@Graeme i am digging the MN tux!  Fit looks great - you want to be able to wear the map shirt over something.  And the pants will stretch out as you wear them.

I always do a machine cold-rinse and spin-dry cycle (no detergent) with my new MF gear (turned inside out) - the cycle takes about 30 minutes.  Soaking it in the sink or tub is too complicated and imo unnecessary.  The rinse and spin cycle gives me the agitation I want, the garment is totally immersed of course, and the spin throws off the excess water. Then I put the garment on and smooth out the wrinkles before I hang to dry.

Thanks.

I don't have a washing machine at present. It's on my shopping list for the next time I get paid. So a sink is the next best thing.

I think that the idea is to leave the wrinkles in when soaking the Continental shirt.

That Continental shirt is tremendous!  Nice score!

Any body have a size 36 in any version of the lot 64 denim that is willing to shoot me some measurements? Thanks

This is looking mighty tasty to me:

Anyone has experienced it?
How warm is it?

[Anesthetist]

I think it's built just like the chiller vest so I imagine it would warmish. I'm sure it's no Canada Goose though.
I had a hard time wrapping my head around this collection but I did end up buying the chambray Tonkinoise. The fit is generous but I think I have some more shrinkage to deal with even after two cold soaks. This shirt is packed with cool details and is much more wearable than the product pics would have you believe. In fact, I like this shirt so much I MIGHT get the denim version as well.

@zatenm that jacket caught my eye too - I'm not generally a camo guy - but I guess you could say I'm "camo-curious" - with this being reversible, that is imo a very cool feature. I think it is a favorite of this collection for me.  I also liked the measurements.  Unfortunately I don't have the budget since I picked up the black Road Champs and the Gunslinger Jumper recently. Basically I talked myself off the ledge.  However I'd love to see "someone on the forum"  pick this up so I could live vicariously through them.  I think it would be a good weight - and you could layer under it if it's real cold.

@Anesthetist I also picked up the Tonkinoise and I thought exactly the same a you - I love the fabric, versatility and the details, and like you, it made me want it in the snow denim.  However given said budget considerations I am currently exercising restraint and impulse control (one day at a time…). Oh, and you're killing it with that vest!

Thanks man I want to see more of that Gunslinger Jumper! That's one of those I've always wanted one but never bought it pieces.

+1 for the amazing new phrase "camo-curious" @Bluegrass
That jacket looks ridonkulously cool @zatenm
Wow, the Tonkinoise looks almost turquoise @Anesthetist it looks fantastic

This forum is a source of constant temptation and potential penury

It took me so long to appreciate MF. Now I'm the fool trying to get all of the old releases hahaha.
Nice pickups!

I would've bought the gunslinger but the sleeves were too long for me  One of my favorite jackets!

[chiverus]

From when I first picked up the Helo jacket last year

[Bluegrass]

I will get some pics up of the Gunslinger Jumper at some point - re: the sleeves, it shrinks a bunch even with a careful cold soak - but is is very generously cut - you could possibly tweak the sizing with careful application of ever-warmer water.  The cavalry twill garments also start really big and shrink a lot - my XXL map shirt was sized well for a very healthy Sasquatch prior to soaking.

Also, on topic of camo - if you are on Instagram check out bothrops1, he does camo right when he busts out in it - no duck dynasty or heavy militia vibe whatsoever…..

I follow him as well, pretty well dressed dude!
Nice Helo Chiverus! One of my favorite seasons was SeaHunt.

Shirt could do with another another soak

[Anesthetist]

Looks good, is that an XL? I missed out on the last medium on the MF site which sucks but I guess it wasn't meant to be. As for yours, wear it hard and post lots of pics so I can live vicariously!

Thanks @Anesthetist, it's 2XL. Mad crocking, and I'm turning lots of tees blue. After a wash it will fit better. I'll keep you posted.

Great fit @Anesthetist . Only a few MF I can wear most are too small for me.
