@FlavourFade - I will certainly give this a try - thanks! ( it is such a nice jacket I will be wearing it even if it was 4 times too big
) -
@Darth-fader I was fixated on the shoulder measurement and then it turned out to be fine (thought it was going to be too snug, but the chest made up for it). In my opinion it fits like a fusion of type 3, chore coat and work jacket at the same time and somehow it works really well.
-
Has anyone found the shoulder to feel awkward when lifting your arms in the ramblin jacket? Kinda feels tight/forward pulling when I raise my arms up past 90 degrees. I think it's the way the arm holes are cut.
-
@FlavourFade well, I did what you said, and it has shrunk up nicely......now it is absolutely perfect, so thank you so much!
-
I ended up selling my Ramblin’ unworn/unwashed just a few days after receiving it.
I really liked the jacket, but the bottom opening was just too wide for me. That’s one of the challenges with these larger sizes. Everything else can fit well, but sometimes the proportions, like the opening/waist just don’t scale quite right for me. I need a bigger belly…

Understandable. I also saw you talking about having a more curated wardrobe in the other thread ( if that is the right way to describe it ).
I think I got really lucky with mine though. Initially I thought hmmmm, but it actually fills a spot in my jacket rotation.
Did anyone see Mike teasing the Dry waxed townes shirt in insta? I am not so sure about that one myself, but curious to see more.
-
@mecken88 Awesome , t
he broken twill is something special . -
Now they post about Denim Wills coming soon. Dang it. I´think it will be too similar to the ramblin. hmmmm... Was originally after that one, but thought it would not happen.
-
Get both!
-
I’m definitely interested in that dry waxed Townes.
I feel bad when a SJ whatever doesn’t fit me or I’m not crazy about it. But the truth is if you don’t love something you’re not going wear it and what’s the point? I’d rather pass it on to somebody that can really enjoy it and for the record I lost a dollar on the transaction. Hopefully that’s OK for the SJ diehards.

@Northman I had teh same thought with one that popped up on ebay recently. i have the waxed, broken twill and kiroki ramblin jackets.....not sure the wills would be different enough to fit into a rotation at that point..... also very high key hoping the collab is a 21 oz IH denim wills or a 21 oz guthrie pant
-
@roydub87 Personally I doubt it will use the 21oz denim because of the recent talk of how the mill that makes the 21oz can't keep up with current demand. Even IH themselves have said that reruns of popular items like the 805 overalls are not in the pipeline because they can't get the fabric. Seems unlikely they would stop making their own products and give them fabric up for a collab.
-
let me dreeeeaaaammmm lol but yes I agree but I also have faith in the good folks running both enterprizes
-
@Brock Maybe. Do you think the denim will be different and thicker than the Ramblins broken twill? Looks like it's going to have a beefy zipper maybe.
-
I have no idea. It’ll probably be a Japanese selvedge. The one I have is a 17oz kuroki mills I think
-
Don’t know why, but kind of looks heavier then many of the 15oz they have used throughout different jackets.
I would not say slubby, but ever so slightly more “texture” then the lighter fabrics if you zoom in.. haha don’t know. Just overthinking hereWho is excited????
