Sure, I'll shoot some pics this afternoon after the gym. Anyway, I like how MF leaves the labels blank for personalization. I had the idea of having my 86 year old WW II vet gramps decorate it for me. He was an amateur illustrator back in the day and does some excellent doodling even though his hand isn't steady like it used to be. I gave him artistic license and he drew a tiny airfield and plane with his typical flourish. It won't be for everybody but for me it will be a great memory!

Love the idea @Anesthetist!

[grandmasterben]

^thats really awesome. I truly doubt there's a cooler illustration on any other pair.

Does this cpo have the mermaid patches on the interior cuff?

Unfortunately not.

Great thinking and sounds like really fantastic execution! What a lovely gesture/memory for you both!

I decided to give the XL Le Paletot Apache in black from the SE sale a chance. It might be a little on the larger side chest wise but it should give me room to layer. The cinch back will also help in that department. Otherwise the shoulders and length look good plus there is minor shrinkage to be expected.

Good looking jacket. I wish it was a XXL.

Nice one Ant. I was tempted by the XL. I look forward to pictures.

Mulholland Master and testing out a GoPro.

This is a ridiculous pic from IG. I had to share.

[Bluegrass]

Wow, great photo - you have a bunch of years and miles to achieve that look, but you are on your way…

[summ3rhays]

It almost looked waxed doesn't it?

[seanocono]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's been waxed.

Great photo, and good luck with the footage, summ3r.

[Snowy]

Yeah Bandit waxed it

That guy has a heck of a MF collection. I've seen tons of pics with him in MF gear and he always looks great. I wish I could pull off some of those looks!

Damn.  That was impressive - and looks like it was A LOT of work.

It's actually not that bad.  I waxed a jacket using something similar to the Otter Wax he used in his other video (

), which is pretty simple.  For the jacket, he used the Barbour Thornproof wax, which seems a bit messy, since it's more of a liquid/gel when you apply it.  As I recall, @hectic waxed an Iron Heart N1 jacket and posted about it.

Oh, if you're going to wax a jacket, by all means, use a heat gun.  A hair dryer just isn't the right tool for the job.
