Jester, that denim is just excellent and is looking really nice.

In other news, the N-1 has been released into the wild.

http://item.rakuten.co.jp/hinoya/sc12111a/

I don't know if I'll proxy it, but I emailed Sutocorp just in case… :-\ 

I was under the impression that the N-1 was not available until October. I have emailed Katherine at MF to see what the schedule is….

Same here hectic.  Also wanted to get some sizing recommendation since rakuten seems known for innacurate measurements, I won't be able to try it on, and will have a damned hard time returning any of the sizes.  Likely a 40, in any event.

@TWE: Katherine advised me a while back that true to size was a reasonable expectation. I am going for a 44 (I also take a 44 in the Buzz Rickson if that helps). I am 6'4" and about 100 kilos.

Cheers hectic, the surer the better on these things and I appreciate the degree of confirmation.

I'd prefer a late October release on the left coast, TBH, to give me a little more time for some forthcoming IH purchases!  Will post when Katherine responds.

Great pic Lando, as always.  Jacket is beast.

Edit: From Katherine over at MF.

_"Hi Kevin,

Thanks for your email. We will be receiveing the deck jacket here at MF within the next two weeks. I anticipate the 27th. It sounds like you are a size 40. The 40 jacket measures 23" in the chest 19" in the shoulders and 26" in the sleeve. I am measuring a sample we have here so I will go ahead and measure from production once it comes in just to make sure it's exactly the same. I don't know how your other jackets fit, but this jacket looks best in my opinion when it's slightly fitted. Like a "uniform" fit. Hope that helps. I will let you know as soon as your jacket arrives.

Best Reagrds,
Katherine"_

F'n stoked.

Didn't even see this last week.  No doubt kiya is in on the MF action.  I think going through MF because to me, strategically, most folks will be buying through SE and since I expect these jackets to be goine within a week, MF, in my mind, is likely to retain it's retial stock longer.  Maybe this isn't logical and won't be born out, but it's sort of what I'm banking on.  I just really don't want to sleep on this jacket like I did last year.

The Troy has landed as SELA according the SUFU Oracle.  Price is steep as expected: $870.

Back when the jacket appeared on rakuten I emailed Sutucorp to see what the total cost would be if I had it proxied.  They quoted me just over $700…I'm confused.  Is there a significant different between the MF Self Edge gets and the MF Rakuten gets?  One wash, perhaps?

[Toasted]

From Katerine @ Mr.Freedom:

The Deck Jacket will be available with the rest of the collection in October and retails for $870.

Had my email from Katherine this morning, just waiting on measurements.

[Toasted]

Can you post them here when you get them?

Happy day on a rainy day in San Francisco.

[SLAB]

how did you size the jacket arrow? same size as Iron heart?

I wear L in IH and I went with 40 with the deck jacket.  Enough room to layer over your favorite IH flannel.

Had breakfast with Christophe today.  A truly charming man.  Gonna pop down to his shop in a few mins.  I am preparing for my mind to be well and truly blown…

[hectic]

Sound unutterably glamorous from where I am at the moment….
