I’ve never seen a wills jacket in the flesh, but I gotta say, I’ve never thought it seemed worth the hassle.
Maybe I should’ve resurrected the unpopular opinions thread for this one…

I agree @sabergirl and I'm not crazy about the pocket setup-though lt looks like a jacket you can beat on without hurting it

It can definitely take years of abuse and look better and better with time. It’s a great timeless piece of clothing. Definitely my favorite jacket ever… but I can definitely understand that not everyone wants to wear heavy greasy body armor every day lol

Yeah I think the fact that you can really just beat it up and it only gets better looking is the main appealing factor to me.
-
I got mine a few months ago and I really enjoy it as a chore style coat. It’s so heavy and it’s getting better looking every day.

Got a V2 Wills ordered for November 2022 delivery.

If I didn’t already own a wills and do a wool Hopkins pre order
so nice! -
Received my Hopkins the other day. Hard to capture the color for some reason. First impression: perfect construction, great classic fit, very well thought out pattern. I was a little surprised how lightweight it is though. Definitely expected the wool to be thicker for how expensive the jacket is. Feels like a shirt fabric but with the liner it is warm.

This happened today! So stoked on this N-1!
I’ve been looking forward to summertime but now I want that winter weather back! Did not expect this so soon, or maybe I just lost track of time…

I’m pretty sure the Green shirt is a new Patton shirt that is to be released in the near future.
Did anyone pick up the recent brown or orange versions? They looked a bit too shiny for me.
I got the brown one. It's not as shiny in real life. I don't know why I did, though. Ship John shirts never fit me quite right. I occasionally buy one because they look cool and then I end up selling it a few months later because the sleeves are too short or the fit is too boxy. They look great when they fit people though.

I've been gazing upon the Wills jackets on the Ship John website and after looking through photos and talk here I might be interested in placing an order. Looks like the soonest one would arrive would be January 2024. Is this the only way order these jackets?
I actually saw some on the Wesco Japan site, but don't know if they'll ship internationally. There's always eBay, too, but they've been selling for close to double retail on there.
-
I bought the orange Patton. I did not find the fabric shiny to start. It has become more muted after washing.
-
I'm confused…the link below has options for the Wills jacket starting in Jan 2024 but when any date is selected, it says unavailable. Does that mean they are unavailable to order yet or unavailable all the way until Nov 2025? Only the top two 2023 selections are showing "(sold out)"...

And that's awesome AF that you got a pic with Mike when you picked it up.
