Ship John

@Bobcat-Sig hmm yeah possibly an older version, but I have only seen those soles on Mister Lou's. Maybe the earlier models used the Dr Sole
-
@hgering27 yah, that's what has me a bit confused. While the boots in question are the right size, I'm concerned that they are on the Mr Lou last, making it a difficult proposition to acquire, not knowing if they are the 7500 or not. I'll keep digging.
-
Also, there’s always a possibility with preowned boots they’ve been resoled.
I’m guilty of doing a lot of funky things to boots over the years. I’ve gone from a mini ripple 360 stitch to dainite with a 270 stitch. Was not a very cost-effective change
this was on a Viberg service boot -
@northsouthdenimguy I love such chicanery, even with boots.
Turns out the boots in question were/are a Ship John Derroll. They’re stamped with a ‘23 year code, so maybe Mike had them with a Dr Sole before moving to the current V-Bar. I’ll confirm with Chris at Wesco when I pick up my reworked horsehide engineers in a few weeks.
The pictured Derrolls show up next week. I’m stoked. I’ll post when they land.

Oops read this the other day and forgot to come back to it. Keep us posted once you get them!
I’m headed to stitchdown Boot Camp this week more than likely going to take the Derroll boot along with one other for the long four-day weekend. I really like that boot, you can dress it up or dress it down.
-
@northsouthdenimguy All good! I'm excited to see if my flyer pays off. We'll know soon.
-
@Crease Looks like a great fit, and boy it’ll only get better.
-
Thanks! Definitely need to wear it more, just too many jackets in the rotation! Such problems...
-
Curious if anyone who hit on the black sashiko had gotten any shipping info yet. I know it said by end of November but I’m eagerly awaiting the email
-
Nope. I just emailed them yesterday, because it said fulfilled when I looked at my order. They said that was just housekeeping for their own records and that they had not sent any final invoices and that the shirts were not complete yet. I was worried I had missed the final payment email.
-
Looking forward to pairing it with the all black Wills I was lucky enough to snag last year. Starting to show a little breaking in in the elbows and the shoulders. As you can tell from the chair I put it on and my hat, it is not really a black but a dark grey. Probably darker than the battleship gray, but not a true black in my opinion.
-
Anybody heard when the black Sashiko is landing? I thought I remember November but I know it can push out for sure.
-
@northsouthdenimguy Not really an answer on when they will ship, but a couple of post up I said I had emailed them and they told me they haven't sent final invoices and the shirts are not complete yet. But you are correct in that it says delivery by end of November at the latest on the product page.
-
Thanks! thought one of you might have some inside info…
-
@northsouthdenimguy for what it’s worth, they might have some in stock in the shop if you’re ever in Portland. I was shocked to find a blue one in my size when I was out there this time last year for a tattoo
-
I was able to snag one for the pre-order… same with the Kristofferson and the indigo townes. I had a good little run there.
@selveldgesteps
-
@northsouthdenimguy so jealous and happy for you at the same time about the Kristofferson jacket
Really looking forward when people start getting theirs and seeing some fit pics here in the group so I can live through your happiness! And maybe some day I can join you🥰
-
Really interested in getting it seeing how it fits. I’m not a big jacket guy so it always takes me a little bit of getting used to like with my N1 felt like it was gigantic until it settled down a little bit.
