yeah im a 3xl in the stripe, moleskin, and sashiko, granted on the sashiko ive tried to get as much shrink out as possible with hot washes/soaks. but then in the newer short sleeve they released i got a 2xl, and it fits really well, but a bit more fitted
-
Sizing chart is up y’all

Looks like size Large is more similar to my green moleskin Jerry shirt and Sidewinder linen shirt in medium. This new flannel seems to be closest to the Patton shirt that looks slightly more narrow.
So if I want a similar fit to my two shirts, I think going with size large on this flannel would be the best choice for me.

There’s something about the mismatched yokes and pockets that I can’t get over. That and the leeeeeeeength lol.
-
@Mizmazzle that was exactly my first thought when i saw a picture on instagram
-
@mecken88 I snagged the 3xl, after going back and forth about 2xl/3xl i decided id rather it fit a little more relaxed than too tight, and worst case I will hot wash/dry to get a little more shrink out of it. hyped to have gotten one after waiting months since he started teasing this one
-
I was trying to snag a small but it sold out as I checked out, somehow I was able to grab a medium right after though. I’m usually in between small/medium in their fits and was hoping to avoid intentionally shrinking it but happy to get one…I've been waiting for this release for a while.
-
@hgering27 same for me, I went back and forth between medium or large. But finally decided on the larger option. So I managed to buy a size Large!
@denami hope you’ll end up loving the fit!
the Patton shirt is a slightly more narrow fit, then some of their other shirts if you compare their size charts. So I guess it’s gonna be great. Rooting for you. I have also been excited since Mike made the first teaser appearance on a instagram story. So now a few months later I’m glad I managed to buy one too!

Does anyone know if the teal colorway flannel released yet or was this an in store purchase only?

Do you have a picture of that one?
-
@flannel-slut i think mike said that was an in-store only colorway.
-
@flannel-slut that was in store only I believe.
@mecken88 thanks! All my others are Townes so I went back and forth between small and medium, I’m sure it will work out well

Hello,
I’m super curious if any one in this group owns a Kristofferson jacket and what’s your take on it?It’s become a grail jacket of mine, iv tried and been unsuccessful on both releases of the jacket. Had it in my cart, Apple Pay ready but others was faster.
Mike has teased that more will be made this year and I’m gonna try me best again, maybe third time is the charmLatest release was sold at July 2024, so I had some hopes maybe it’s close now. But now one knows. It just sparked some excitement and I hyped myself up again about it. So I became wondering maybe people in this group owns one and have a genuine take on how they like the jacket..?
Oh well, would be a fun read if any one does, and wanted to share. Hope everyone have a great summer and remember to use sunscreen or lots of denim protection

Re the Kristofferson: There is a new color coming out this year (but I’m unclear whether they will offer it both in denim, and the other color, which I suspect to be black. To be clear, I don’t have any proof that it will be black, but the staff did confirm a new color when I visited the ship john store a few months back).
With regards to the jacket (with the caveat that I have tried a friend’s, but decided against buying one myself), it is essentially a Dehen product. I do think that the lining is truly superb. The denim is not as interesting as Iron Heart (in my opinion). The jacket itself is very warm, and consistent with the usual Ship John sizing patterns (which I think are a little less forgiving than other companies).
Overall, if you live in a particularly cold environment or run cold, and the jacket fits you, it’ll be a superb purchase. If not, you may find that it is just sitting in your closet.
Edir: forgot to add, I don’t believe that you can wash this piece like you can with the 17oz 526-SL with the polyester lining. If you would like to get a close approximation of what the material feels like, try to find this Dehen N1, which I believe has the same broken twill denim and mouton lining as the Kristerofferson:

@Buckeye ah thanks for a great read. I live in Sweden and our winter is pretty rough and cold. So a warm jacket is necessary, and iv tried different warm jackets from the most extreme once to even layering summer jackets.
So the Kristofferson I believe would be an amazing jacket for me! And if they don’t change the sizing, or pattern I would probably be a size Large in them. I have no chance to try, look or feel any Dehen products in Sweden unfortunately. We one store, way to far away from where I live and they only have some beanie and a cardigan in store. But iv seen pictures of the N1 your speaking of:)
If they change the color I both get excited and nervous, Iv wanted the regular Kristofferson since it got first teased. Tried to buy it both times it’s been released but failed when Apple Pay has been buffering
So I’m afraid of they would change it too much it may become something I’m not as excited for, but I understand it’s part of this game. Stuff often changes it part of it all. Best would be to offer it in more than one color, maybe both the regular and one new..? No one will know until we all know.
It was a great read and I appreciate you taking your time. I’m really curious and look forward to any update from Ship John on the Kristofferson jacket. And hopefully it’s gonna be an amazing addition like most of their stuff is!

Just a heads up to anyone who purchased the Flannel from Ship John that recently dropped.
I received mine, and I normally just throw everything new in the wash for sanitary purposes. I didn't take measurements, but before the wash, it was a little big on me wearing my normal Ship John size. I washed on cold but dried in the dryer on normal not thinking much of it. The flannel shrunk a bit a across the board, nothing major and fits a lot better/normal to my size in most areas, however the sleeve length shrunk on me too much. I went from the sleeves over my wrist to fitting about two watches on my wrist between the sleeve and my hand and it looks a little goofy on me now.
Sorry if any of this is hard to follow, I'm not the most technical
and could be a isolated event. But short story is, it seems like the sleeve length on this guy will shrink a significant amount if thrown in the dryer on regular. Might be best to hang dry this one.
