@iamntbatman congrats dude!! Stoked!!! Just a couple more years and I’ll get to share this experience with y’all!!

@Salted-Racer I was in G16 and if I had to guess, mine was made at the very end of the G16 run as it was a custom fit. I also read (on the SJ IG I believe) that they had halted Wills production for a minute there because they were waiting on backordered zippers. Mine got shipped within a day or so of making the final payment so I'm guessing there were a lot of jackets sitting around waiting for zippers but otherwise finished. I wouldn't be surprised if your G19 jacket comes pretty soon.
@Oaktavia sorry I'm home in pajamas now with bad lighting but I'll snap some side-view pics tomorrow. It's "snug" but not at the same time, if that makes sense - due to the rigidity of the fabric I have to kind of pull harder to get the sides together to zip it up, but once zipped it feels like there's plenty of room. I can fit a hoodie under it no problem. I could probably do another layer, too, but that would be getting kind of snug. I definitely put on some weight the past few months that (hopefully, hah) will be coming off soon, which would make that additional layer even more comfy.

Thanks for the info @iamntbatman your pics look great!

@Oaktavia dude gotta ask—how u finding the Wills compare to IH jackets like the 19 oz left hand twill? Much tougher to break in u think? Different animals I know but curious!

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

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

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?
