Broke out the OG Ranch Blouse again today. Love this thing, but I'm afraid it is getting a bit too small in my "larger" state lol
Until I can't move my shoulders, I'll keep rocking it!

@Bobos , when you going to get a fit up? Since November 2014 & not one fit flick up . . .

Very nice! They belong on the granite countertops!

Those are sweet!

I'm seriously going to have to try this…

I needed some lighter denim for the summer, and snagged the MN Map Shirt and Topsiders. This is before soaking, so hopefully the combo will fit better afterwards.
I normally look for a 24" pit-to-pit, which would be an XL in the shirt, but Cristian @ Mister Freedom advised sizing up to an XXL. It should loose about an inch and a half during the soak, but I'm nervous that it won't work out.
@Bluegrass meanwhile is no doubt hoping that I've made a sizing miscalculation so he can pick it up cheap off me.
Incidentally, nice boots. Why don't I get parcels like that left on my porch, apart from the fact I don't have one…

@Graeme I LOVE that map shirt and I expect you will get a LOT of shrinkage - even if it's a bit big, these map shirts make awesome light jackets. I have the cavalry twill and that sucker looked like a kimono on me before I soaked it. I have worn the heck of my MN topsiders and really like them (equally as well as the Okinawas). The construction of this style trousers is just so cool with the wraparound legs. And like most of the fine garments folks on this forum enjoy, these things just get better and better with every wear. Be sure and post some post-soak pictures.
My first pair of RCs were size 12 and I had to have them resoled and reworked to a 12.5 by Brian the Bootman. They were just too tight, and I did not care for the leather soles. These blacks are size 13 and fit perfect. I was worried they might be a .5 size big and I'd need an insole or extra heavy socks, but they are like butter - they feel like house slippers. I sure did not need another pair of black boots but I'm so glad I got these… as @seanocono said, the "leather is really nice". I hope someone will post up some pics of these with some wear so I know what I can look forward to.
I also got this over the holidays… Gunslinger jumper and Americano vest. Soaked the jacket and worn it just a few times - it is one stiff MF (Mister Freedom
). But the raw unbleached fabric is amazing - it kind of smelled like farm animals when I unboxed it. The blue corduroy vest is also pretty cool.

Both shirt and trousers have shrunk somewhat after soaking. The fit on both has improved, though the pants are now a too tight around the waist now.
I'll post pictures when they've finished drying off. They were still a bit damp this morning.
I guess that's Christophe Loiron's way of telling me I need to go on a diet!
@Bluegrass what size shoe do you normally take, particularly in Vibergs and Redwings? I'm a US 14, 13 in Vibergs and Redwings, and was thinking of getting a pair of the MF Trooper Boots.
I like the Gunslinger Jumper. Can't see the vest too clearly there.
