@Northman i think Mike said ones he was never interested in making another replica of the regular type 3 just with a SJ logo on it.
He wanted to make, in his opinion the best trucker jacket he could make. So it’s like a moders twist on a type 3 in his point of view.

And from owning the waxed canvas version of the same jacket. I can really see why he chose the outlook he did. Okey it’s not a classic that goes by the “rules”.
But it’s truly a versatile and amazing jacket. Having those options to put stuff in the chore pockets, but still having the option to rest your hands in the handwarmer pockets it’s a cool variation

Tomorrow! Link doesn't work so I can’t look at measurements.

Thx! Sleeves are long!

Anyone have a clue on how to size this ramblin? L in ship john is usually too small for me. XL only works after a hot wash and some shrinkage. 18.5 shoulder would definitely not work on a shirt for me but 24.75 chest seems huge. I am an XL in a wills for what that is worth. Hmm...

Got the SJ email and immediately came here for more info. Probably gonna go for this one. It's too cool to pass. Other than the denim and sashiko hats that I purchased from them, I'm a noob when it comes to their other items. Is the denim raw and will it shrink if I give it a hot soak? Just wondering if I can dial in the fit if needed.

[Chibs]

Maybe it’s not open to Canadian orders. The link still doesn’t work for me.

@Chibs Maybe your wife tampered with your phone so you can't buy it. She's great in your videos btw. I love that she doesn't pull any punches when giving her opinion.

@mecken88 appreciate the research brotha! I had no idea there were so many different iterations!

[Chibs]

@Nobunaga haha thx. Wait until you see what she says next vid. Brutal!

[mecken88]

@Chibs weird, it should not be picky on where your from. I’m in Sweden I can see the jacket.

If you go to Ship John’s website, go to clothing it should be the item in the top.

Sweden is 9 hours ahead Portland. So if I’m gonna try, it’s a late night for me

Just became unsure about sizing too, I’m a solid Large in Ship John.

Own the flannel plaid shirt, denim Townes shirt, waxed Ramblin jacket and the Kristofferson preorder for this winter. All is Large. But no one have a wide chest of 23,25”.
And it said in the next “extremely minimal shrinkage” so don’t know if Medium will do me better..
I did send them an email and ask, but haven’t gotten a response yet

So…no one interested in the shorts that are dropping at the same time???

[Northman]

The only thing with the 2XL sixing is the 19.50 shoulder measurement that I am wondering about. Altho my sashiko townes had similar shoulder measurement and it fits fine. Idk maybe the large chest measurement helps. With IH I can't wear anything with that shoulder measurement, but then again it's usually paired with a equally tighter chest as well.

@rahrah12 I'm definitely interested. I love the look and color.

Hopefully the rambler jackets get all the attention and there isn't a rush for the Guthrie shorts.

@TheChef17 missing the ship john pocket logo too

[myk1098]

@Northman they made the shoulder short then compensated on longer sleeve to make the wearer flattering, but the chest wise a bit wider and a bit longer jacket, just comparing with my old ramblin wax version

[myk1098]

@Chibs trip to the local alteration

[mecken88]

Sorry for not having the entire chart saved for all of you bigger or smaller dudes. But I found the waxed Ramblin chart saved on medium and large so put them side by side with this current broken twill version.

So the list is in the order:

•Chest
•shoulder
•bicep
•sleeve
•center back
•bottom hem
