2XL

[FlavourFade]

Can't say how disapointed I am, had the XL in the cart, sold out while payment was processing. That's so frustrating. Can't even be excited for the Guthries I preordered anymore

@Northman
Done in less than 2 minutes.

@Heritage_Guy said in Ship John:

Hell yeah got my 2xl! This drop gave me the same juice as a Supreme box logo drop 10 years ago.

Hahahaha you just triggered some memories dude. I was never able to snag a box logo though, them damn bots always got me.

[Chibs]

Was in a parking garage on the way to dinner. Oh well..

[Jord]

@worn2fade The day this happens here, we're cooked

[Blanco]

Ah damn I was distracted looking at a purchase from another hobby and missed the drop. Oh well I don't think I can fade everything I have effectively anyway. Problem is you never know when the next one will be.

[worn2fade]

@Jord dude no freaking joke. All we can do is pray resellers don’t touch IH and related brands. It’s pretty unlikely due to how expensive things are but we never know, we started seeing a little something with the watermelon man UHF.

[Jord]

@worn2fade Yeah I've found the IH team would try combat it too if it happened, they really care about their customers compared to Supreme that don't give a shit lol.
I've also found 2nd hand IH is normally quite reduced, I just bought a IHG-071-OXB (shell cordovan wallet) on eBay for £120 when retail is £568 obviously not ideal with some items like denim, as you want to fade it yourself, but at least it's an option to get some 2nd hand pieces if you're new to the hobby/on a budget!

Anyway sorry for going off-topic

Weird I felt like I was blocked or something. I did exactly what I’ve done in the past and I’ve been able to pick up every drop.

I don’t really need it, but you know FOMO and all

[rewseph]

@FlavourFade why can’t you be excited for the guthries anymore?

[FlavourFade]

@rewseph just because this was the one item I really wanted and being unable to buy it ruins the ship john experience a bit for me in general.

[FlavourFade]

@northsouthdenimguy what's your best practice again? I was logged in, had shop pay active and at drop time I immediatly had the XL in my chart and tried to pay.

[Northman]

Feel for everyone who didn't....
He said on the livestream an hour before something about having enough fabric to make about 200 shirts.
I guess 200+ people who are refreshing and have shop pay button ready at the same exact time. Like flipping a coin maybe?

[FlavourFade]

@Northman it definetely is! I knew this could happen and it's nobodys fault. Just the fomo kicking in a bit more than I expected. I am really not good in waiting

[hgering27]

Shop pay every time. Knock on wood but I’ve never missed. I grabbed a 2xl because I’ve lost 60lbs since getting my 3xl last year and granted I shrunk it a lot I had to see if 2xl might fit better. If I don’t like the fit though it’ll be up for grabs

[FlavourFade]

@hgering27 hit me up pls if you don't like the fit

[northsouthdenimguy]

@FlavourFade

Yes, having Shop Pay connected to my account usually makes it really easy for the purchase to go through quickly. The trick is having the link open and starting to refresh a minute or two before it goes live. The weird thing was my page never changed. I think the link I had had been up for a while and was broken. I figured he was just running late and going live like the Jerry long sleeve natural drop, which I think was a few minutes late from the posted time. So like a dumbass I sat there refreshing for about 10 minutes.

@northsouthdenimguy for most purchases I use google pay which is super fast, I "dry tested" it with some other item which payment providers I could use and the google pay button was available then. Yesterday when I wanted to pay there only was shop pay... Anyway lesson learned
