I knew it had been a while
I put it in boiling water upside down a couple times to shrink it a bit and just never wore it… I’m really starting to like it. Wore it all day yesterday and wearing it today. -
@northsouthdenimguy It’s a bit warm in summer, great for this time of year.
-
@mecken88 I have one of the V1 broken twill Ramblin jackets and it’s my all time favorite SJ piece (along with my Sashiko Townes shirt). Mike at SJ describes the Ramblin as their version of the traditional trucker jacket in terms of fit and general proportions. The thing I like the most is the completely unique pocket layout.
-
@SilentMikal ah that’s cool! I hope to own the denim version too some day
I actually own the waxed version and it’s one of my favorite jacket! And yes the pocket layout it’s such a unique and awesome idea for sure! Like mixing a trucker with a chore coat, best of both worlds all in my great package!
Hoping it will be released again, iv heard Mike has said it will. Even that it would have been this year. But that’s a few months ago and haven’t heard anything new about it. So I check in, keeping my eye alert and hoping it’s on the horizon

@Danimal506 that's the question indeed
I don't have one figured out yet
To date I have just soaked it a few times to get rid of surface dirt
-
@GraemeE Interesting how it ended up that color. My plan for washing was a soak with light detergent and a light scrub.
-
Looks like i foretold my own fate a while back
-
@GraemeE Hahaha Called it!

@GraemeE
put it in a gallon ziplock bag, run some water in, put a tiny dab of whatever soap/detergent you want, zip it tight with a little air inside, and shake the hell out it.
pop the zip open a little, pour the dirty water out, run some clean water in, zip it back up and shake the hell out of it, rinse and repeat until the water being drained is running cleanthat’s what I’ve done with my hats in the past, it’s easy as all get out and works fine for me

@SourPower I like this idea, do you put laundry detergent in or just a regular dishwasher tab?
-
I've done it, and just used a dishwasher tab. I used one of these hat cleaning frames to keep the shape. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/389167147695?_skw=hat+washer&itmmeta=01KBPQSBDZY9XFKDZR3J2KS239&hash=item5a9c2b6aaf:g:jvgAAeSwKJxpBJvo&itmprp=enc%3AAQAKAAAA4IUNi59bckQcV2ImusJGAkFLXyr21Q8uWm7IEVoKS%2FGuyXd4Df1BPj3s7NkVXQ7zZySreSLy2Cqkh3XBaFN%2BEWH9UFN3E4YA1CqNoVtSll%2BfI0tIWEzl95XvG82cL2vZNlWbZG%2FirYuMz9d11Va0g7jlkR7LITfbvPgvtyLBOU4E6vrM1JhbCRaO6UL821I1%2BPSFIoJomXHrvz2aWEJbr5kRoClRLpYy62NONHkrz4ckCT9t9DZ6fRT0J1FkLBrO1HjRNdtfqak0B0siivxVcAJCOHBkOadCm%2BtUT8cAbsNq|tkp%3ABk9SR6K35dfdZg

@anguirus @Danimal506 @DeeDee85 @NickD @SourPower
Thanks guys
-
That thing is looking rad without the badge @GraemeE mine is definitely slightly green too…
-
I put in a pre order for some Derroll Boots last month with the idea I would have at least 6 months to save up and just got an email to pay up the remainder because they are done already. Well, Merry Christmas indeed!! That's a quick Wesco turnaround.
Settle down easy......
-
@SourPower said in Ship John:
@GraemeE may sound crazy, but the dishwasher works great for cleaning hats. Otherwise I just thoroughly use the kitchen sink sprayer.
Works everytime
-
@Heritage_Guy I waited 16 months for mine
worth the wait though🥰Hope you will love yours!🫶

Little update on the Kristofferson. Start of my first full season with this, getting near daily wear in the frigid Boston winter and it's performing as great as I hoped it would.
Starting to see some fades and signs of wear across the denim as well as the brass and leather bits. The wool itself is as tough as the rest of the jacket, no pilling, loose strands, or balding. (Discoloration of the wool in the second picture is a shadow). Hoping to be able to pair this thing with those work pants Mike has been teasing for a while!I'm so jealous of those of you with your sashiko hats, lost mine while abroad last year, and I miss it every day!
