Gonna end up SUPERB David..

[emceeQ]

Love the jacket Davito.  That corduroy on the collar and cuffs is just fantastic…

[MisterFreedom]

oh oh…

[davito]

Hehehe let you know hihi
Hi guys thx for the love
Juuuhuuu soon its ready to shape

Gonna be kuul 

[Arabit]

LOL you sound so excited

[grandmasterben]

I crack up when you say kuul David hahaha….but I've really been thinking about this one.  It's probably going to look super sick when it's been worn and looks less pristine... Might as well try it on next time I'm at MF! I really need a leather jacket

[Chiba J.]

Super kuul. Looking forward to the evolution of that jacket.

[davito]

Ben kuul you like it haha yeah try it on. I believe its a good option compared to the goatskin Heron, which i tried several weeks ago (not bought). I like the feeling on this MF cowhide a lot

Arabit very much excited

Chiba j rock n roll

Here we go postsoak

[ongaku]

great post soak fit! looks really good on you. Is it still possible to layer now?

I can see you are really happy with the result, especially because of Christophe's warning to soak at your own risk!

[Finn666]

was there much shrinkage going on buddy?

[davito]

Ongaku thank u yes very happy, i wear a lightweighted sweater or flannel under it. a bit snug under the arms atm but it will stretch and shape to my body. Possibly i could layer a denim jacket under it but i am usually wearing a shirt and waistcoat so I dont need another jacket. If necessary i can cover with my m51 shell parka or browns beack jacket

Rafa maybe a bit, you can see from the sleeves and shoulders that it shaped nicely compared to the first pic

Jacket is treated now with otterwax shea butter and ready to rock.

For sizing reference i am usually a 36 in MF and took a 38 in this to experiment with soaking. If i would not have been on the experiment trip I would have gone for a snug 36

[ongaku]

David,

I like the fit much better than the pre soak fit. And yes no worries it will stretch a bit..
Looking forward to see the evolution of that jacket!

[SLAB]

agreed; fit really looks spot on; looking forward to those evo pictures Davito!

[Jesselirola]

anyone have or try the indigo corduroy trousers?

those are high on my list currently, probably going to snatch them up soon.

i missed out on the iron heart cords, so might as well go the freedom route, i have a few pairs of their pants are really dig them. i'm curious if the indigo cords will fade more interestingly because they're indigo dyed, i guess we'll have to wait and see.

[mclaincausey]

If I were to guess I'd suspect those things crock like mad. But I do love the idea, I'd just be careful sitting on nice furniture at first.

[davito]

I handled the grey and the indigo in person, wonderful pants in typical MF style with a wonderful elegant touch imho. Like all of his indigo pants they gonna evolve great and gonna bleed but this is the blue love, isnt it

You get some info from MF webpage under wash & care
"For the Indigo corduroy “Trousers El Americano”, some crocking is to be expected when pairing with light colored garments. Indigo ‘stains’ from rubbing wash off eventually." (C) misterfreedom.com
