Mister Freedom

[Snowy]

Scotty, it's the same as I PM'd you the other night. Road Champs are always the same leather and colour. There's been 3 batches of Road Champs now. All same base leather, the way it evolves each time is totally different. They also change colour dramatically in different lights….

[Snowy]

Here's some of the many faces of the RoadChamps;

First batch was different color, almost black… After that they have all been more on the brown side but like snowman said... Chameleon like

[Snowy]

^Good point. Same leather, but painted/treated differently.

Another visit, more stuff to try on!

I think that I am going to pick up the ranch blouse in the future. Seems like a great every day kind of thing!

Also, bronco champ is ridonk

ben, time for some badass boots i´d say

[davito]

A serious bleeder at the beginning and I love it. Cant wait to wear it again after work or maybe when doing a break with Jessy in between

[grandmasterben]

Nice choice David!

And rafa, I'm really beginning to agree with you…..actually went to leather soul yesterday with the goal of trying on some Alden's but they had nothing even near my size :/. I'm going to union today I think to try on some visvim....

[mclaincausey]

What's your size?

RRRRRRRRRRR CCCCCCCCCCCCsssss

[grandmasterben]

True 9.5. I was thinking about snowys, but decided against it because to drop coin like that you have to be completely in love.

I really like the looks of something like the Alden Roy boot, viberg service boots with plain toe, or visvim Virgils.

Ben get some Roy's before the price goes up again!

[tatmantall]

Roy's look great I'd just worry about Alden's QC after my nearly 18 month fiasco

Thx Ben

Size 38 indigo droverblouse worn over a rising sun cattleman and a double diamond waistcoat

[grandmasterben]

Looks great.  So you think this one runs smaller than the blanket?  I haven't tried this one on actually as the original blanket drover is the one for me 

[davito]

Ben the blanket is thicker than the meltonwool imho. I took a 36 in the blanket but would be better off over the long run with a 38 like in that.
This one is beautiful too, indigo bleeds everywhere haha on the neck hands on the pants lool but i like it like that. The contrast after some heavy wear gonna be amazing.
So i gonna say try same size or in doubt size up depending how u like to fit the jacket. However a 40 was too big on me

[derivative666]

Only you can pull that jacket off haha

[davito]

Thx Sir appreciated

[Snowy]

Ben if my RC 9.5's don't fit, should I PM you first?

(and PS, glad you made another trip in there. Would love to hear more about the experience of it. Stuff like how it smells, how it sounds, the environment, any novelties etc etc).

[grandmasterben]

Maybe snowy but I really gotta think about this. From the forum I have an idea that tracking down the right pair of boots can be a very, very expensive and tedious process.

So basically it's super easy to miss. There's two small openings in the front of a red building and that's it. Ceilings are pretty high, there's two stories: the first story near the front has mister freedom stuff, and the rest has vintage things that's been picked up. There's a bunch of vintage. On top is Christophes workplace and you're not supposed to go up there…

Smells kind of vintagey but not bad. Music is esoteric, I think it was something of the Spanish sort haha. It is usually quiet, most of the times I've been there I'm the only customer....but always fun to visit!

[Snowy]

Thanks for the details mate, it helps paint the picture. I've seen at least 1 video of the place but it was very partial. And there's no smell-a-vision on the internet yet. Smell is big :).

(and hopefully I don't need to drop you a line ;))
