The Wills Jacket always has been and always will be a beast. Throughout the years it’s gone through some refinements but none as combed through as our new V2… Like putting that final brush stroke on a long worked on painting, we believe we have arrived at what this jacket always wanted to be. The mid-weight and sturdy lining separates your body from the heavy waxed twill. The beefy double zipper lets you open up the waist if you’re sitting on the bike or on a log around the fire. The same tried and true 24oz waxed twill will shield you from the elements and hold up for years and years to come… all the while developing a patina that shows the life you live in your waxed cotton body armor. We hope you love the new details as much as we do. We have also taken careful steps to reevaluate and change up the ordering process, so that hopefully it is easier to get your hands on one.

An important note on shading: Fabric production has its variances and the industry term for this is shading. From batch to batch, even roll to roll, there will be slight variances in the color of this fabric. Add wax batches into the equation for another factor in the final color of this particular fabric. We've included photos of jackets in different lighting and a photo of jackets made from different batches of the same fabric to help illustrate the range of colors your jacket could wind up being. All in all, coupled with the amazing wear patterns inherent with waxed fabrics, this will be part of the uniqueness of your Wills jacket. 

Thank you for your support.

Ordering

The flood gates are open on the Mighty Wills jacket pre-orders. Here’s some information to help with your ordering process:

• Pre-orders are divided into groups that indicate the delivery date for completed jacket (example: first group is 'G1 - March 2022 Delivery'). You will select a delivery group as an option, which is based on next availability. It is guaranteed we will meet or exceed these delivery dates.

• We have a freshly designed "Waitin' On A Wills" keychain with a serial number of your jacket order. Domestic customers: keychains will automatically be sent out within a few days of receiving your deposit. International customers: keychains will be held and shipped with your jacket when completed to avoid additional customs fees that may incur.

• 1 - 3 days after your purchase: you will receive an email from our team following up your pre-order to assign your jacket number and confirm that all your order details are correct.

• 3 weeks prior to your jacket production: you will receive a size confirmation email. This is to ensure that your jacket will be made in the correct size, especially if sizing has changed from your initial deposit date. Your jacket will not be made until you have confirmed your size. You must confirm your size within 2 weeks of this email, otherwise you will forfeit your place in line. Your deposit will be honored, but whenever you confirm you will be placed at the end of the deposit list for production.

• When your jacket starts production: you will receive an email directing you to complete your final payment invoice (including shipping options and any custom fees). Your jacket will only ship once the final payment invoice has been completed. Per our shop policy, you have 30 days to pay your final payment invoice, otherwise you forfeit your place in line. Again your deposit will be honored, but whenever you pay you will be placed at the end of the deposit list for production. 

• If you are local and picking up your jacket, please wait until you have confirmation for a pick up time as the final payment invoice does not indicate your jacket is finished and ready!

• More information can be found over at our FAQ page and our Deposit Policy page!
