@Northman they made the shoulder short then compensated on longer sleeve to make the wearer flattering, but the chest wise a bit wider and a bit longer jacket, just comparing with my old ramblin wax version

@Chibs trip to the local alteration

Sorry for not having the entire chart saved for all of you bigger or smaller dudes. But I found the waxed Ramblin chart saved on medium and large so put them side by side with this current broken twill version.

So the list is in the order:

•Chest
•shoulder
•bicep
•sleeve
•center back
•bottom hem

For those trying figure out sizing….
I have a leather wills, waxed wills, denim wills, kristofferson, and the broken twill Ramblin jacket all in size XL.

And they fit great across the board.

For me personally I was a no brainer size Large too in the old versions of the jacket. Like everything else in Ship John, I’m a consistent size Large.

But because of the changed pattern or tweaked run of this jacket. They became wider, longer and longer arms then it had before. So to closer mimic the size of my Large waxed canvas Ramblin. Jacob at least recommended me personally to size down in this run. Because this medium was closer to my old Large, then this new large is to my old probably not a go to respons for everyone. But that’s what Jacob recommended me to do. Size is always subjective, and I would have been able to wear a size large in this run. It would just look and feel way to big for my preference.

Like my waxed Ramblin have 22.5” chest and it’s a lined jacket. This new broken twill version have 23.25” and it’s unlined. The amount of extra room would be quite significant if I would go the same size. But if I size down to a medium that has 22.25” it’s closer to my old Ramblin.

That’s why it got me confused. Because I knew large was my size from previous runs.
But different runs may change, so going by the measurements and asking their customers support is probably the right move to find the desired fit🫶

If I was going for this I would size down from my wax Ramblin jacket based on the measurements. This Ramblin measures a little larger than my Wills of the same size in chest and sleeve which tends to impact my decisions the most.

Alright!

[northsouthdenimguy]

Yeah I snagged a medium! (One size down from what I usually wear)

Hoping it will turn out great!

Seems like a lot of people hit…hope that’s a sign of things to come as far as stocking…

Grabbed a medium. Such a cool looking jacket so I couldn't resist. My first SJ jacket.
