You’re spot on with all your points.
I know we are going to beat this to death, but I had already typed something up, so I am going to post it and leave it at that. You really hit it on the head about ignoring it. So many people do that in business, or at least in my line of work.
If I take myself out of not really caring, I can see the other side of it.
At the very least, I think it would be nice to get an update every 30 days on anything that has passed its original completion timeframe.
Something simple like, “We told you we are working through the smaller sizes and expect to start XL, XXL, and XXXL by this date.” Then when that date passes and they have not started, maybe another update. I do not think that is asking too much.
Also, for as small of a ship as SJ is, Mike certainly knows exactly what is going on and could communicate in that way. He chooses not to, and you are expected to like it.
All that being said, that is part of the quirks and specialness of SJ.

Needs a cold soak but fits and feels very nice
Edit: looks like a dress shirt in this pic

@John1968-75 good looking out, thanks! Picked me up some hats!

Instagram promises some good news for people waiting for preorders ''soon''.
I actually went and emailed them politely suggesting if they could do the drops at some time that works for us poor euros so it's not at 2am on a weekday (unless they announce them). No harm trying right?

@hgering27 Congrats dude! Man I hope mine comes soon too

The stealth removal of the wagoner briefcase on the site is heartbreaking, was waiting on that to comeback in stock for a long while now. Sent an email hope its an oversight but seeing the dufflebag back in stock the odds are low. Talked to one of the reps in store sometime last year and he believed it would be back "soon" oh well things change I suppose.
Anyone got reccs on a similar size/feel for a briefcase? looking for around the same price point. Filson 24 hour / rugged twill rather avoid, seems to not be up to par these days.

@Gianny-Boy It may be that they are just making some minor adjustments to the design. For instance, I know they are currently making more Waylon packs under a slightly new design and, in the meantime, they removed the Waylon pack from the website. So I bet the brief case will more likely than not be back sometime as well

Just paid my final invoice for the black Sashiko Ori. Looking forward to this one.
I do wish Ship John, and some others would just bake in the shipping cost to the price of the garment or the boot or the whatever it is. Just charge me $445 from the get-go, split into two or whatever. He’s still going sell them all out in minutes.

2XL, should be perfect if the measurements are consistent with the sizing chart. Will cold soak it tighten it up a bit maybe warm if needed. That 27.25 chest measurements on the 3xl is to big for me.
-
@MrJay Oh man that would be so sick, thanks for that information, adding little more pep to my step today.
-
Its here…
Really nice and softer than I thought it would be. Pretty good pre-soak fit, currently have it soaking in barely warm water. I think it’ll take out the right amount.

@northsouthdenimguy looks great man. Mine just came. I did a 40 minute hot soak. Now it’s in the wash on hot and then I’ll machine dry it and I think it should fit just like my indigo which would be perfect
-
Nice! Looks great
Yeah, we’ll see how this goes. I don’t really need to do much, just trying to tighten it up a bit. If the warm soap doesn’t work, then I’ll crank it up a notch, but I don’t think I’ll need to fully dry it. Maybe I’ll wait until it’s about 80 to 90 percent dry and then throw it in the dryer.
The length is probably the main thing that needs to shrink.

Sashiko’s look
A little Sj Gah

The hatchet is so dope!
