The 19oz Lefty is a burly denim that is like wearing tree bark. The Wills is just as if not more thick but smooth, wavy and waxy. The Lefty is slim fitting while the Wills is more relaxed fit. Hope this helps.

Yeah man! Nicely put

Some more pics, including the side pic (sorry, I'm awful at taking photos). You can see how my thicc booty necessitated sizing up to the XL. Too many beers and squats.

[Oaktavia]

@iamntbatman that looks like a lovely fit man, definitely made for you! I have another one I am waiting for and I think I'll get a size smaller. Your side shots help confirm this.

@iamntbatman bra!! You outta show off them dreads!!! Looks like you got one hell of a crop growing there!!

[Oaktavia]

@Mizmazzle heh I had a head of dreads a long time ago

[Mizmazzle]

@Oaktavia same here! Had em about 6 years. Past mid back. Hippy skate punk to the bone haha

[iamntbatman]

@Mizmazzle hah, it's actually just a very unkempt bun. I gotta get the sides/back buzzed back down.

Just pulled my old Cone Mills Wills Jacket out of storage and washed it. I think I'm going to sell it because I replaced it with a larger size. Thought y'all might appreciate the fades.

@Palmer Well some very,very lucky person will be getting a seriously cool jacket.

Welp, just made my final payment — should be getting my Willis in the next week or so, I guess. Stoked.

Awesome! Did you get it earlier than expected?

[popvulture]

@Oaktavia yep it'll be earlier. I think my original date to expect it was June or July. I got a notice a lot earlier than expected in like January or Feb, I believe... doing a final size confirmation. They said it'd be like 4 weeks at that point, but then it took a while and I decided to check back and see what was up. They were delayed due to some kind of zipper shortage.

So, TLDR — not as early as initially expected, but still earlier than my original group.

Man. This is hilarious and weird but I've been thinking all this time that the jacket is WILLIS, as in "what you talkin' bout, Willis?" It's like my brain kept seeing Wills and added the i in there.

I feel sort of stupid but more disappointed, to be honest. I'm gonna keep calling it a Willis.

Anyway, mine arrives tomorrow!

[Oaktavia]

@popvulture hahahahahahahaha awesome WILLIS!!!
