@northsouthdenimguy I'm currently saving up for one

this just landed and I can confirm that it is very, very nice.......

(and as a bonus it's also got six pockets!)

@rewseph said in Ship John:

would anyone who owns both a wills and a kristofferson mind commenting on the sizing difference?

i own a wills and the shoulder to shoulder seems a lot smaller in the kristofferson but i’ve also heard people say sizing up was a mistake for them.

@rewseph I have both jackets in size Large, and the actual shoulder measurement for both is 19" across, so they pretty much fit the same.......I would say you should be ok with your Wills size in the Kristofferson too - well, at least in my experience anyway!

I always loved the surprise of receiving the vouchers, but in no way do I expect them - I love iron heart for what you produce, and any changes to help that continue is fine with me. I'm not here for any freebies but because I really appreciate the quality of your products and service.....thats what gets my loyalty every time

@Brock yeah they do settle down and shape to you with a bit of wear.....mine feels perfect now after a few months

I love ship John, and really want to pick up a denim Wills, but even the thought of trying to get anything gives me IBS and high blood pressure

@TheChef17 I really want to try and snag one of these......been wanting one for ages!

@BalticBob yeah, you are better off starting with it slightly bigger because it will shrink and mold to your body, especially if it gets wet.....so I think the sizing looks good

@ARNC I saw them in Manchester last night.....amazing and I am still recovering

@SonnyTheElder I was wearing my grizzly in the supermarket last winter and some guy said to me 'my wife would be stroking your back if she saw your jacket'....I just smiled and said 'well, thats the idea' - but he didn't find it funny.....

@Johnnyutah247 sorry I can't comment on the comparison with the other boots (as I haven't tried them) but my RDT Caspers arrived today and all I can say is they are an incredibly nice boot, you can't really go wrong with them.

it seems this one has been insanely popular as its sold out pretty much everywhere - just wondering what it is about it, just the colour choice or maybe the more muted/faded look?......or does everyone just love a bit of watermelon?

@mecken88 will keep you updated.....but to be honest it doesn't feel that heavy to me, just the same sort of weight as a good leather jacket really, but then again maybe I am just used to heavier jackets these days.

the only thing I do find strange about it though is the zip feels like it is on the wrong side to me - as in the zip pull is on the right hand side of the zip instead of the left (when wearing the jacket) - just feels wrong!

@Denimhead-0 yeah, I would say so, I am usually a large and it pretty much fits like a glove

@dugafola I got it second hand online, but it’s in great condition and was a good price - I haven’t had much luck trying to buy things new from ship John directly as the demand is always too high and I am too slow…..but really happy I finally managed to pick one up

@Mizmazzle exactly what Derek111 said…..it’s really supple and soft to the touch and just gets more so with wear. It’s easily my most comfortable jacket, just the right thickness and weight to feel substantial but not too heavy - just perfect

@Denimhead-0 To be fair, it probably is worth dying for
