    thanks Finn mate yeah they are really nice, high instep, vintage toe, cowhide, cats paw heel…beautiful. the road champs are for sure in the MF top class but still there are some top pieces like the deck jacket or the peacoats (which seems unfortunately too bulky for me) or other garments from each collection. I am very grateful I got these engineers as I was eyeing them for a long time, thankfully they were reserved for me but was not sure to pull the trigger but thought common I only live once so I got em finally...  😃

    tatmantall you are welcome, no prob

    and here some fits of the road champs wearing new era, MF mechanic sweat-shirt, 634WH and the champs...

    🙂

    Cheers,
    David

          Hi lamdog nice to see your pair too, thx 🙂

          Thx much Ben. The little guy is Barbabeau from the early 70's child series Barbabapa. I have the barbamama too, those are repros I got from a zurich art exhibitor some years ago. They are produced in France in small quantities dont know if still available. I love Barbabapa since I was a kid and they smile at me everyday.

          Here some info on the characters and barbabapa in general if interested

                Hi Friday thx a lot. I got them from my trusted friends at VMC. these road champs are NOS from the first run in 2008, I think they are completely sold out. I am not sure if there are even some left at MF in LA from the 2nd run in August 2012 depending also on sizes. just drop a note to John at MF, he will be able to help you out with some information. thx again.

                Cheers,
                David

                          Feeling like a ranch hand today…

                          I hadn't been wearing it as much as I should've but after a wash and a little time in the dryer it shrunk about 2" in the length. Perfect 🙂

                            Did it only shrink in length? Mine is just a little baggier than I like. Wondering if I can take care of that with a little dryer action. Yours is one wash correct?

                              Mine is the one-wash. I didn't take measurements unfortunately, but I would say it shrunk a little everywhere (especially the length.) I only did a cold wash and low dry for about 25 minutes, so I'd say that if you upped the heat a little you'd probably get it to shrink. Good luck!

                                    It really is. I ordered the indigo one from Japan already but the white one is for sure on par. I didn't think so originally but the fabric is gnarly

                                        The indigo one is wild because of how the pattern is dyed into the fabric, part of it is discharge dyed then part of it is discharged to turn the fabric white then a red dot is put OVER the discharged area.

                                          The indigo one is wild. I love it

                                          Honestly my favorite pattern of anything anywhere.
