Ship John

Just Ramblin on

[rahrah12]

I really like the layout of the Ramblin jackets but I’ll probably pass…

[mecken88]

@dirtyframer man I like the Ramblin so so much! I have the waxed canvas version that I wear all the time!

Been wanting the denim version since 2023, so this is a no brainer for me. It’s just not timed great with my other funds, and expenses. So there is a big chance I have to pass.

But if i figure it out in time, im definitely trying too!🫣

Interesting, looks like this batch of ramblin jackets doesnt have any snaps on the center handwarmer chest pockets, compared to the other photos people have posted. Not sure if I like or dislike

[Go For Chill]

@TheChef17 It makes me want it more. I’m not a fan of anything that could make hand warmer pockets less comfy or snag shirt cuffs, and I wouldn’t personally use those for storage.

[Chibs]

@TheChef17 Aesthetically I like the snaps on the older version better. Still a cool jacket though.

[TheChef17]

@Go-For-Chill @Chibs I kinda in both camps. Stylistically, I like the option and look of the snaps, but functionally I agree I've had gloves and cuffs snag on things like this. Either way it's still a badass jacket!

[rahrah12]

I lean no snap for that pocket. I would never use them.

@TheChef17 the pictures that Mike been spreading is the older layout of the Ramblin version.
They did remove the buttons already in the updated Japanese Selvedge version that got released back in 2023.

So I’m guessing why the oldest version has gotten the most spotlight on all latest teases, is just because it’s the return of the actual fabric. They went back to that original broken twill fabric.

So this variant is the return of the original fabric but with the minor updated layout that got changed in 2023‍️

[mecken88]

Left is the oldest Ramblin, with broken twill and buttons. Slightly different seams and look on the chore pockets too. The right is the Japanese Selvedge version from 2023.

And this is the newest pictures of the mashed love child. Newer look, with broken twill:

@mecken88 Will have to see how this pans out. I do like the look of it now with the clean looking pockets. Ship John would bring brand variety to my wardrobe, but the IH FW announcement is probably just around the corner as well.

[mecken88]

@Northman i think Mike said ones he was never interested in making another replica of the regular type 3 just with a SJ logo on it.
He wanted to make, in his opinion the best trucker jacket he could make. So it’s like a moders twist on a type 3 in his point of view.

And from owning the waxed canvas version of the same jacket. I can really see why he chose the outlook he did. Okey it’s not a classic that goes by the “rules”.
But it’s truly a versatile and amazing jacket. Having those options to put stuff in the chore pockets, but still having the option to rest your hands in the handwarmer pockets it’s a cool variation

Tomorrow! Link doesn't work so I can’t look at measurements.

[John1968-75]

@Chibs Click on the details tab and it has the measurements

Thx! Sleeves are long!

Anyone have a clue on how to size this ramblin? L in ship john is usually too small for me. XL only works after a hot wash and some shrinkage. 18.5 shoulder would definitely not work on a shirt for me but 24.75 chest seems huge. I am an XL in a wills for what that is worth. Hmm...

[Nobunaga]

Got the SJ email and immediately came here for more info. Probably gonna go for this one. It's too cool to pass. Other than the denim and sashiko hats that I purchased from them, I'm a noob when it comes to their other items. Is the denim raw and will it shrink if I give it a hot soak? Just wondering if I can dial in the fit if needed.

[Chibs]

Maybe it’s not open to Canadian orders. The link still doesn’t work for me.

@Chibs Maybe your wife tampered with your phone so you can't buy it. She's great in your videos btw. I love that she doesn't pull any punches when giving her opinion.
