Nothing on my end no emails for final payment.
In other news, my Mister Lou is waiting for me at home. I’m hoping it looks as good as @Denimhead-0 pair. Saw an 11 D on the Discord that looked relatively rough….
-
Anybody going for the shirt later today?

Slight but way more than acceptable variation. From the Derroll boot to the natty cxl “bubble toe” (I no longer own) to this boot it might just me but his damn makeup fits so well right out of the box… 11.5D is perfect same as the others

@northsouthdenimguy If you like teacore patina, I suspect they will be killer. I love em.
-
Yeah, definitely what I was looking for
-
@northsouthdenimguy they look great! I would have jumped on these if I hadn’t just picked up a pair from Franklin and Poe a few weeks ago.

@northsouthdenimguy
Thanks for the heads up. Just nabbed my first Ship John shirt. -
Nice! I’m always more than happy to get people to spend their money on cool things.
I also picked up one, curious about this particular model/cut of shirt, See if it’s something I like.. my buddy has a short sleeve one and he loves it.
Still Jonesing for the black Sashiko really curious if it’ll fit a little bit different than the denim Townes
-
@northsouthdenimguy I wanted to do the embroidered name, but was nervous with it being my first shirt from them.
-
I thought about doing somebody else’s name like “Chuck” or my wife loves to call me “Stevie G” I tell her it would be my R&B name if I was a singer
-
I wonder if the indigo sashiko ori will be a preorder or not. I saw a photo of the fabric rolls for it at ship john on Instagram.
I wonder the same about the denim wills. He had a livestream some time ago where he mentioned something about waiting on zippers.
Preorders or will both items be in stock when ready? Thoughts? -
@Northman he wrote preorders soon about the denim wills. That was in early january. Now it's almost march. I really like their products but the lack of communication mixed with announcing or not announcing "surprise" launches and then having like two pairs of each sizes is really annoying.
I think the indigo sachiko townes will be a preorder too.

@FlavourFade Yeah a post said the details about it would be announced in a January newsletter.
I think I signed up for a newsletter but haven't received anything. -
I keep checking mine, thinking the balance on the black Sashiko will be there…
-
@goosehd My bad. They had sent a newsletter in January, but it announced other stuff and just had a short mention about them getting the Denim Wills ready for preorder.

As much as I love consistency, I would probably do it the exact same way if I was running a tiny company that released one piece every few months, and didn’t want my life consumed by the business. My custom boot guy is the same way. “You’ll get it when you get it.”

Yeah, I’m curious about my shirt, but it doesn’t bother me one bit. I’ve ordered enough stuff from small makers to know this is just how it goes sometimes. Sure, it’s a little annoying when you want to wear something before it’s too hot or the season passes, but whatever. I’ll have a nice fresh shirt come October, so it all works out.
Same with the releases. It’s just his quirkiness and the way he’s evolved doing it. But it does make you focus way too much on trying to figure out when things are actually going to drop. That part can get time consuming, especially if you’re a weirdo like me who wants to make sure you don’t miss something.

I’ll wait as long as I need to, BUT when an expectation is created by putting things like “delivery by X at the latest” and then barely communicating what’s going on when it’s now been close to 3 months past the “latest” delivery date is really frustrating. I get it. Stuff happens. I work in an industry where back ordered items could be months and months out.
As I’ve said before and something I firmly stand by, under promise, over deliver. I would’ve rather they said shirts will be shipping by March, and then be stoked if I got it in February, but alas… Yeah I’m going to keep buying ship john stuff. The products are incredible. It’s just really frustrating to get no updates on something like this.
