Weird I felt like I was blocked or something. I did exactly what I’ve done in the past and I’ve been able to pick up every drop.
I don’t really need it, but you know FOMO and all

@rewseph just because this was the one item I really wanted and being unable to buy it ruins the ship john experience a bit for me in general.

@northsouthdenimguy what's your best practice again? I was logged in, had shop pay active and at drop time I immediatly had the XL in my chart and tried to pay.

Yes, having Shop Pay connected to my account usually makes it really easy for the purchase to go through quickly. The trick is having the link open and starting to refresh a minute or two before it goes live. The weird thing was my page never changed. I think the link I had had been up for a while and was broken. I figured he was just running late and going live like the Jerry long sleeve natural drop, which I think was a few minutes late from the posted time. So like a dumbass I sat there refreshing for about 10 minutes.

@northsouthdenimguy for most purchases I use google pay which is super fast, I "dry tested" it with some other item which payment providers I could use and the google pay button was available then. Yesterday when I wanted to pay there only was shop pay... Anyway lesson learned

I appreciate the small batch and small business struggles. This was also the #1 item on my SJ hit list and I missed out, but I guess it wasn’t meant to be. His carefree-ness is appealing as a lifestyle, but it also means your interactions with the company aren’t going to feel like you’re being waited on hand and foot. This isn’t Neiman Marcus. I think you just have to be cool with getting a special piece now and then and missing out on some; otherwise SJ just isn’t for you. …at least that’s what I’m telling myself after missing out.
The above comment should be read with all the levity your current metal state will allow.

@FlavourFade I also use google pay and have had good luck with it. Have the indigo sashiko, the black sashiko and managed to snag the blacked out Wills to. Not gloating, just to inform you I have had luck with google pay. I'd keep an eye out for a while after they ship the pre-orders. Wouldn't be the first time they had "extra" that they just put on the web site. They did that with some Kristofferson's and the hickory striped western shirt. I am quite certain they did it with some indigo sashiko shirts as well.
-
@FlavourFade very true, that’s how i ended up scoring a kristofferson a couple weeks ago.

@Go-For-Chill totally right. Maybe just have to change my mindset about all that a bit. Had to google neimann marcus, but can't compare to any shop like this

@FlavourFade ha! It’s sort of know as the department store in the US most famous for crazy customer service. Free alterations, unquestioned returns beyond their stated policy, bending over backwards for customers… you just pay for it up front with crazy priced goods.
-
@Go-For-Chill Are you sure you're not thinking of Nordstrom? I never had good service when I shopped at Neiman Marcus decades ago.
-
Ended up sleeping through the drop. Decided that I already bought three shirts since Redline Rally started that I have wait another 301 days before I can wear them. And adding a fourth to that pile would not do. Maybe next time. I'll put the money "saved" (rationalizing already
) towards a nice pair of boots I think -
That used to be Nordstrom, I’m not sure if they’re still the same now. I used to shop there a lot 20-25 years ago with my ex-wife and there was absolutely nothing they wouldn’t take back.
Not a fan of Neiman Marcus, never gotten so much attitude from people selling ties and generally awful men’s clothing.

@Denimhead-0 thank you
The first album that came to mind.
If wasn’t in an underground parking lot on the way to dinner I may have snagged one but it’s fine
. Eventually I’ll buy something Ship John.
