Ship John

[denami]

@northsouthdenimguy no worries! I’ve always had good luck with Apple Pay even on high demand releases but the flannel and this release just weren’t quick enough. The brand continues to gain popularity and I think I need to change my strategy, I’m really interested in a few of the upcoming releases.

@mecken88 haha yea same experience with Apple Pay and the brief confirmation, likely a split second too slow for us for whatever reason. I’m not going for the Patton shirt releasing today but I think I’ll check out the shop pay app during the release to see what it’s like.

I used shop pay too. I think it helps if you’re logged in, have everything dialed into shop pay and also have something else in the cart.. I had a Steinbeck notebook sleeve in my cart when I added the jacket and it worked.. I’ve done that on some previous drops too and I’ve never missed one. I don’t know if that’s actually a thing or pure coincidence

@Brock do you use Shop Pay option on the actual SJ site like just instead of Apple Pay.

Or do you use the actual Shop Pay app and navigate through to ship John within the app and buy the items with the app?

Just curious on the more specific🫶

@mecken88 i know you werent asking me, but just to chime in, i just use the shop pay in the checkout on their website and never had any issues getting through, the biggest variable ive noticed is timing the refresh with the loading of the items

[Brock]

I use the option at checkout on their website also

Anyone have advice on ship John sizing? I’m an XL in everything iron heart but it feels like ironheart measurements mostly fall right in the middle of L and XL for ship john.

[mecken88]

@paulmtg I would say the standard boring answering is still to follow the individual size charts of every product, just like Iron heart.
Some SJ stuff fits snug, some fits loose.

So in Iron heart I’m a pretty consistent size Large. But in SJ I pend between Medium and Large depending on that individual garment.
All comes down to personal preference how you want the specific garment to fit your body time.

So no one answers, is the right answer🫶

@mecken88 thanks for the response! Did your SJ shirts shrink much?

@mecken88 also to chime in on this, if you use the shop app it tends to charge you taxes. Going through the shop option on the website (ship John’s) will save you a few bucks. This is my personal experience.

@paulmtg chiming in on this, it depends on which shirts and how you wash them. I have cooked my sashiko to get as much shrink out as possible, and it has absolutely shrunk a good amount. a few of the other shirts i have were a little big when i first got, so i did a warm soak/wash and depending on the material theyre is definitely some shrinkage, some moreso than others

[mecken88]

@paulmtg never washed my newest flannel, haven’t had time to use it that much. But the rest is washed and hasn’t shrink anything.

But iv washed them cold, gently so nothing too extreme that would enhance shrinkage.
