Yea I kinda like the way Graeme is rocking his without the patch… I almost ripped mine off today
but I’m too lazy -
@Mizmazzle I always vote sashiko

I gave my hat a second hot soak today. This time in hot tap water with a tiny bit of detergent. I agitated it every 10 mins or so for a 30 minute soak. Left the patch and bill out of the water, but they got wet inevitably. I left it out in the 95 degree Texas sun for an hour.
It shrunk down again and this time I think the fit might be perfect. It used to hurt my ears after a while when I wore it because of the high crown. So far so good on the first wear!
No significant fades yet. I don’t know how you guys got them so quick!
-
@Danimal506 oh man. This is great news. I’ve been going back and forth on my broken twill version. The fit just isn’t working quite right. I’ve got the Sashiko stashed away. But if I can’t get the denim one to work…
-
@Mizmazzle I’m doing the opposite! Wearing the sashiko and stashing the denim for future reference.

@Danimal506 same

16oz Sashiko Ori Indigo, but as you know this feels heavier that IH 21oz, and just more my style. I wish it was CPO style and had the lined placket + cuffs, but without a doubt one of my favorite pieces.

@Brock Sashiko with thoseSJ brass snaps is such a good combo! Love their shirts
-
@Danimal506 I agree! This piece is epic…

Getting dirty today!

Curious, do a lot of Wills owners find they sit pretty snug on the hips/butt? My large long fits pretty good but is a little snug on my hips/butt. It’s probably got 1-1.5 inches of breathing room, I think the heavy fabric makes it feel tighter than it actually is. The jacket doesn’t ride up or anything it’s just a little more fitted than I’m used too. I see quite a few pictures on here of guys with a similar snug fit on the hips, so curious on peoples thoughts.
It’s long enough that even with layers I don’t think it will be an issue as they will sit higher. On my Type 3’s I’d leave the bottom button undone to give a bit more room, the button on these doesn’t work as well for that, it looks kinda weird.
I kinda hope I get a bit of shrinkage in the length from natural wear and tear (getting wet and drying off), some people online have commented that similar style waxed jackets do shrink up. Maybe mine just needs to be broken in? I’ve only worn it a couple days!

Arms and overall length will definitely shorten a bit after the creases set in
-
@nrtphotos I have a regular length and I don’t notice any particular snug feeling in the waist. The belly is snug for sure haha! Because the fabric has no give, it gets tight feeling sometimes.
I’m a big fan of a two-way zipper. I always keep it up a couple of inches. -
Got a little wet trick or treating with the kids
