Ship John

@Denimhead-0 it's definetely running large but looks like a good starting point for some hot washes!!
-
Did a scalding hot soak followed by a hot wash w no spin, followed by 10 mins in dryer, checking fit, followed by 10 mins again with another check, and another final 10 min dryer round for a total of 30 mins.
Came out w 1” shrink in p2p, Shoulders, and almost an inch in sleeves. Lost 1.5” in length.
So much better
-
@Denimhead-0 great fit !! But still more like a shacket no?
-
Yes, like it that way as I tend to wear my flannels more.
-
Lots of Indigo in there

Since I accidentaly got a Ship John Wills jacket V2 I join this threat. We visited another forum member and his wife this weekend, when we where in Den Haag and Rotterdam and while I got a tour through the IH closet he wanted me to try on this Wills V2 jacket, because, sadly, it is to big for him.
The jacket is a 2XL and it fits quite nice. The backview looks a bit roomy, but I guess that is the cut. My wife liked it and the price was basically a present. The only donwside is, that I am facing temperatures well above 20° C the next few month, so that it will not get to much wear in the forseeable future.

@Cole Sweet! Looks great

@dirtyframer thanks, I clicked and just purchased my first SJ thingee! Was expecting it to say “out of stock when I pushed “buy it now”.
Perhaps I’m dreaming though. -
@Chibs glad you got one in time!
-
-
Yeah I was gonna say these went live again….. kinda wanna buy another one but I currently have my 437 filling a God sized hole in my heart
-
Just got mine as well. XL. Had to give it a good warm wash. Fits much better but I'm also wondering if I should get it hemmed in length a bit.
-
Missed the shirt again. Checked their page like three times a day for the last weeks and now they went life when I am asleep

@Chibs Pretty sure that's how Mike explained it in one of his lives awhile back before one of the original drops. It's why it was one of the harder fabrics for him to get in large quantities and why it tends to be more expensive.

@rahrah12 So cool!!!!!
-
Sashiko w the SJ Wesco’s
-
@Chibs @rahrah12 Sashiko-ori fabric is also made on a loom. It is just done in a manner to replicate the hand-stitched look from a traditional Sashiko weave. Ship John uses the term Sashiko-ori, which appears to be technically correct. Whereas other clothing manufacturers who use Sashiko-ori fabrics just call it by the short hand “Sashiko”

@MrJay Got it, that makes a bit more sense cost wise. So this stuff is basically Dobby cloth?
