Ship John

I imagine the hats are all made and ready to ship. I know they aren’t made “in-house” at their Portland shop.

@Danimal506 I was actually wondering if they made the hats in house.

[Danimal506]

@Mizmazzle I can’t remember where I read it. But they fall under their “trusted partners” umbrella for manufacturing. I don’t mind, personally. The build quality is solid and the materials are always unique.

To my knowledge, the in house stuff is most of the clothing like jackets and denim goods and the bags and leather goods are all in house. But like the gloves and t shirts and hats are all made from outside manufacturers made to Ship John specs.

Re the delays in the Sashiko shirts; I wonder if they’re having difficulty actually constructing the shirts… can’t imagine that 16 oz is easy to work with. I’ve been quite frustrated with the ‘pay us half now, we’ll deliver when we deliver’ model, but I’m in the minority, as SJ remains hella popular

I just got shipping notification for my sashiko hat.

Serious question for those of us who are follicley challenged/with shaved heads.

Is noggin crocking something to take into consideration?

[Mizmazzle]

@GraemeE hahahaha. It was when I got the indigo bandana. Had indigo black eyes the first couple hikes I went on.

@Mizmazzle this is the mental pic I have

@bluemantra

Has your Sashiko cap been ships

Thanks to @Mizmazzle for allowing me to jump into his Wills jacket queue position and to @Anesthetist for hand carrying this jacket over to the UK for me. Very pleased with this jacket and looking forward to using it in the colder months (a bit too warm in the UK here for a change).

I went with a regular Large size and I think it has worked out OK. I wanted a slimmer fit as we don't really get the super cold winters in the UK so no huge need to layer up in it. I wanted a trim fit with a shirt or sweat underneath.

Ship John were helpful with sizing enquiries. For reference I am an XL in most IH shirts and Large in most IH jackets. in the pictures I am wearing a thin white Merino t-shirt under the jacket.

Got a tracking number for my cap. Just waiting for UPS to pick it up.

@ddtrash looking super sharp bro!! That jacket is no joke! What a beast. Glad you’re happy with it. Looks like it can handle anything you can throw at it!!

[Kasi]

May consider this jacket.

If someone has a well worn in Wills Jacket, I'd like to see some pics.

I agree with the previous comments regarding the lack of communication regarding the Sashiko shirts. I’m pretty over the constant delays and lack of clear communication and time
frames. The products are excellent and extremely well made but the associated headaches make me wonder sometimes.

That said, I’m expecting I’ll be receiving an email confirming my G42 Wills in the next month or so - a full year ahead of schedule!

These no foam models sure are tall right out of the box....
Gave it a hot soak and half air dry and drying it the rest of the way on my gourd
