Ship John

Left pictured is Mikes tease. Middle is just a plain black n white filter put on a regular Kristofferson jacket with my iPhones own options. No special effects or editing. You can see the difference between the shades of grey.

And that’s Mikes tease on the left, and a regular Levi’s black denim jacket with black Sherpa lining that I put the same black n white filter on with my iphone. Put them next to each other and there is a pretty big resemblance..

I know it’s no proof or any significant information on what it’s actually is, but it at least shows Mikes new lining is probably a lot darker then the old yellow mouton.
My gut feeling said black with black, and my curiosity and I think it’s actually rather fun to speculate. Like a fun little guessing game, so I had to try the old black n white filter myself

Really digging this new shirt. Gave it a warm wash and hang dry to shrink it a little and I’m very happy with the fit

[mecken88]

@hgering27 top notch man!️

@hgering27 fit looks on point, looks like an amazing piece

It begins...
By "it" I of course mean another months-long wait that ends abruptly with every specimen selling out in a matter of minutes, if not seconds

[mecken88]

@anguirus with this, surely seconds️

My new Ship John plaid flannel has been stuck in the Swedish customs since 22 July, this usually don’t take this long, So hoping it will start moving soon️

@mecken88 Mike just announced that they don’t have enough fabric for the new model of the Kristofferson and that they would rerun the same one from last year in August. FYI, I know you were looking out for it

[mecken88]

@TheChef17 dude!! Just woke up to see this update! Best news ever for me! Dreams do come true haha!

Now just the hard part to manage to buy a pre order! Missed out on both previous releases.. so maybe third time a charm..??

Hoping hoping because this is truly my one grail jacket! Even above what my Scar Kakishibu chore shirt means too me
So I’m gonna do my best! So hoping for this one!🫶

Favorite new flannel (sorry IH) no wash or soak yet, but love the double fabrics on shoulders, and elbows down to cuffs. Great design, insane fabric.

[Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot]

Appears they chose the same fabric Rogue Territory used on a field shirt a few years back:

Had one of those, thought it looked familiar….

@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot

I did not get one, but I will say the Ship John one does look a little more interesting with the change of direction on the pockets and the shoulders.

[hgering27]

Yeah I definitely think it’s a lot nicer than the RGT version but maybe I’m biased. This really is a great shirt

[natefreezy]

I’m interested in trying something from Ship John and was looking at denim and sashiko Townes shirts that they posted will be releasing soon.

Just general question on how people like the shirts? Any notable differences compared to Japanese brands? And is there any general consensus on sizing compared to IH?

Ship John’s recent little tease on their instagram of the upcoming Kristofferson jackets comeback. Looks like a Black n white filter been added to keep stuff interesting and unknown.
From the pictures something in my guts say the jacket and lining is a different color.

What do you guys think? Anyone excited about this to be teased more?🫣

Looks like this new colourway isn’t happening now…..just the standard version

[torleif]

Good fit XL/L

[mecken88]

@Darth-fader yeah, and it’s great new for me haha! Been dreaming about the OG version ever since the first release. So hoping I will be able this time. Missed out on the past two releases.. so maybe third times a charm

[mecken88]

@torleif dude!!🤎🤎🤎

[mecken88]

This came today, I’m so stocked! Glad I sized up to a large. And would it shrink ever so slightly it wouldn’t matter either. So it fits me great!
A hell of a shirt for sure!️
