That’s an excellent point @bbtns
I did just snag one of their Henley thermals in medium and it fits perfect for how I like em. Not really the same as a full on shirt but perhaps some type of barometer.
Yes, I think if you give this as a reference point the crew will be able to size you correct for the jacket.

What can people tell me about how much sleeve length I can really expect to lose to stacking on a Wills? My arms are proportionally short compared to my chest and shoulders, so I need an XL to be able to wear anything other than a t-shirt under it. I'm in G16 for delivery next year, but want to dial in my measurements. I'm definitely getting it shortened to a length I know will work for me, but I'm a little stuck on the sleeves. Thanks!

@Paul9221 similar to you with the weight loss in that I’m down from 175 to 155…. do you feel you could size down to the small now or still happy w the medium?
-
Anyone else snag one of the Ramblin Vests from the scratch and dent section? These things are tanks. The only design issue I can see Mike having is the hand warmer pockets are kind of a PITA to get your hand in when new. I think they will relax after a few wears though.
-
I grabbed one last night. I’m excited for it, I’m a pretty big fan of vests and I wear my wills all the time so it should be a win
-
I have the unlined wills as well as this new lined ramblin vest. I love my wills and will not be upgrading, however if I had to choose between old design and new I would pick the new wills. The unlined waxed jacket feels wet anytime I wear it with just a t shirt until it warms up. Also, the double zipper is a big upgrade, anytime I sit I have to un-zip and then button up without the bottom button.

Thanks @Wormspice just the deets I was looking for. Just another 2.25 years and I’ll know what you’re talking about!!
-
Finally bit the bullet and put down a deposit for a Wills. Not sure why I waited so long, but I’ll be waiting until August of 2025 to find out what all the hype is about!
-
@nrtphotos I've got one for OCT'23–I'm so curious to see if It lives up to the hype. I hope so

Hey Bren, totally missed this. So sorry!
Medium is absolutely perfect for me. I can wear it over a T, or over a light sweater or UHF. I think small MIGHT work over a T, but it would probably be tight.
The Wills was my one jacket when I went up to the San Francisco area for Thanksgiving. Absolutely love it!
-
Finally got my confirmation!
Looks like my Wills is going to be completed a couple months early
EDIT*
Here is my complete Ship John collection. Mostly hats until the Wills arrives

Finally got my confirmation!

-

@Danimal506 how did you find out it would be months early? That’s exciting!

They emailed me Friday and said it will be ready in 6-8 weeks.
Which puts it near February. With time left to wear it before summer!I’m Group 14 which was initially for April 2023.
-
@Danimal506 Sweet–I'm G20 so, hopefully, I'll receive a similar email down the road!
-
I'm G16 so maybe I'll get mine in time for some wear before summer hits!
Edit: Just today got the email about sizing confirmation for G16, which was supposed to be June 2023 but could be February. Sweet. Still trying to nail down sizing but am pretty hyped.
