I ended up selling my Ramblin’ unworn/unwashed just a few days after receiving it.

I really liked the jacket, but the bottom opening was just too wide for me. That’s one of the challenges with these larger sizes. Everything else can fit well, but sometimes the proportions, like the opening/waist just don’t scale quite right for me. I need a bigger belly…

@mecken88 right on brother, I size down too from my wax Ramblin and its bang on fit. Now both Ramblin fits the same

Understandable. I also saw you talking about having a more curated wardrobe in the other thread ( if that is the right way to describe it ).

I think I got really lucky with mine though. Initially I thought hmmmm, but it actually fills a spot in my jacket rotation.

Did anyone see Mike teasing the Dry waxed townes shirt in insta? I am not so sure about that one myself, but curious to see more.

[mecken88]

@myk1098 yeah same for me! My Large waxed and Medium broken twill, fits very similar! Very happy I sized down

[John1968-75]

@mecken88 Awesome , t
he broken twill is something special .

[Northman]

Now they post about Denim Wills coming soon. Dang it. I´think it will be too similar to the ramblin. hmmmm... Was originally after that one, but thought it would not happen.

[Brock]

Get both!

@Northman

I’m definitely interested in that dry waxed Townes.

I feel bad when a SJ whatever doesn’t fit me or I’m not crazy about it. But the truth is if you don’t love something you’re not going wear it and what’s the point? I’d rather pass it on to somebody that can really enjoy it and for the record I lost a dollar on the transaction. Hopefully that’s OK for the SJ diehards.

@Northman I had teh same thought with one that popped up on ebay recently. i have the waxed, broken twill and kiroki ramblin jackets.....not sure the wills would be different enough to fit into a rotation at that point..... also very high key hoping the collab is a 21 oz IH denim wills or a 21 oz guthrie pant

[Go For Chill]

@roydub87 Personally I doubt it will use the 21oz denim because of the recent talk of how the mill that makes the 21oz can't keep up with current demand. Even IH themselves have said that reruns of popular items like the 805 overalls are not in the pipeline because they can't get the fabric. Seems unlikely they would stop making their own products and give them fabric up for a collab.

[roydub87]

let me dreeeeaaaammmm lol but yes I agree but I also have faith in the good folks running both enterprizes

[Northman]

@Brock Maybe. Do you think the denim will be different and thicker than the Ramblins broken twill? Looks like it's going to have a beefy zipper maybe.

[Brock]

I have no idea. It’ll probably be a Japanese selvedge. The one I have is a 17oz kuroki mills I think

[mecken88]

Don’t know why, but kind of looks heavier then many of the 15oz they have used throughout different jackets.
I would not say slubby, but ever so slightly more “texture” then the lighter fabrics if you zoom in.. haha don’t know. Just overthinking here

Who is excited????

[TheChef17]

@mecken88 I’m about wear my denim jeans with a denim shirt, denim ramblin, with a denim Willis over the top

Can’t wait, should be a banger!

[myk1098]

@mecken88 I noticed that the buttons are not the heavy ones thats used on the wax wills and kinda similar to the ones on the Ramblins pockets.

[myk1098]

@TheChef17 Canadian tux over a Canadian Tux LOL

[mecken88]

@TheChef17 would be a banger combo haha

[MrJay]

@myk1098 I wonder if it’s just the lighting
