Mister Freedom

Snagged this Sportsman Metisse in a trade with the good dude @johnny5799 as it was a bit too big for him.
I figured this fit was a little "off"
So I went against MFSC washing instructions and shrunk this baby into this:
No noticeable chest and shoulder shrinkage, but managed to bring the hem and sleeves up a bit.
Considering that all my other MF shirts are "gotta tuck me in" garments, I figured this was a nice change.
Cheers,
Adam

Nice! The fit is much better.

Thanks @summ3rhays ! I actually really like the "shrunken" look it has now. Definately something different for me to have.
My brother @FormulaPfaff cautioned me, as he said almost all the fits he's see are super baggy - must just be the drape of the heavier fabric or way it shrinks/dosnt shrink in places, since I've seen a lot of sportsman shirts on people that look quite trim and really good. I didn't measure it after I wash/dried it, but I'm sure I got about 1.5 inches in length shrunk with minimal chest shrink since it not tight at all in the P2P ever after the dryer.

Really liking the new fit @Appfaff
Once you get a good amount of wear on it I'm sure the fit will improve even more too. I've noticed, especially with tops, if you get some good combs and creases set in the whole shirt will slim down visually.

Thanks bro!

Thanks @Bluegrass ! My sizing with MF stuff is such a toss up - some stuff I buy is crazy small and shrinks or is crazy big and dons't shrink.
Glad I won this round with an all around solid fit after a wash and dry haha

Great fit Appfaff. As Bluegrass said, the fabric gets better and better. I wash mine whenever its worn and it's nice and soft now.

@Sugar:
Looks good. It's sure to get better with age as well and the colour will perhaps become more subdued.
I hope so, it can't get much brighter [emoji23]

Killer fit HFTB! I saw your fit on IG this week actually and tried to get similar a similar "shape" out of mine. I'm guessing I got most of the shrinkage out of this one, so I might wash/wear very regularly as well.
Thanks for all the kind words on the fit.

A few close ups of my Patrol Chambray and a shot of the Paladenims. I really dig the fabric.

Honestly, I haven't don't any fit pics because I can't match it to anything! The closest I've gotten was attempting to wear it a few weeks ago with my Sugar Cane beach cloth vest how you are in the above pic, but it was still too damn loud for me

Nice one Summer, the patrol chambray is a ripper MF piece.

For those who have been lusting after some OG mister Freedom gear in XL I have a Mechanic Shirts (XL) and 2 Gym Henleys (42) I'm trying to let go of. http://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=8180.new#new

After a few wears on the lot 654 Cali's, I decided to give them a 2nd soak, this time warm and for a bit 40 minutes.
Didn't really see a ton of shrinkage in the main areas, but the fit did seem to snug up a bit overall.
Much happier with the fit on these now.
The denim is still nice and crispy and even has some lighter shades coming through. In sure it will be very nice by this time 3 years from now lol

Nice davito - my
Stanley is sadly too big….My skivvys are L and super snug, but my Stanley is XL and baggy beyond belief.
Hope to get a nice fitting one soon!

Well, I decided to keep my midnight riders. Figured I would regret selling them in the end. Have them a a second hot soak for about an hour and then a warm wash and machine dry - they finally shrunk up a bit.
Still crazy long and I Have no idea who I could trust to move the map pockets up and re-rivet along with the hem, but I know I will
Get more wear out of them if I get that taken care of.Pictured with the OG ranch blouse and Skivvy tee.
