@Broark I had the last version of the midnight pea coat and it kept me warm in Vermont winter. Idk how sizing is on this one but last one was giant. At least a whole size big, maybe more.
@UnTucked how wrinkly is yours from the one wash? Really want to grab from Japan to save $300 but it's kinda ridiculous they only offer one wash. Need raw

I gave mine the same treatment that Christofer lists on the MF website… I sized down, and wet it using a spray bottle. It will be plenty warm enough of a jacket in Okinawa, considering that the coldest it gets is about 50-55.
It wasn't amazingly wrinkled... Just ever so slightly. I took a spray bottle to her though, because brand new it looks far too pristine, to the point that it looks comical

@UnTucked my 2010 version I got soaked for an hour with stupid hot (almost boiling) water for an hour and then wore until dry. Was still sadly too big

Hadn't seen a lot of posts regarding the Lot654 yet, so I figured I'd share.
Since i missed out on the original Lot54, I figured I'd get the NOS version of the 64 cut with some features reminiscent of the old 54s (aka the lot 654). These were quite oversized when I got them but the denim shrunk down a lot and gave a very nice fit. The closest thing I could compare to IH would be the Beatle Buster but with a wider bottom hem. The top block feels like a high rise version of my old WH660, which was my all time Favorite.
Here is the fit after a soak and a few wears(pictured with the Stanley Tee in XL and the Sportsman Wool Watch Cap)
I got the 38 because of the slim thigh measure, and glad I did. Here are the pre/post soak measures -
I'm a big fan of the aggressive pocket patch and lighter detail stitching
The denim is very crispy, which is awesome and should yield some awesome vertical fades
Cheers!

Very nice!

They look good and will probably shrink just a little more with a wash.

Thanks guys!!
I was very curious about these - great post! I had asked Cristian and he said they were cut essentially similar to the Lot 64. Which made me wonder, why Lot 654???
So yes, the cut is the Lot64 cut, but made with a new stock of the same cone denim used on the old lot54 if I remember my details correctly. Also, these feature similar stitching and patch details to the original lot 54 that were more toned down for versions of the 64s.
I was urged to stay away from the first batch of 64 because the thigh was so slim on the 34 and 36, but now that I can wear the 38, the fit is perfect for me and what I wanted.
I'll probably get these hemmed eventually, but like Anesthetist said, they will shrink a bit more so I will wait Til I soak one or two more times before sending them off.
Overall, they are great! And probably a better fit for me than the new lot74.
I was also able to snag a few items I had let pass me by years ago, the original Pique pant and the midnight riders. I'll get some pics of the riders, but here is a shot of the OG pique - loved the details on this version over the new sportsman although I love the newer "wheat" color.

The Tonkinoise is on my hit list as well. Nice fit on the 64, looks good!

Snagged a tonkinoise abut 3 weeks ago. Love the shirt. The fabric is incredibly neppy. As usual with MF the shirt has plenty of subtle and not so subtle details. I really dig the way the collar of the shirt is constructed.
