Thanks fr all the comments guys, it's so awesome there. Tat, I didn't buy anything as I really need to sell some stuff first but here are some thoughts…
Pensacola fits tts and is definitely cool but imo not a perfect cold-weather jacket because of the large knitted part at the bottom.
Mullholland master is awesome. Probably the first jacket id buy as it is the ultimate for cold/wet. I tried a 38 and it fit well, so tts.
Drover is fucking amazing!! I want it so bad but it's pretty damn impractical. I would size up one on this because I tried on a 38 and it was very constricting. The pic in my last post is a 40. I hardly ever suggest sizing up so take this to heart.
Ben awesome calico well done. Why do you think drover is impractical, i assume weather wise? I read a lot from Cali guys wearing it. We have hot summer weather around here too but in some cooler summer nights its so cool to wear with just a tee.
Re sizing depends how u wanna fit it, i wear a 36 tts its snug could have gone one up like u suggest but then i was not happy with a 38 as i did not like too much room around my chest and shoulders. But yeah its really on the thight side due to the cut of the wool and the inner flanell (the one used for the turquoise Ranch hand shirt btw) around the Body as well as some NOS hickory inner lining in the arm parts.
the 40 looks great on u
maybe you think about it again 
I am lurking around the mulholland for years i think its such a great piece of art, it suits you very good as wellThat pattern on that is awesome! Also for those interested, the cardigan is up on the mf site now, and a significantly smaller price that of the Japanese link posted a few pages back
Yeeees voila

Hmm maybe impractical isn't the best description, but instead impractical for me. Currently, I don't have a nice jacket for rainy/"crappy" weather (even though I love cold weather!) and I think it would just make way more sense from a utility perspective for me to pick up something that covers that base first and foremost.
I already have a few jackets for non-rainy days that I love and keep me warm enough. Got to make sure that I'm not buying too many things and wear everything I got you know?
That being said, I seriously love the drover and still might pick it up if I get the funds somehow because it truly is a work of art. Probably my most favorite looking jacket of all time.

Yes, a really nice leather jacket is in my very long term plans….. But I love the Himel heron so I would probably go with that. It will definitely have to wait at least a year or two
but that's okay, I got plenty of time....Also, on the topic of mister freedom, I'm not really sure what it is but I think MF might be my favorite brand. Recently I've found myself just looking for really unique and interesting fabrics/patterns and MF just fits the bill so well....

x-post from BR thread MF related
How is the denim on those MFs? Which jean is it?
mclaincausey, this is the Cali lot 44 (the one with cinch back) from the American sportswear NOS collection (first cali lot 54 is without cinch). there will be a lot 64 coming in this fall sportsman collection. Those are pure straight fits with quite a leg opening. I like that.
denim is cool, 35 diff fabrics were used
of course NOS, cone mills US produced 12 oz. mine is marked "PXUV". You will find some info on MF page or in Christophe's blog as well as in this link -

Never thought I'd say I love a cardigan…
-
It looks even more killer I think than the picture. Those buttons look lighter than other product shots, that may be a prototype.
-
Very interested in getting the indigo cardigan….but what color buttons does it actually come with? All the different pictures have different buttons, lol.
-
specs taken from MF page. Christophe probably switched the buttons from the natural to his indigo one
or it seems they come either or but I am sure you can get what you like when emailing them- Wool Jersey body and sleeves, ribbed end knit.
- One piece body wrap knit (no side seams).
- Milanese knit button placket.
- Wide wrist knit cuffs for roll-up.
- Fold over double layer pockets.
- Blind stitched bottom hem, folded end knit.
- Natural Corozo buttons, aka vegetable ivory or coconut wood.
-
My guess is you need to call them about the buttons, they could be almost any shade based on that description. As mentioned, I'd want the dark ones, and it should be exactly as you want it for that kind of cheddar.
-
One closeup pic shows blue buttons too…
-
-
I believe davito's right on about the blue buttoned one being a sample. In the description for the cardigan Christophe mentions that the buttons and tag were sewn on after the dying process so as to maintain their natural color.
Really thinking about trying to grab one of these in natural…
