I was offered a Wills jacket in 2XL-Long, and I'm trying to figure out if the sizing will work for me.
I had a size 4XL IHJ-104-BLK Oiled Cotton Chore Coat, which was almost identical in the dimensions, except that the shoulder width of the Iron Heart was (according to the chart) 21.3" and the Wills is (according to the chart) 20.75".
My shoulders and upper chest are the pain point in Iron Heart gear. I gave the chore coat to my brother because it was too tight there, and my IHSH-289 sometimes gapes slightly between the second and third button. The Wills is half an inch narrower through the shoulders, but it has a pleated back, and I was wondering if anyone has any experience with it.
@northsouthdenimguy do you have a Wills? If so, what size? Your chest and arm measurements are the same as mine.
-
I’ve got a V2 Will’s 2XL regular. I’m 24” p2p and usually prefer 20” shoulders, I think my Wills is 19.5”. It’s perfect for me, other than would like a little more length in sleeves, although they are fine.

Sorry, no help here. I do not have a Wills

March 4th!
Should I?? That is my birthday. Is this some sort of sign?!? -
@Chibs
yes. I agree, it's a sign. Love mine. I may try again. Seems like this is a different fabric. That's seems like justification enough
-
@Chibs coming in clutch as always! Can’t wait for us both to get one and happy birthday big dog!

@hgering27 @northsouthdenimguy Did you happen to take pre and post wash/dry measurements? I took my normal size and after a cold wash it fits me well up top but hugs my waist and bunches up at the bottom. I’m wondering if sizing up for the indigo preorder and hot wash/dry will give me a better fit.
-
@uclabruin I didn’t take measures but it tightened up considerably. There’s notes on the new preorder page how the black and new indigo will be different from the original in terms of shrinkage so I’d probably stick closer to the measurement guide. I MIGHT try to preorder a 2xl to have a fresh one and to see how it fits. I coincidentally just took some 1 year of owning pics the other day and it’s awesome how light it’s gotten.

I did not measure it before, but using the chart measurements as a reference, it definitely shrank quite a bit. The chest came in about three quarters of an inch and the sleeve length shrank at least an inch. I measured both of those. The waist and overall length appear to have shrunk along similar lines, although I did not take exact measurements for those.
Edit: just looked at the chart again. The chest actually shrunk an inch from 25.75 to 24.75

It’s like a 33-T on steroids. This may be my first Ship John thing.

I got the email today too. I have to be strong tomorrow.. I do not need another beautiful, well made, indigo, beautiful, beautiful shirt.. :laugh
-
This really throws a wrench in things with IH also releasing so many beautiful, textured, non-denim indigo shirts this season.
-
It’s going live right when I’ll be out with my family for birthday dinner. I’ll definitely try but not sure if I’ll be able to order

Man this thing is gorgeous.
Question for you guys that have experience with it— is this shirt breathable at all? Like would I absolutely hate myself wearing this shirt everyday in FL?

My only Shipjohn, the wallet and brass key connector

@worn2fade well itll definitely fade faster i imagine, but it is on the unbreathable side
