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!

I would've bought the gunslinger but the sleeves were too long for me
One of my favorite jackets! -
From when I first picked up the Helo jacket last year

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 -
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.

Apologies for the late reply gents, been away on a long weekend..
You confirmed my suspicions @Anesthetist, that jacket is not warm enough to justify its purchase on account of functionality alone. Congrats on on that Tonkinoise, really looking like a special piece!I hear you @Bluegrass, I got my first camo only recently in the form of the party jacket - love the piece though I have yet to wear it [emoji52]
The Gunslinger jumper looks like a fine purchase, suits you really great, Congrats! [emoji106]Sweet pics with the kids @chiverus [emoji4] I recently tried the Halo at R&H and it was a very impressive in terms of construction and details but mostly it was very very toasty [emoji108]

Had a request for some Tonkinoise pics. Sorry for the bathroom pics, it is already dark out. As you can see the collar is actually pretty low key. The fit is very workwear/military inspired and a bit antifit. I imagine it will shrink a little more with a warm wash. The construction is really amazing as is the fabric and buttons. It really is a lovely shirt.
Tucked (I promise I don't have that gut):
I hope this helps! @browniemcghee

Solid look Bluegrass! I definitely like the look of the wabash but I also like the denim workman with the OD stitching.
