@Oaktavia hell yeah brotha man. Wearing it in the house right now and feel like the definition of a bull in a china shop.

[Oaktavia]

@flannel-slut haha gotta break it in somehow. I'm stoked to see how the XL will fit me after the XXL was just a tad too wide/big.

[Oaktavia]

Here is my XL Version 2 Waxed Wills Jacket. This thing is a freakin' beast and definitely feels intense compared to the one I had before that was already broken in. The box itself surprised me how physically heavy it was. Wearing it today to work all day to start to break it in properly. I like the fit of the XL over the XXL for sure. I also like the brown color of this one compared to the lighter, tan color of the V1 I had.

@Oaktavia It sure looks like the wait was worth it.
I cant wait to see how are going to evolve it!

Hey @Oaktavia whats your thoughts on the V2 liner? Does it improve comfort and wearability?

[Oaktavia]

@Mizmazzle I was unsure about the idea of a liner, but I love it. It is a herringbone pattern that is pretty thin. I was worried it would be too thick and take away from the fit of the jacket. It does not. I prefer the lined version for sure.

@Oaktavia Looks pretty beasty man

[Mizmazzle]

@Oaktavia welp, kinda glad I’ve got another year before mine comes!! Gotta get to work on some of these other pieces first!

[Oaktavia]

@Mizmazzle that's what I thought but mine came 11 months early

Keeping an eye on that junk mail box!

Looking badass @Oaktavia !! nice and crispy, looking forward to seeing the progress dude! I've found a love for waxed canvas after getting mine, canvas in general!
They are so far ahead on their production, wonder when they will open the books back up.

Edit: i guess this is actually twill but still making me eye waxed canvas stuff

[Oaktavia]

@Crease hell yeah man! I love mine, it feels awesome to wear, that's for sure!

I reached out to Ship John yesterday in regards to emails people have missed due to subject headings and junk boxes etc. They were super cool about it and said even if someone misses their email they’re not dropping their order or anything. Just that they’d put them in the next production group once contact is made.

Also, they informed me my G38 group due in 5/25 was probably a handful of months out right now as they are currently on G33!!!
Holy BaJezzus!!

@Mizmazzle interesting, I’m G42, quoted August of 2025 at time of purchase. I’m going to roughly assume I might see it this coming Summer. My only hope is that they aren’t cutting corners to get these times down. I purchased a “seconds” Ramblin vest about a year ago and can’t find any defects, the quality is phenomenal.

Bob Wills is still king.

@Dstauffer it looks like it fits you perfectly dude. Pairs well with those pants, what are they?
