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.

I'm green with envy! I saw a medium on the website but my net was spotty because we are at Disney World. When i finally got net, it was gone. Back to your shirt. I cant get over the color. It looks downright saturated with color! I bet the fading will be amazing.

@Bluegrass great métis there congrats!!! one of the best MF Shirts atm imho.
Faro coat looks great enjoy it, it's meant to fit a bit trimmed due to the given theme of the late 1800's I think. shoulders and cuffs look spot on. have you rinsed it yet? I assume you can close the coat without Problems and having a bit space to layer the waistcoat, right?. the way you wear it with a lighter shirt and a waistcoat is superb. you can try combining it also with a plain chambray or some striped wabash together with the vest. happy exploring. enjoy

Thanks @davito I haven't rinsed it and plan not to for awhile. No trouble closing it at all - it has an appropriately generous fit through middle and at the waist - it just feels snug and a bit binding through the chest/shoulders if I wear a heavy flannel/denim/twill shirt. I think it's because the sleeves are fairly trim, that's why wearing it with a vest works so well.
And the metis is perfect after soaking - I feel very fortunate that worked out so well.

My new MF shirt after a warm wash. Love this shirt. wasnt really sold on it til I saw it in person. I can't wait to see how this ages. Lots of potential, especially with all the folds in the shoulder and cuff pleats. Now I want to get the chambray sportsman shirt which I had previously overlooked….
-
The expansion pleats are a nice feature that I've come to appreciate on my Ranchero. It almost feels like an action back and helps the shirt to drape better. Nice buy Jeef, I look forward to its progress.

Hello Gentlemen (i mean that literally, as I really appreciate how civil everyone is on here).
Thank you for all those photos, feedback and comments.
The doc on Canal+ was a bit out of place in the middle of a political talk-show, but sure was fun to be part of, especially the mine trip! The Levi's ticket found said "For over 20 years", which Mike dates to 1896… He also mentioned that Levi's archives do not own a specimen, making that piece of paper quite the find.
But we can all read about it when he publishes his new book
Happy Holiday Season to all. -
I could piece together a little of the article. Very cool video.
Happy Holidays to you as well Mr. Loiron. I know I have a Skipper jacket under the tree, so I have much to be excited for. -
Some pics I shot earlier today of my new MF chambray. I see what you mean @summ3rhays and @kiya about how much this fabric comes alive after a soak. I gave this one initial hot soak, and then a warm wash.
The thing I think I like the most is its weight, nice and light, almost like wearing linen.

Perfect pics Sir splendid shirt, looks awesome @Hereforthebeer
