I think it will settle a bit over time. But I’ve personally grown used to the way these hats fit.
Just tried the unwashed broken twill on and yes they’re essentially the same hat. But the BT is a thicker fabric and sits a bit taller on my head
-
@Danimal506 good info homie. Thx!!
-
-
@Danimal506 the corduroy one looks perfect. I had to soak my BT one twice to make it fit my peanut head.
-
-
@wjw Yes the bills are sturdy. Even after a couple hot water soaks, they can be molded. I prefer mine a bit flat
-
@Danimal506 nice I went with the yellow cord and really dig it.
-
It’s here and it’s awesome. Just as good as I had expected after everything I’ve read about them. This is a 3xl regular fits me well, some extra volume in the body but I wanted to make sure I could wear a hoody or heavyweight shirt under it
-
Excellent. Other than the leather patch what are the special features of the Decade Edition?
-
@chadstone30 I think just the inside patch also otherwise I believe it’s the same but anyone feel free to correct me
-
Sweet! Mine is so old it’s not even lined on the inside..
-
@Brock gonna try to start wearing as much as I can before it gets too warm out
-
My Decade Wills, been wearing as much as possible before it gets too hot out

Seeing that sashiko fabric now has me feverishly searching for a shirt. That's a killer garmnet.
-
@hgering27 killing it
-
@Bobcat-Sig yeah I have literally been wearing the sashiko as much as possible and the color change and feel has just gotten so good. I really hope theres another run because I would love to get a backup...
-
@hgering27 No kidding! I somehow missed the launch of that shirt. I'm local to Ship John and I've ridden dirt bike with Mike a few times. That dude is exactly as he is in the photos. He even rides in his own denim. Good dude.
Sometimes I get their newsletters and sometimes I don't. But now I need (want?) that shirt.
-
@Bobcat-Sig I asked Mike in an Instagram Live once why the newsletters stopped. He said he got busy and quit doing them, which is a bummer because I missed a couple of items that I would have liked to pick up. Now I check the SJ instagram pretty regularly to try to keep up on what's coming out when.
-
@Bobcat-Sig yeah this one was a preorder way back, but then they had some release on the website at a later date, but yeah i usually just keep an eye on the instagram i dont really recall getting newsletters either

Makes sense, fellas. I thought that maybe the emails were inadvertently headed to the spam folder. It's a bummer though; I'm no longer on the ol' IG. A social media purge nearly 10 years ago did wonders for my disposition and mental health. But that means I'm reliant on old-school email or manually checking with brands and retailers. So it goes, I guess.
I'll stop into the Ship John shop and bug Mike about it.
