Hey Davito, you have the Indigo and the Cream/White version of the melton wool drover? Nice.
-
Thx guys.
@Omega Man the vatdyed indigo is 31 oz meltonwool, the white/cream drover is made from NOS Vintage Military wool blankets. Yes i had both but sold the blanket. Thx man
-
So good man! Killer combo of some amazing and rare MF pieces.
-
@Bluegrass great fit on those pants! Ive been thinking about getting that map shirt, too. I already have the other two map shirts so it seems crazy to get another, but I have the mechanics trousers that use that same cavalry denim and I love it. Maybe it would actually be crazy if I didn't have all three map shirts?
-
@Jeef I REALLY LOVE the cavalry twill denim too - there is nothing else like it… that rough texture, and the inky blue black color - I think you "probably" need the CT Map shirt
For the record - that CT map shirt is possibly my favorite light jacket, and I like the Mechanics pants too.

Thx bro @Anesthetist

How warm is the Drover blouse blanket? Is it too much for LA winter weather?
-
Paging Davito
Arabit, do you have a lead on one? They have become a bit hard to find as of late. I love my denim version for what it's worth! -
@Arabit the blanket is a pretty warm jacket, depends on your comfort if you wanna wear it in your weather. I wore mine back then in cold Swiss weather (i.e. Freezing point) and was warm in it but also in warmer weather like 20 Celsius or so was good for me. Remember i am used to cold weather while wearing good clothes and wear most of all my clothes throughout the whole year in different combinations.
@Friday wears his blanket in sweden you may ask his experience. I suggest you ask at mf store about their experience wearing it in LA/cali area as I have no experience with your winter.
I personally would get the jacket if you can but thats me@grandmasterben Ben might chime in too as he tried it too in the store a while ago afaik
-
@Arabit you already know the answer, winter is non-existent here. That jacket is pretty damn warm too.
On the other hand, it's a sick jacket and I strongly recommend getting it if you like it. There's just nothing like it out there, I wish Mister Freedom was still making stuff like from the naval and frontier collections, I got 0 interest in the new stuff!
Still kinda looking for one too in a 38 at good price and condition… although thinking I should just get a deck jacket and call it quits for jackets since like I said, we don't have winter...
-
@grandmasterben There is a size 38 on Ebay supposedly BNWOT
@Anesthetist There is a BNWT blanket drover on ebay which i am thinking of buying 600 BIN if that fits you go for it!
@davito Thanks D! Very helpful I just needed confirmation. I thought the jacket would be less warm.My only concern now is sizing. The seller has measured the size 44 jacket way off vs SE and MF in the arms which is my main concern. Thickness of the NOS blanket shouldn't affect length
Approximate Measurements are as follows:
Underarm to Underarm: 23 inches
Shoulder to Shoulder: 20 inches
Length: 26.5 inches
Arm Length: 26 inches
I asked the seller how she measured the arm length and she responded with :
"From top of the arm at the should to the wrist." I'm conflicted atm hahaha I need time to think -
Here's some old pictures I have, hopefully it helps. Personally I would go with my true mister freedom size (I'm a 38) because I like tighter fits, but if you wanted a looser fit one size up from normal wouldn't be too sloppy, although it is too sloppy for me. The jacket is among the tighter fits I've had though for sure.
38
40
all the rest of these jackets are 38….

Nice pics Ben! Drover day here:
