Mister Freedom

[davito]

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

Only you can pull that jacket off haha

[davito]

Thx Sir appreciated

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 ;))

[Snowy]

Okay, 9.5's are on. defo better on the toe. Have been walking around the carpeted part of the house for the last 10 minutes and they feel good all over.  Now to walk outside f*ck the wooden sole up and kiss good bye return ability :|

[grandmasterben]

Oh wow you already got them?? I thought you'd have to wait a long time. Great that they fit so far!

[mclaincausey]

Yeah I thought Snowy was stretch leather or amputating flesh with his first pair. Sweet Snow, welcome to the happy fraternity of Road Champions

[Snowy]

Yeah they're here. I purchased this pair before I'd sold the other pair. I was committed to getting a pair of these working. Credit cards are good sometimes ;).

The guys @ MF were as always ever so helpful, as soon as I reached out saying that they weren't fitting so well they placed this pair of 9.5's to the side incase I wanted them. True gentlemen.

2 hrs of non-stop walking and all is well :). No toes coming off, hopefully :).

[Snowy]

It was love at first sight last time, and it continues to be the case. Sorry Ben :).

Really great jacket Davito. Look forward to sharing in it's evolution with you.

[Arabit]

Really amazing toe shape.

[davito]

Snowy thx buddy

Very happy for u you got the champs on your feet now, they look great, wear em well. Love the colorway on this batch

[Anesthetist]

Damn Snowy, I am truly jealous!! Those look fantastic. I don't know if I could do the whole engineer boot thing but if I tried it would be with those.

[Snowy]

Thanks Gents. This time around over a full day of walking and the dream is continuing. Tight to get on/off but very secure throughout the day, very minimal heel slip. I'm about to throw away the box they came in, woo hoo!

[DVD Connoisseur]

Just purchased the denim Prairie Shirt (16.5") and indigo corduroy El Americano waistcoat (42"). I'm unsure if to do an initial cold soak on the Prairie Shirt as I'm contemplating wearing it raw and straight out of the box.

Has anyone on the board experience of this particular shirt? Just wondering what's best in the long run.

[FurattoHeddo]

I'd love to see a fitpic of the indigo cord jacket (and give that shirt a soak) …
