Ship John

@Mizmazzle I got to take some sunlight pictures today. I think I may wash it soon because I’ve been using it quite a bit lately and it’s getting hot out. And that’ll help get some more evo going.

[Mizmazzle]

@Danimal506 damn! That looks dope as hell. I’ve been on the fence about letting mine go. Your pics have fully changed my mind.

Did you soak it when you got it?

[Danimal506]

@Mizmazzle Yea I like it so much I’m thinking about looking for a backup! I did a warm soak initially, then a hot soak to really shrink it down. It shrunk the leather patch a little more than I’d hoped, sort of annoyed me at first. But I’ve gotten used to that. It’s really taken shape to my head too. I love the soft hand of the Sashiko and the texture. It’s a really unique fabric, especially for a hat.
It is a bit warm, so I bought one of their new black corduroy mesh back hats for the summer.

[Mizmazzle]

@Danimal506 good info brother man. Thinking I’ll beat the shit out of my BT version and use it for fishing and backpacking etc. Maybe save the sashiko for a nicer, cleaner hat I can use when I want a cleaner presentation.

[Danimal506]

@Mizmazzle I’m a daily hat wearer. Ship Johns cut and pattern and fabrics have grown to become my favorite hats over the years.

I love the brass cap and holes. I haven’t had any issues with the snap back falling apart and the bill holds strength. I just wish they would repeat a pattern for the ones I missed. But every hat is one and done.

I missed the drop on this Good Art x Ship John Model 10AASJ bracelet back in the fall. It has three brass links. Not that it mattered since it was a limited edition of 25 pieces and apparently sold out instantaneously. Been kind of obsessed with it ever since. Found one by accident on eBay when looking at regular Model 10 bracelets. Crazy markup but it was the right size. Couldn't pass it up even though I could buy two regular Model 10s, or a Tudor, for the same money. No regrets. I already have a blue FXD. And pretty sure no one on Earth wears two Model 10s at the same time. Except maybe Maradona.

[Danimal506]

@chadstone30 Super cool! I think @Kasi might have Maradona beat when it comes to GAH though haha

[Kasi]

@Danimal506

I storm the world like the hand of god, like Maradona.

[chadstone30]

@Kasi Would love to see your GAH stack!

@chadstone30

[Brock]

Me two….

[Danimal506]

Ooooohhhhh snap! A new challenger has entered the arena

[chadstone30]

@Brock
@Kasi

I stand corrected. All apologies.

[Brock]

@chadstone30
Haha! I don’t actually wear 2 at the same time… I just posted that because Mo was showing off and I happen to have two model 10s also...
That ship John model 10 is soo sick!

[Brock]

@Mizmazzle I just washed mine yesterday and it’s starting to show some evo..

[derek111]

@Brock that hat is looking dope!

[Mizmazzle]

@Brock so good!! My mind is made up. I’m going to break mine out soon, give it a soak or two, and start rocking it. Looks like it fades quicker than the broken twill version. Love the texture on the sashiko.

[chadstone30]
