^ Instructions. I did Option 3. They were bang-on with the expected shrinkage.

^ Pre-wash. Very shiny.

^ Post-wash. A lot of the sheen came off and it did puff up like the instructions said.

With the IH-888D.

Bought my pair in March 2021.  First pics are from a month in.  The rest of the pics are from today.  Zero washes.  Zero soaks.  Mostly weekend wear.  I don't wear them in the summer months.  I remember it being extremely difficult to get them buttoned up the first time I put them on, and they were painfully stiff, but I also remember being shocked how quickly they softened up.  This is my only pair of Iron Heart denim pants.  I have two pairs of Naked and Famous, one 12.5oz and one 19oz.  The Iron Hearts are my favorite by far.

Yeah, looks pretty uniform.

Was waiting to see if someone would mention this. All the New Era 59fifty fitted MLB hats are super high. I don't like it, but that's been the look of the MLB Authentic hats forever as far as I know.

This was tough for me as well. I didn't have any Ship John pieces when my Wills order was ready for sewing. I measured a bunch of the jackets in my closet and ended up ordering the Large size Regular length Wills, mostly because I have a leather jacket that has similar measurements to the Large Regular Wills and I thought the weight of the leather jacket would be similar to the weight of the waxed canvas.

I am 6'-1" and 190 lbs. My UHFs are size Large. I can easily wear a Large UHF under my Large Wills.

I'm happy with my size choice. Best advice I can give is to be guided by the measurements of the other jackets you have and that you like the fit of. Hope this helps. I think they have a remake policy if you order something and then change your mind to go bigger or smaller, so, worst case, you'll get the size you need a couple of months later than your first shot at it.

I missed out on these when they were first released in December and was bummed. For some reason I was looking at the listing again today and saw that they had (1) M, (1) L, (1) XL, and (1) XXL in stock. I bought the large. If you're M/XL/XXL go take a look. Will be waiting a long time for a day cold enough to wear it though.

Thank you guys!

Hi Alex and Crew. Any update you can share, please, on the next batch of these? Bummed I missed out on the February restock!

Digging the new platform!

Alright, I need some help here.

The die is cast. Carry on. I didn't soak mine and I have no regrets.
