My V1 Wills came in the mail today after @Bigdog donated it for Filthy. It's a tad big on me but that's what I was hoping for. Layering with this one. What do y'all think?

[Bigdog]

I think it looks awesome! Perfect for working your forest of a yard, which is awesome by the way. Hope it works out.

[Oaktavia]

@Bigdog thanks man! We live in the forest for sure. Thanks again man for donating it. I'm wearing it around the house and it's just fun and feels great.

[Mizmazzle]

Hell yeah @Oaktavia
Aren’t you waitin on a Wills with a few others of us? One oversized one fitted??

[Mizmazzle]

@Bigdog that was crazy generous of you to donate such a nice piece to the cause!! Good on you holmes!!

@Oaktavia looks great

[tody]

@Oaktavia I had been seriously considering outbidding you on this one. I'm glad I didn't, it suits you extremely well!

[Oaktavia]

@Mizmazzle yes I am waiting on a V2 and might go with the same size with that one too, not sure. Maybe one size down with the lining would work better

Looks great would be cool to have two in different sizes

I'm thinking this is what I'll end up doing.

It’s a great fit @Oaktavia for layering! And no matter the picture it just works with everything else.

[Oaktavia]

@Karol thanks dude, it looks best with a CPO or UHF underneath it. I think I'll size down with my V2 but will have plenty of time to wear this one before that.

[Mizmazzle]

@Oaktavia now that you got one of these beasts in your arsenal, would you say they’re worth the waitin’???

[Oaktavia]

@Mizmazzle yes, they are worth the wait and the hype does hold water. I dig the V1 quite a bit and like that I can layer with it, being on the larger side and unlined make it perfect for a CPO or a UHF underneath.

I am leaning towards sizing down one with the V2, since it has a lining. I do not think I will use it as a layering/outer shell piece. I feel super fortunate to be able to eventually own both versions and to wear them differently.

If you're interested in what the waxed fabric feels like, there are Wills hats available on their website. I have three of them, as well as the waxed tote bag and their little pouch I use as a pencil case.

Forgot to respond to this - thanks dude, I appreciate it.

[Crease]

Nice @Oaktavia ! Looking very nice, glad you were able to get that to hold you over! Looks like a great fit!
