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.

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

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.

^be careful, you are smaller than me and most Sportsman XLs drown me in fabric.. I'd send Cristian an email and get his take!

With that being said, all the pre-2011 XLs were too snug on me - I can't win with MF shirting…

Yeah I was jumping to conclusions a little based on the size chart, the post rinse XL has a chest of 22.75 which sounds a little on the slim side. I'm just not sure how the rest of the shirt is cut from the chest down, if it tapers much or not. Need some extra space for my belly.
If anyone has any advice on how MF workshirts compare to Iron Heart workshirts I'd be interested in hearing it!
I'll probably shoot Christian an email too. There's also a new shop here that started carrying MF, so I'll see if they're getting the shirt and then I could actually try it on. -
I'm XXXL in IH and XXL in MF - but MF sizing is less consistent than IH. Some of my MF shirts are more "generously cut" than others, and the amount of shrinkage varies. I agree sizing MF gear requires more careful study. For example I got a map shirt that looked like a bath robe pre-soak and the amount of shrinkage from a cold soak was quite remarkable. But my Sportsman shirts have not shrunk much at all from cold soak/hang dry. I shoot for 24-25" chest and ~20" shoulders and hope for the best on other measures which usually work out OK if I get the shoulders/chest right.

I've been opting for XXL in most IH shirts (mainly with the heavier flannels, always nice to have some extra room).
It's just weird because I can pull of a large in the MF and IH tees, but tees do have a tendency to stretch a little.
I went for a XXL in the Appaloosa since the cut on it is a bit more trim. I'll see what Christian says, plus I could always exchange if it was too small or too big. -
I'm definitely thinking about picking up the wabash, since I don't own any wabash fabric.
I don't have much experience with MF shirting outside my Appaloosa, so I'm assuming I'd be safe with the XXL and then shrinking it.I just saw the final wabash shirts last week and they came out looking really good. We ordered the wabash and the new super dark appaloosa for the stores, can't wait to get them in.
Also, if you make it into SEMX, we'll be getting the entire Mister Freedom beach collection of shorts, swim trunks, t-shirts, etc.. -
@Broark - where in Austin is MF gonna be stocked? @FormulaPfaff might need to take more frequent trips to Austin!
-
@Appfaff Revival Cycles just opened a shop in the last couple months in the new South Congress Hotel and they're carrying some MF stuff. I went and checked it out and the selection was fairly limited, but they were excited to be carrying the line. Hopefully they have some S/S16 stuff coming in.
-
@Broark - nice to know!
-
@Appfaff Wabash mister freedom shirt? I'm gonna have to seriously consider that.
-
@FormulaPfaff yep! and a possible stockist in Austin!
