@dert As far as my experience goes, I wear a Large V2 Wills jacket and it’s a little roomy with a t-shirt. (I like it that way due to the heft of the jacket) And with a UHF I can get it on, but it’s not something I’d wear out and about comfortably.
My chest measures 22.75”
I don’t own any other SJ jackets, but I do wear their pocket T in an XL.
If a lost a couple more pounds, a light hoodie under the Wills would be primo!

This was tough for me as well. I didn't have any Ship John pieces when my Wills order was ready for sewing. I measured a bunch of the jackets in my closet and ended up ordering the Large size Regular length Wills, mostly because I have a leather jacket that has similar measurements to the Large Regular Wills and I thought the weight of the leather jacket would be similar to the weight of the waxed canvas.
I am 6'-1" and 190 lbs. My UHFs are size Large. I can easily wear a Large UHF under my Large Wills.
I'm happy with my size choice. Best advice I can give is to be guided by the measurements of the other jackets you have and that you like the fit of. Hope this helps. I think they have a remake policy if you order something and then change your mind to go bigger or smaller, so, worst case, you'll get the size you need a couple of months later than your first shot at it.

@chadstone30 I concur, I went through the same process when I had to size mine. I did some measurements of existing jackets and pretty much everything pointed me to the Large Regular Wills. I also had a few e-mail conversations with the staff at Ship - John who were both helpful and knowledgeable.
It was a bit critical the sizing for me as I am UK based and did not fancy the shipping costs and general hassle of returning a wrong sized jacket. Fortunately the homework paid off.

@Mister_Brue I think I got it back in 2018. I’m pretty sure it was the first hat model Mike released.

Crusty old hats are the best!

@GraemeE thanks dude! It’s such a great jacket! And I agree about the waxed wills, I hardly wear mine because it’s so beefy
I have a broken twill rambling jacket I need to wear more also! -

I really want one of the ship John 'Kristofferson' jackets, but alas it seems it would be easier to get hold of unicorn tears.....

@Darth-fader that is incredible

I think they are doing another pre-order soon.

@Darth-fader rumors say they are gonna make a third run of these later in 2025. Still gonna be a pain to get your hands on one. But it’s a chance at least
