Thx guys.
@Anesthetist I'd say these are a mid-rise - not real high like some of the MF stuff but def. not low where you feel like your ass is hanging out. These pants are really comfortable - the wrap leg construction is really different, feels kind of "old-timey" - in a good way - my wife said they looked like Amish pants :). And the Okinawa denim is such a great fabric - it actually feels heavier than 11 oz to me - but these are going to be go-to jeans for the spring/summer for sure.
I've also looked at the Loco jacket and was intrigued but it would definitely be too short for me with my long torso - but I think it's a neat jacket. I'm currently lusting for the Lot 64 Ranch Blouse and/or Gunslinger Jumper
I also just picked up the Shipyard Chinos in khaki and the NOS hickory stripe Sportsman shirt, so I'm done buying clothes for awhile. -
Quality over quantity any day right? At least that's what I tell myself….
Great scores @Bluegrass.
-
@Bluegrass how do you rate the Mister Freedom Topsiders in MN?
I was considering getting a pair, and was wondering how durable they felt.
-
@Graeme Just a heads up, this site has size 30 and 32 for cheap.
-
@Graeme I am a big fan of the MN twill and the cut of the Topsider pants - that's what led me to the Oki version. The fabric is lightweight but quite durable imo. It's a cool color, and something different than the standard blue jeans. If I didn't already have the map shirt in calvary twill I'd grab it in the MN as well. I think you would find it hard not to like this fabric.
-
Thanks @Bluegrass. I'll have to get a pair.
Did your MNs stretch back out to their pre-soak size with wear?

I'd size these using the "rinsed" measurements on the MF site - they def. snug up quite a bit, then relax with a brief amount of wear - but they won't go all the way back to pre-soak sizing. The waist will stretch but they will lose 1-2" length in the inseam and all the other measures will snug up. To be honest, I was worried they might be too loose before I soaked them, then I was worried they might be too tight after I soaked them! I always get my usual IH tag size in MF and so far they have always worked out just right. The beauty of high quality STF goods is they will generally evolve to fit you perfectly.

Anyone got fit pics of the Ranchero shirt? The indigo calico fabric is great but the collar makes me wonder how it will look when worn
I've posted on someone here in this thread I think but definitely on Superfuture… I'll look for it in a bit!
-
Not that crazy looking IMO. I have a medium I'd sell if it would fit you.
-
@Anesthetist Thanks for the collar pic. Sadly a medium won't fit me. I need an XL which I can get off the MF site
Thanks Ben I found your pics. They look great!
-
Couldn't take it and just took the plunge on the party jacket…....... Love everything about it, especially those patches.
Went with Medium, hopefully the fit will be as I expect it - enough room to layer but not too much for just a T.The wait begins.....
-
WOW Looks glorious and perfect fit on you @davito!
Thanks for those pics, I'm really looking forward to it now.
I'm assuming Small is your normal IH jacket size, correct?
