I grabbed one last night. I’m excited for it, I’m a pretty big fan of vests and I wear my wills all the time so it should be a win
-
I have the unlined wills as well as this new lined ramblin vest. I love my wills and will not be upgrading, however if I had to choose between old design and new I would pick the new wills. The unlined waxed jacket feels wet anytime I wear it with just a t shirt until it warms up. Also, the double zipper is a big upgrade, anytime I sit I have to un-zip and then button up without the bottom button.

Thanks @Wormspice just the deets I was looking for. Just another 2.25 years and I’ll know what you’re talking about!!
-
Finally bit the bullet and put down a deposit for a Wills. Not sure why I waited so long, but I’ll be waiting until August of 2025 to find out what all the hype is about!
-
@nrtphotos I've got one for OCT'23–I'm so curious to see if It lives up to the hype. I hope so

@Bren:
@Paul9221 similar to you with the weight loss in that I’m down from 175 to 155…. do you feel you could size down to the small now or still happy w the medium?
Hey Bren, totally missed this. So sorry!
Medium is absolutely perfect for me. I can wear it over a T, or over a light sweater or UHF. I think small MIGHT work over a T, but it would probably be tight.
The Wills was my one jacket when I went up to the San Francisco area for Thanksgiving. Absolutely love it!
-
Finally got my confirmation!
Looks like my Wills is going to be completed a couple months early
EDIT*
Here is my complete Ship John collection. Mostly hats until the Wills arrives

Finally got my confirmation!
Looks like my Wills is going to be completed a couple months earlyNice! That might be good news for me too…although mine isn't supposed to be ready until August 2024.
-
Mine was slated for April I believe? So yea yours should be sooner than later as well!

@Danimal506 how did you find out it would be months early? That’s exciting!

They emailed me Friday and said it will be ready in 6-8 weeks.
Which puts it near February. With time left to wear it before summer!I’m Group 14 which was initially for April 2023.
-
@Danimal506 Sweet–I'm G20 so, hopefully, I'll receive a similar email down the road!
-
I'm G16 so maybe I'll get mine in time for some wear before summer hits!
Edit: Just today got the email about sizing confirmation for G16, which was supposed to be June 2023 but could be February. Sweet. Still trying to nail down sizing but am pretty hyped.
-
Just got the email confirming my size, so I'm super psyched to say mine will be arriving earlier than expected as well.
Curious — do the sleeves scrunch up with time on these? I'm going with an L regular because I'm not really into the the body looking overly long in any way. The 25.75 seems just fine for sleeves, but I do wonder if they'll actually get shorter as some creasing in the arms sets in. Anybody have experience with this?
Fwiw I'm 6'2" but any time I've ever ordered anything in a long size, I've regretted it.
-
I can't wait to get that email myself. Funny, I'm also 6'2 and I've regretted it anytime I didn't go for LT lol!
-
I'm doing a bit of research… it does seem from looking at pics that the arms do accordion up a bit with wear. This might be the time I do wanna opt for long.

I originally had a large regular and at first I was happy with it but the arms shrunk up a bit and the shoulders got tighter - traded for a large long and never looked back. Wore mine today actually. I’m 6’1” 185-190 ish lbs.
