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

finally managed to snag a second hand wills!.....went for a size large and it fits perfectly, with enough room to get a hoodie/UHF underneath, so very pleased with it.......I am really liking the quality and fit of the ship John stuff, (and the gold hardware they use too) - definitely worth trying to get your mitts on one

@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

Just another update (spam) of the evolution of my y2 chore jacket…..a bit more of the camel underneath is starting to come through…..I just love this thing more, every time I wear it

My Gibson wallet has just arrived! - so of course now I have my eye on the new EZ slider…..but then again, i know what it’s like trying to buy stuff off their site, so I don’t have high hopes

@mclaincausey totally agree, I am the same and I pretty much despise having to even have a mobile phone - but I think its not too difficult to see where all this technology is heading.....

not so much a rant (but it is a bit random, so putting it here) I was thinking how, In the distant future when we no longer have actual phones and the technology is just embedded directly under the skin(!) how all the old vintage denim with mobil phone fades in the pockets will probably be regarded as very cool and highly desired.

@derek111 looking amazing…..in my experience with Y2 horsehide jackets, it’s best when they feel slightly too big to begin with, but with wear (and a good dose of rain) then really shrink down and start to shape perfectly. My red chore jacket is probably the most comfortable to wear of them all

@mecken88 it is…..the quality is spot on and it’s really nice and warm, just feel so lucky to be able to get hold of one!

Finally!.....managed to get my paws on one of these bad boys....(chefs kiss)

@flannel-slut unfortunately my aura is much more Jar Jar Binks....

I tried - I failed

love the way this jacket is evolving already.......

@derek111 I have one on pre-order......I actually bought one in the initial release, but couldn't get my preferred size and had to send it back as it was just little too small (thought I could get away with it!) - but as you say they are fantastic - the chore jacket is probably my favourite design

ordered this at the end of last year from 'Black Bear Brand' and it has just turned up - it is one of their hand dyed versions of the Y2 N1

@BalticBob I messed up on the sizing so it was a little too tight for me - I have since learnt my 'true' size
