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? -
Thx man. I like my jackets fitted with room for a vest or a sweatshirt max. i am not a layering kinda guy using different layers like Shirts or jackets so yes would be a 36/small in IH jackets as I am in my IH shirts and i wear 38 in other japanese brands like real mccoys with a pit2pit of usually around 21" @zatemn
I tried a Medium in the Party jacket and it was too oversized on me for my taste because i don't like too much room overall and sleeves were way too long, the small gave me the right fit from the beginning. I also havent soaked my Party jacket so far will wear it for a while, shrinkage should be minimal with a soak and washing is probably not the best thing because of the patches -
Nice scores Arabit. I am 50/50 on the Party Jacket. I like the way that it looks on people, but I don't think that I could pull it off. Mind you this is coming from a guy who wears a bright yellow coat. Which reminds me that I still need to wax it some day…
-
Arabit, those are both perfect! It looks great tucked, sometimes I wish I didn't sell mine.

Very helpful sizing info @davito , thank you Sir.
I am usually an M in IH jackets and S in most IH shirts (all in all a Smallish M).
Went with 38 in this one precisely because of the sleeves, as you've mentioned: at 24.75'', it's at the limit for me. I could have pulled off an S in all measurements except the sleeves, so fingers crossed indeed!If I may further ask, did you find actual sleeve length as reported on the product page (23.76'' for S)?
With pleasure Sir @Bluegrass [emoji4]

It is here….
It looked promising in pics but this thing is a frikking masterpiece in the flesh. Both fabrics feel and look spectacular in hand foretelling of great ageing potential, the combined weight is spot on for the cut of the jacket IMO and with a nice/right amount of crispness to it. More importantly it feels like one fabric or layer on either side (no floating to be noticed anywhere - hopefully it'll stay this way)
The patch hand-work as expected is very impressive:
A couple of quick fit pics (raw):
Will be soaking in cold water and for a much shorter time - I can't afford it shrinking much. Hopefully it won't [emoji15]
