Ship John
-
Dang, for me the shirt fits great!
But I’m 174cm = 5’9” and have a chest of 102cm = 40.1” circumference, my shirt is a Large.
For reference I’m a large in IH too, and my ship John shirts is always long on me, but I think that’s Mikes preferred fit.
But after I hot washed it on 40 degrees Celsius and used a low spincycles program and just hung dried, it turned out perfect.
Still ever so slightly “long” but it doesn’t look weird anymore. And chest, arms just turned out great. So the cut, and after the wash works for my body type I guess. One of my favorite shirts by far, if it would have been slightly shorter it would have been perfect.
I can wear it with a tshirt and it looks great. And I can even wear it over a thinner, regular hoodie and it doesn’t feel or look weird. So for me it’s the ultimate fit. It’s just the length that is my only complaint. But I know I’m also on the medium/shorter side. I know a couple of longer fellas that love the longer length. So that’s just down to preference I guess
But for me the hot wash made it much better!

And after this I also washed my SJ flannel plaid shirt and it turned out even more perfect. Similar is size but it shorten up even more. So I’m glad I washed that too

@northsouthdenimguy i did a hot soak, hot wash and a partial machine dry on mine and it shrunk considerably. the sleeves are still a little wide, but still completely wearable without looking off, at least on me.

Sorry All, I actually have to work sometimes…
although my wife says I never workI’m 6 feet tall, 220 pounds
It’s not that the arms are gigantic like I said I have 17 inch biceps. I just like the arms to be just a little more fitted. I don’t wear T-shirts under my denim shirts, just a wife pleaser.
I will probably just try to hot soak the arms and throw it in the dryer for an hour.
*** I’m just very particular on fit. iH, RRL and Indigofera seem to just fit me the way I like the best.
Other than the biceps, the shirt is spot on arm length, chest, shoulders, length and even the opening being slightly tapered fits just right.
It may just be one of those shirts that I need to wear more to get used to the slightly larger upper arm area. I think it measured like 9.5, IH are around nine for the largest ones.
I love the shirt. I just would like the arms to be a little skinnier.
-
Definitely a personal issue,the shirt is fantastic. Just trying to make it just right.
-
@northsouthdenimguy hows it fit otherwise? if you think you can afford to lose a little length and even less width, id say hot soak, warm wash and hang dry to see how it works out

Other than the biceps, the shirt is spot on arm length, chest, shoulders, body length etc…

@Salted-Racer it’s been an emotional rollercoaster for me for sure
always loved the denim/sherpa jackets since I was a teenager. And dove deep into a SJ fanboy phase since I found about them a few years back
So when Mike first teased about the jacket with the natural sheepskin lining, feeling like a 2.0 upgraded deluxe jacket! I knew instantly it was a jacket I someday needed to own. So iv tried all three releases, ready, Apple Pay ready quicker then lucky Luke (it felt like) but with no success on either of the releases
I mean it’s like three years yearning for the same jacket over and over!
So I hope my luck will change on this fourth release

@northsouthdenimguy how heavy is the fabric? Sleeves are relatively easy to tailor, if the material isn't too heavy. I just had my local guy tailor the arms on a midweight shirt that was too big in the upper arm and it was done in a couple of hours for little cost.
-
It’s 13oz.
I hot soaked the arms a couple times last night and threw it in the dryer. We’ll see how it fits later today. Yesterday before soaking I tried on with a T-shirt and it fits and feels better through the upper arm area. I just typically don’t wear a T-shirt underneath shirts like this.
If I can’t get the arms to shrink more I will probably will have them tailored as if it doesn’t fit just right, I won’t reach for it.
More than likely, I’ll take it to Guilty Party there shortening up the sleeves on my 178 so I’m sure they can also do this…

@mecken88 Striking out on drops is such a bummer, heartbreaking even. I remember when the decade dropped people were claiming it was gone within a minute. I don't know if this works or its just good voodoo placebo effect buuuut, what I did prior to it releasing was add a leather coaster to the cart $8 and go through the checkout process right till the end so it saved my info, backed out and waited for the wills drop, added to cart and checked out (with the coaster still in there). They said it wouldn't matter but, hey I got my wills at the end of the day!
Looking at it now however it seems to have my shop info pre saved not sure if that's always been a thing but shop pay is two clicks, every second counts lol.
-
@Gianny-Boy I use shop pay as well and also have my credit card number saved to paste, as a back up just in case.
-
@Denimhead-0 paste is genius im gonna copy that!
-
sliders are up
-
195 for brass
625 for silverBrass just feels so right for SJ
-
Snagged a brass one.
-
Grabbed a brass as well, I wonder how different it will be vs a Belt Loop Buddy
-
Same same, although as I look at these steel buttons on my IH gear the silver seems very complimentary, c'est la vie!
Excited for ideal placements with the slider, I find I like it somewhere between the 10-11oclock position.
-
Congrats on the brass, for those that snag one!
Iv wanted that for years and now with a 2.0 upgrade SJ logo it’s such a cool piece!But I may have to pass on this just because my priorities changed after the leak of another run on the Kristofferson.
It really bugs me because Iv wanted the brass ez slider for so long. But I want the Kristofferson even more. And I don’t wanna jeopardize the funds by impulse buying too many other things before🫣
But for those that buys the brass, I envy you🥰🫶
And hope you post some pictures of it so I can feed of your hype haha!
