Ship John

Here goes nothin!

@Kasi Thanks

After 30 minutes, starting at around 190f cooling down to around 120f. It’s now drying outside in the 100f degrees Texas heat. A little sun and then shade.

And here is a fit pic after it dried for two hours outside. The bill got wet but held up fine. The patch shrunk a bit but seems to be doing good. The fit is smaller and I like it much better. Although I didn’t mind the pre-soak fit either, I wanted this hat to be more broken in feeling.

A couple days of wear. Here’s a quick playground pic

@goosehd did your shirt ship?

I'm interested to see how those look out in the real world

[goosehd]

[Danimal506]

@Mizmazzle Thanks!

Has anyone got one these ship with order

This caps amazing too

Does the broken twill sit as high as the sashiko?

[Danimal506]

@Kasi They gave me one in a giveaway I won. They’re beer/soda koozies. To my knowledge they’re supposed to keep your hand from getting cold when holding a cold drink. I’ve never been a koozie guy. But they’re good for identifying your drink at a party or bbq.

@bluemantra Id say so, yes. Maybe slightly less high

In action ️️

[Mizmazzle]

@Kasi I really like the broken twill one. Maybe more even than the sashiko.

@Mizmazzle
Thinking the same️️

Looking good boys

[Danimal506]

@Mizmazzle @Kasi Yea the broken twill is very nice in person! Not sure if I’m gonna soak mine or naturally wear it in for a while first.

[Mizmazzle]

@Danimal506 fun to have both hats to kinda play around with like that.

I just grabbed a broken twill one. Never had a ship John hat.

Just ordered the Langlitz Leathers x Ship John Goatskin Wills Jacket in tan.
Anyone got any experience with the Wills goat skin? Thickness, tannery, chrome or veg.
Guessing it will get nice rolls, but not the patina as the veg tanned cow hide Wills.

@torleif congrats on scoring one of them! I also preordered the black one. This is not a new leather and Langlitz has been using it for a very long time. I have a Langlitz jacket made out of the black goatskin. It's very comfortable brand new. It's light, but not too light, and easy to move around in.

The leather used is a tan leather. You will not see a drastic color change like you would with veg tan leather. It will pretty much stay the same color like any dyed leather, white, brown, etc.

@Danimal506
I just got this hat and am thinking about trying to shrink it down a bit. Would you say the hat shrank in height? The crown is definitely higher than my other SJ hats.
