@northsouthdenimguy I was SO excited, and then saw the second email and was ready to pay...

@concretor one of the few i've seen that are really worn.

Ship John x Wesco Derroll Engineers have landed. I put down the deposit in October and here they are before Christmas! I was expecting spring or early summer.
Definitely going into heavy rotation and just wanted to post some pictures of the 'before'. I have a pair of White's engineers and these feel a little finer and more substantial. I'll post some patina pics going forward. -
@Heritage_Guy You’re going to love em.

I’ve had two version one Wills jackets and they are extremely well made, but I sold them. I personally don’t like that they don’t have any vent holes in the arm pits, waxed jackets can be like wearing a plastic rain coat at times, and ventilation is needed IMHO. I recently purchased a coated N1 from IH and saw that they have done this which I think is brilliant!
I realize the design limitation with the version one Wills for the inside pocket, but it was too small and useless really. I see they have corrected this with the addition of a liner in the version two, but the liner just increases the lack of ventilation IMHO. I had a waxed rambler with a liner and it was without ventilation as well, Sold that also. SJ is a great company, not knocking them as I have leather products made by them which are awesome, Wills are just not my cup of tea. -
Mike put out that they're making a Denim Wills jacket in January. Not sure how durable it will compare to the typical Wills, but I imagine the fading on it will be crazy!

@Heritage_Guy 3 month turnaround on your Derroll's? I put my deposit down end of November, figuring I wouldn't see them until next fall! Now hoping I am on a similar timeline. Such a great looking boot.
-
I really wasn't expecting them before summer so an extra Christmas gift for me was great! Mike must have his own track with Wesco.
-
@TheChef17 I really want to try and snag one of these......been wanting one for ages!
-
Pictures from SJ Facebook, it looks cool! Probably around 15oz, seems to be a favorite weight for Mike. And probably have amazing fade potential like most of their denim choices!
I’m leaning towards the denim Ramblin instead because I’m a shorter dude it just fits my body type a whole lot better.
So hoping that’s on the horizon too
