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

[worn2fade]

@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.

A few new pictures of my Sashiko Ori shirt

Drove through Portland yesterday and stopped at Ship John and met Mike Elias and chatted with him for a bit and bought a couple things. He is a really cool dude and it really cemented my appreciation for him and his brand. It was great that they had some sample Wills Jackets on display too, was able to try them all on. Thought I'd be a medium but the large was definitely the right size

Anyone else get a phishing email from the Ship John account? I received two of them tonight. The email address is legit, but I didn’t order anything and am not going to reply to the email. I reached out to them through instagram to give them a heads up.

@jdwaid I’d reach out to Ship John in a separate email and let them know that there’s some scam emails going around.

I was able to snag a Townes Black Sashiko-Ori, anybody else get one?

Somebody told me they were gone in 45 seconds or less

[hgering27]

@northsouthdenimguy nice, I was able to get one as well, IMO these seemed to go faster than the Kristofferson

[catdad1]

@northsouthdenimguy I was mid conversation at work when my reminder went off at 3, logged on less than a minute later and size XL was gone.

[northsouthdenimguy]

@hgering27

Yes, crazy fast. Congrats.

[northsouthdenimguy]

@catdad1

Looks like you have to be on right before and keep refreshing just to have a shot

[Darth-fader]

I tried - I failed

I was able to get one. I'm a bit concerned on size at the moment but glad to score. I didn't see how long they took to sell out. I was operating under the assumption I had seconds and I've gotten good at drops like this from the EDC community.

@Blanco What's an "EDC?"

@chadstone30 said in Ship John:

@Blanco What's an "EDC?"

Everyday Carry. It's basically a hobbyist community of people who use and collect pocket stuff. Lots of times they come from very small companies or individuals and the drops sell out in seconds or minutes.

[chadstone30]

@Blanco Interesting. What's your favorite recent pickup, if you don't mind sharing. I'm curious, even though a new hobby is the last thing I need...

[mecken88]

@catdad1 they sold out in less then 10 seconds. And specific sizes XL wasn’t sold out

Preorder is not limited to a specific size, like a normal release when all garment is premade before release.
This particular release was a pre order, and the shirts will be done around November.
So if all sold preorders slots would have been size Large, they would only make larges.

So all 150 preorder slots, was sold out is less then 10 seconds. Like most Ship John releases these days‍️

@mecken88 Good for Mike. I'm sure there are 10,000 small businesses that would kill for the legion of rabid customers that he's got.
