Hi @andyone , I do really like the waxed canvas version of the Wills jacket ( the leather not so much) Mine hasn't been worn much as I received it at the start of spring so it looks pretty much the same as it did in March.Hi Boyo
The Wills seems to be a really nice jacket! Would you mind sharing some pics after it has been broken in?
UGH this thread bump reminds me I still haven't heard squat about the ramblin' jacket I pre-ordered in March...
Damn I must've missed that! last I saw was a "things are coming along" end of July. Sweet! Good timing!Hi @andyone , I do really like the waxed canvas version of the Wills jacket ( the leather not so much) Mine hasn't been worn much as I received it at the start of spring so it looks pretty much the same as it did in March.
As per his Insta, we should be getting the final invoice in a few days and the jacket shortly there after.
Let me know when you get your invoice Boyo and I'll do the same for you...I saved the down payment confirmation receipt but would not be the least bit surprised if some fell through the cracks. That feels like it was a LONG time ago.Sorry @ton312, just double checked was from the “September Newsletter” email dated 9/8/2020

I just signed up for the newsletter as well. I had all but forgotten about this jacket and could've easily overlooked it. Seems like every few months I'd get an "Oh yeah!" reminder. Hopefully we can all put this one to bed soon!I got the same email.
Between the Pandemic and civil unrest I bet things have not been ship shape at Ship John lately.I just signed up for the newsletter as well.

Add recent fires to it, and the fact that the owner had his skull cracked by robbers 2 yrs ago, and it does not add up to a pretty picture over there.
hatchet is practically tomahawk right?
That's kind of a funny question to ask on this site where price and value is often artistically arrived at, but I think I hear you. Look at Belstaff or Barbour prices and you'll see this is priced ok. However 24 oz is highly unusual - Barbour is around 8 oz. So this stuff's point of difference is, shall we say, robustness? It is super thick. I actually think that waxed cotton at that thickness may not be too practical but I would be interested to hear back from owners. I suspect tearing along creases may be a risk.
I wonder if it is worth ever going thicker than 14oz for waxed cotton. To me the obsession with escalating thickness or weight reminds me of those supermarket razors that keep adding blades on the principle that more is better. I am not convinced this is the case but it may be. Whatever the case the jacket looks great.
