@Salted-Racer it’s been an emotional rollercoaster for me for sure always loved the denim/sherpa jackets since I was a teenager. And dove deep into a SJ fanboy phase since I found about them a few years back

So when Mike first teased about the jacket with the natural sheepskin lining, feeling like a 2.0 upgraded deluxe jacket! I knew instantly it was a jacket I someday needed to own. So iv tried all three releases, ready, Apple Pay ready quicker then lucky Luke (it felt like) but with no success on either of the releases

I mean it’s like three years yearning for the same jacket over and over!
So I hope my luck will change on this fourth release🫶

@northsouthdenimguy how heavy is the fabric? Sleeves are relatively easy to tailor, if the material isn't too heavy. I just had my local guy tailor the arms on a midweight shirt that was too big in the upper arm and it was done in a couple of hours for little cost.

@NickD

It’s 13oz.

I hot soaked the arms a couple times last night and threw it in the dryer. We’ll see how it fits later today. Yesterday before soaking I tried on with a T-shirt and it fits and feels better through the upper arm area. I just typically don’t wear a T-shirt underneath shirts like this.

If I can’t get the arms to shrink more I will probably will have them tailored as if it doesn’t fit just right, I won’t reach for it.

More than likely, I’ll take it to Guilty Party there shortening up the sleeves on my 178 so I’m sure they can also do this…

@mecken88 Striking out on drops is such a bummer, heartbreaking even. I remember when the decade dropped people were claiming it was gone within a minute. I don't know if this works or its just good voodoo placebo effect buuuut, what I did prior to it releasing was add a leather coaster to the cart $8 and go through the checkout process right till the end so it saved my info, backed out and waited for the wills drop, added to cart and checked out (with the coaster still in there). They said it wouldn't matter but, hey I got my wills at the end of the day!

Looking at it now however it seems to have my shop info pre saved not sure if that's always been a thing but shop pay is two clicks, every second counts lol.

@Gianny-Boy I use shop pay as well and also have my credit card number saved to paste, as a back up just in case.

[Gianny Boy]

@Denimhead-0 paste is genius im gonna copy that!

[Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot]

sliders are up

[Gianny Boy]

195 for brass
625 for silver

Brass just feels so right for SJ

[Mister_Brue]

Snagged a brass one.

[TheChef17]

Grabbed a brass as well, I wonder how different it will be vs a Belt Loop Buddy

[Gianny Boy]

Same same, although as I look at these steel buttons on my IH gear the silver seems very complimentary, c'est la vie!

Excited for ideal placements with the slider, I find I like it somewhere between the 10-11oclock position.

[mecken88]

Congrats on the brass, for those that snag one!
Iv wanted that for years and now with a 2.0 upgrade SJ logo it’s such a cool piece!

But I may have to pass on this just because my priorities changed after the leak of another run on the Kristofferson.

It really bugs me because Iv wanted the brass ez slider for so long. But I want the Kristofferson even more. And I don’t wanna jeopardize the funds by impulse buying too many other things before🫣

But for those that buys the brass, I envy you🥰🫶
And hope you post some pictures of it so I can feed of your hype haha!

[mecken88]

Anyone here in the group that owns the denim Ramblin jacket?

I’m excited about its return and hope I’ll manage to buy one. But curios on the cut and general feel of the jacket.
So if anyone owns it unwound love to hear your view, opinions of the jacket?

Hope everyone had a great weekend🫶

[kojimastreets]

Love every opportunity I get to wear this jacket

[Danimal506]

About a year of heavy use. Twice washed to get it started, it’s due for a third. I absolutely LOVE this hat! It really makes me want the shirt now…

[northsouthdenimguy]

Finally wore my hat for the first time, I forget how long ago it was released, maybe a year or so?

Also, got a little package of goodies from SJ today

[Danimal506]

@northsouthdenimguy Nice little brass pickup there!

The hats came out a little over one year ago. I think end of August? To my memory.

[northsouthdenimguy]

@Danimal506

I knew it had been a while I put it in boiling water upside down a couple times to shrink it a bit and just never wore it… I’m really starting to like it. Wore it all day yesterday and wearing it today.

[Danimal506]

@northsouthdenimguy It’s a bit warm in summer, great for this time of year.

@mecken88 I have one of the V1 broken twill Ramblin jackets and it’s my all time favorite SJ piece (along with my Sashiko Townes shirt). Mike at SJ describes the Ramblin as their version of the traditional trucker jacket in terms of fit and general proportions. The thing I like the most is the completely unique pocket layout.
