Mister Freedom
-
@Anesthetist i went TTS with a 32". The waist started out at 34" and came down to 33" after a hot wash. Would have liked them to shrink down to 32" but having the cinch back is nice. If they offered a size 31 I might have bought that instead and I'm glad I didn't because these are so comfortable. I really love a higher rise. I don't know why low rise is so popular.
After wearing these I want to get some mister freedom denim now. i need the inseam to be like 35" after shrinking though so I think most of the jeans won't work for me. Anybody here get the lot 44 Californians? Looks like all of those have long inseams. Wouldn't know which denim to choose… Still quite a few options in size 32. If I can sell the flat head shirt I just bought I think I might have to purchase some lot 44s!

Lot 44 are classic, i love mine. Good choice for a nice MF jeans. 50s straight fit Brando style @Jeef
Edit: be careful with the diff fabrics as each of them behave differently shrinkwise when soaked/washed. I have the fabric which was provided to the retailers and had no probs after a soak and a machine wash, fits spot on.
35 diff fabrics were used, all 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

Thanks for the info Davito. I didn't know they were all made from old Cone denim. I'll have to do some research before I decide which one to go with. It's funny, but not too long ago these jeans would have seemed a little too crazy for me. Now I really want a nice straight cut with a high rise. I don't even mind the cinch back or the pocket design.

Great pick up with the chinos Jeef. They are a great alternitive to denim,super comfy fit and the olive green looks good with so many things.. I went TTS with mine as well if anyone was considering getting some.
-
@davito thanks! Those look great, perfect straight fit. @Hereforthebeer I love the color of the chinos. They look great wih the appaloosa shirt or just a navy t shirt or a gray sweat shirt

I'd call mister freedom. Great people.

Anyone on here have any experience with the me trooper boots and sizing? Wear an 11 in viberg, converse, alden. 12 in vans. Thanks in advance.
Trooper boots are supposedly sized same as Road Champs - based on that, I'd suggest up 1/2 size from Viberg. In other words, 11.5. Or up 1 (size 12) if you want a roomier fit.
Others with RCs will undoubtedly have an opinion.

Contact the manufacturer? Rather than rely on random opinions on the internet? You my friend are a loose cannon.
(meant in a joking and not snarky sense…)

Hehe I'm a lil cray cray like that

I agree about contacting MF, @eyeq8402 . That said if they say it's the same as the RC. I tried on the RC a few months back. The 11.5 fit perfect. I wear 11 in Viberg, 12 in Vans and 11.5 in Alden (Indy's are a bit on the big side)

I was just speaking my opinion from personal experience - I have a lot of boots - of course folks can take it or leave it…
From the MF online store: "The Trooper lasts are those of our Road Champ. If you are familiar with our engineer boot, the fit is the same, if only more ‘flexible’ around the arch/ankle due to lacing. There is no real magic formula to advise on sizing, as everyone’s foot proportions/sock preferences vary. However, according to feedback, sizing down HALF your sneaker size seems to work. If you are a 10 in New Balance sneakers, you are probably a 9½ in the Trooper. And like they say, it always works, sometimes."
And I agree with Mcclain, they are great people. Very helpful to me.

RC last and narrow toe shape doesnt fit every feet, usually its half down from what i read and correspond with MF. I was wearing my usual 8 in them (half down from my nike size 8.5) fit was not bad but they were a bit to wide for my feet so i had too much slip, which i also couldnt handle by using an insole (toes touched front then) or by using the straps. 7.5 would have def killed my toes. Upsizing to 8.5 i would have swimmed in those guys. Unfortunately they had to go then but maybe i will try some of the newer batches in future if i have the chance to do so and they are still around.
Since the trooper is a laced boot i believe size 8 would fit me well and comfy as i like my toes having enough room (i dont own one so please dont take me on that :))

Davito, did you try a 3/4 insole? I've found them to be a good option for when you need an insole but a full insole won't fit.
