Ship John

@mecken88 i know you werent asking me, but just to chime in, i just use the shop pay in the checkout on their website and never had any issues getting through, the biggest variable ive noticed is timing the refresh with the loading of the items

I use the option at checkout on their website also

Anyone have advice on ship John sizing? I’m an XL in everything iron heart but it feels like ironheart measurements mostly fall right in the middle of L and XL for ship john.

[mecken88]

@paulmtg I would say the standard boring answering is still to follow the individual size charts of every product, just like Iron heart.
Some SJ stuff fits snug, some fits loose.

So in Iron heart I’m a pretty consistent size Large. But in SJ I pend between Medium and Large depending on that individual garment.
All comes down to personal preference how you want the specific garment to fit your body time.

So no one answers, is the right answer🫶

@mecken88 thanks for the response! Did your SJ shirts shrink much?

@mecken88 also to chime in on this, if you use the shop app it tends to charge you taxes. Going through the shop option on the website (ship John’s) will save you a few bucks. This is my personal experience.

@paulmtg chiming in on this, it depends on which shirts and how you wash them. I have cooked my sashiko to get as much shrink out as possible, and it has absolutely shrunk a good amount. a few of the other shirts i have were a little big when i first got, so i did a warm soak/wash and depending on the material theyre is definitely some shrinkage, some moreso than others

[mecken88]

@paulmtg never washed my newest flannel, haven’t had time to use it that much. But the rest is washed and hasn’t shrink anything.

But iv washed them cold, gently so nothing too extreme that would enhance shrinkage.

Drove through Portland yesterday and stopped at Ship John and met Mike Elias and chatted with him for a bit and bought a couple things. He is a really cool dude and it really cemented my appreciation for him and his brand. It was great that they had some sample Wills Jackets on display too, was able to try them all on. Thought I'd be a medium but the large was definitely the right size

Anyone else get a phishing email from the Ship John account? I received two of them tonight. The email address is legit, but I didn’t order anything and am not going to reply to the email. I reached out to them through instagram to give them a heads up.

[SilentMikal]

@jdwaid I’d reach out to Ship John in a separate email and let them know that there’s some scam emails going around.

I was able to snag a Townes Black Sashiko-Ori, anybody else get one?

Somebody told me they were gone in 45 seconds or less

[hgering27]

@northsouthdenimguy nice, I was able to get one as well, IMO these seemed to go faster than the Kristofferson

[catdad1]

@northsouthdenimguy I was mid conversation at work when my reminder went off at 3, logged on less than a minute later and size XL was gone.

[northsouthdenimguy]

@hgering27

Yes, crazy fast. Congrats.

[northsouthdenimguy]

@catdad1

Looks like you have to be on right before and keep refreshing just to have a shot

[Darth-fader]

I tried - I failed

I was able to get one. I'm a bit concerned on size at the moment but glad to score. I didn't see how long they took to sell out. I was operating under the assumption I had seconds and I've gotten good at drops like this from the EDC community.

@Blanco What's an "EDC?"
