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.

Yeah Bandit waxed it

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.

Yeah always looks OG in everything. And his photography is amazing to boot!

[Bluegrass]

While most others might consider the idea of a trip built around a race to be a crazy idea, I have some great memories from doing exactly that.  Looks like you're having a blast, so happy birthday to Mrs. Summ3rhays, and best wishes for the race.

[summ3rhays]

Thanks @Chris!  I'll make sure to pass on the birthday wishes.

Brand new Le Paletot Diable Sz  102 (XL). It is a little larger than I'd like (sale piece) but it is also in its raw state. I am unsure if I'll wash it or not. I want some opinions from my fashionable friends first!

Incidentally, this coat came smelling like ass on the neckline. I dunno if some smelly fucker tried it on but a spot clean and some period French cologne and it is 1000% better

I'd say warm wash it to get some shrinkage.

Yeh mate, I'm thinking a wash too. Looks a little big at the moment, especially in the arms.

[Chris]

Make that three votes.  If you get it just a touch smaller, it will look great.

[Bluegrass]

great score - agree, seems like a wash will bring it down to a better fit.  plus the ass smell will be permanently extinguished!

A jacket that's too big for you and smells like ass. Yes. A wash may be in order.

And done. Just put it in the tub inside out with warmish water and gave some mild agitation. Not sure if it's enough to get all of the shrink out but the MF site has me afraid of marbling. If I get just a little sleeve shrink, I'll be a happy man. But to be honest I had the ass smell fixed ASAP
