$1,000 !?! For a lined jean jacket? It's not even made out of leather. Yowza.

And this, by the way, is coming from me, a person who owns two (2) Wills jackets.

I have a Sashiko Townes (large) and a Indigo Striped Selvedge Townes (large) but the striped one has armpit holes that feel tiny compared to the sashiko, so if I attempt to buy this flannel I'll probably go XL with the intent of washing it often.

I've got several SJ items and dig them all but their launches are generally not well-handled.

Stuff drops with almost zero notice. If you aren't constantly watching their instagram page you miss it.

This shirt looks cool, but it goes on sale tomorrow and the product page isn't live yet. Is it heavy flannel? What is the size chart? I'd like to know some details so that a shirt of several hundred dollars is more than a fomo impulse buy.

Insta post: "These release on Thursday at noon PDT. Final details/photos/ specs should be on the site by Tuesday."

Today is Wednesday. I cant find a product page on the site. Launch is tomorrow.

Reality is it will still sell out nearly instantaneously no matter what. Good for Mike I guess.

Thank you Iron Heart for communicating their launches clearly and consistently.

@Bobcat-Sig I asked Mike in an Instagram Live once why the newsletters stopped. He said he got busy and quit doing them, which is a bummer because I missed a couple of items that I would have liked to pick up. Now I check the SJ instagram pretty regularly to try to keep up on what's coming out when.

Excellent. Other than the leather patch what are the special features of the Decade Edition?

@ihukcrew Is it so!?

@hgering27 Post a pic of that for sure...

@Kasi

I stand corrected. All apologies.

@Kasi Would love to see your GAH stack!

I missed the drop on this Good Art x Ship John Model 10AASJ bracelet back in the fall. It has three brass links. Not that it mattered since it was a limited edition of 25 pieces and apparently sold out instantaneously. Been kind of obsessed with it ever since. Found one by accident on eBay when looking at regular Model 10 bracelets. Crazy markup but it was the right size. Couldn't pass it up even though I could buy two regular Model 10s, or a Tudor, for the same money. No regrets. I already have a blue FXD. And pretty sure no one on Earth wears two Model 10s at the same time. Except maybe Maradona.

Outstanding, thanks for the good news!

Hello IHUK Team. Hoping that since Tail Gunner and Big Buck have made their reappearances, maybe this one will also be on the list for a reissue?

"they just teased copper key doodads, if anyone has a proclivity for other metals"

Can you elaborate on what you heard about the copper key doodads? I am a big fan of copper doodads.

@Brock

I bought three of these keychains for exactly this reason.

Would be much better if I could just buy a bunch of pin-end pieces. Next time you're with Mike, please do mention that at least one other person is interested in this option.

Look for a green one and a grey one on the A train.

@Plant-Life that's funny I'm in Brooklyn too

In July 2022 I ordered the v2 Wills with the standard 24oz wax coating for January 2025 delivery.

In May 2024 I got an email about the limited edition Battleship Grey with a light wax coating. I think they called it 18oz+ like they do in the description of the Black LE jacket that they put out in January:

• https://shipjohn.us/products/the-v2-wills-jacket-black-dry-wax
• Please note: This Jacket has a lighter waxed/oil finish than our standard Wills jackets. While still heavily water resistant, This lighter finish makes for a more moveable garment... The weight gain is nominal with this finish so we're just calling this an 18oz+ based on the twill weight plus a smidge for the finish.

I went on the website the day they released the Battleship Grey not expecting to actually be able to buy one and I was surprised when my order went through.

So, long story short is I have two Wills jackets. The light-wax version is MUCH more wearable than the fully waxed beast. If I had it to do over again I'd get the 24oz Wills in an XL even though the measurements of the L is a much better match for every other jacket in my closet. The 24oz L is a little tough to layer under and it's hard to put on a backpack with it zipped up.

All of that to say, I don't find the 24oz unwearable exactly, but it's rigid for sure.

@Alex

Hi. I have four older UHFs with the old buttons and one new UHF with the new buttons. I do like the new buttons a lot better.

I'd like to swap out the old buttons for new ones. Would you be able, please, to put me in touch with someone who can sell me four sets of new buttons?

Thanks!

Yes, I also am in desperate need of this item, please.
