Yeees @Bluegrass show us the full jacket its a beauty, congrats
@Omega Man @summ3rhays @ben2t thx for your kind comments
-
@Friday thx bro these are the indigo métis pantalon ouvrier from les apaches theme. Sold out but think there are flying some around somewhere, ask the pancho guys maybe Mikko can help you out.
No i dont own any items from Viva la revolucion theme any more. Do you mean the americano trousers in corduroy? I could have a more detailed look at these next time for you. Indeed beautiful trousers in a classic 30's vibe
thanks david. Yes the americano corduroy trousers. I was thinking of wearing it during winter. But now the Jungle cloth pants is also available, I have yet to decide.
@Bluegrass congrats on the jackets you wear them well.
-
@Friday both complete different pants stylewise. The americano in a nice 30's Gentleman vibe, the n1z indigo in its Naval/Military theme inspired by us navy fabrics 20's-40's. Depending on your style you may go with the n-1z giving you a bit more"flexibility" but that depends on you. And yes the deckpants come in a comfortable fit. I have touched them and they are beautiful, rich of indigo and the pockets shape is great. You cant go wrong with either of them. If you going more "Dressing up" then look at the americano. Remember these are highwaisted pants as they used to be

Off to hit the theme parks @ Disney. Perfect mild day for the watchman & 64. -
Perfect!!!! @Anesthetist

Looks good Anesthetist. Consider applying some wax:
-
Ahh, so you have the famed waxed Watchman! I think I spent hours admiring that jacket while waiting for mine to arrive. If/when I get the balls to wax mine, I might just hit you up for some advice. It looks so damn good!

I wish! No, the jacket is not mine. Rather, I have merely admired it from afar. It is owned by John B.

Happy to have picked this up from the SE Que Pasa sale. The Le Paletot reminds me of an early cousin of the M-65.
BTW, I ordered my usual size. It came raw and oversized so I threw it in Hot wash and full blast hot dryer… against MF recommendation. But it came out alright and shrunk to the expected fit.
-
One thing that drives me nuts about some mf jackets is that the sleeve buttons are on the inside
-
That's right, GMB… I've not noticed that before. Must drive Toyo Enterprise mad when Christophe has all these specs for the MFSC story board.
Speaking of jackets, I did get touchy feely with the Helo Jacket at SE and it is REALLY NICE! Accounting for the 14% sale, it was still a hefty $800 bones. The build and cut borrows elements from MA-1 but the lack of the waist band (opposed to Buzz Rickson MA-1) makes it more streamlined.

Arrow, could you repost your pic? It wont show up for some reason.
-
That waxed watchman is the nuts. Tones it down just a bit. Thanks for sharing that…
I took another pic of the new chaparral blouse - this captures the color much better. I'd like to get a better pic but when I ask my wife to help me she thinks I'm nuts and I have to deal with her bullshit. Good news is she "approves" of the jacket - likes it.
This is a little big across the shoulders, through the chest and the sleeves are a bit long - so I'm thinking of giving it a cold soak - but I don't want to lose any/much length in the torso. And I guess it is probably better for layering as it is now.
-
I'm glad she likes it, it is a killer piece. I really like the buttons and leather pocket darts.
-
Thanks @Anesthetist I think the MF jackets are generally off the hook - it's been fun exploring the brand and living vicariously through you and others on the forum. @arrow I hope you are happy getting that one on sale! So nice. And getting a MF jacket (or anything) on sale is a special treat.
