      As promised, here are my post hem fit pics of the Midnight Riders.

      I shrunk these down to the smallest I could get them - they are definitely a bit more relaxed than the standard 13oz riders, but the "trouser" fit is a nice change. Waist was 40" raw, now measures a hair under 38, but the top block is surprisingly slim, even with the high rise.

      Full hem with drape (32")

      With small cuff:

      Tight double hem cuff

          @FormulaPfaff - they will look even better with a higher heeled boot 🙂

          Who knows when that day will come though!

                              Ok @Bluegrass - we all want to know what kinda damage you did while visiting the store!  Any early arrivals you were able to scoop up?

                              Catch any sneak peaks of the sportsman "suiting" pieces - which the photos from the Junky IG make them look about as cool as suit separates can possibly get in my book. Unconstructed, patch pockets, short lapels, shrunken length - looks like if Tom Browne was designing a suit jacket for a Mob Boss in the 1930s-1940s. I dig it!

                                      Wow @Appfaff - drool…. I have these - welcome to the club!  🙂  Enjoy!  RCs are one of those purchases you won't ever regret.

                                      Update on my visit to MFHQ...

                                      I arrived at MFHQ just as the were opening, on a gorgeous LA-weather day. I spent several hours with Tom - just a great young man - very helpful and generous with his experience. They don't keep much XXL or size 38 gear on the floor so I wore him out getting stuff out of storage for me. This place is fantastic. For a vintage, repro, fabric, tailoring, etc. (i don't know what box I'm in) geek like me it was quite exciting/special. Add that I live in Louisville, KY which has absolutely nothing in terms of apparel/dry goods that interests me.

                                      I tried to make sure I checked EVERYTHING out - stuff I've been eyeing and stuff that has not been on my radar, like Viva La Revolution.  And I still missed some things.

                                      #1 on my radar, the Campus Jacket, was sadly just too short - every other measurement was fine but the length was not there.  But there was much more to see.

                                      At the end of the day I bought 6 things:  1) Re-released Lot 44 jeans that I found in a pile on the floor they were so new to inventory (OK I'm sure I've sworn publicly on this forum "no more jeans - yes I am weak) - I was inspired by the well-worn pair hanging up on display; 2) Malibu denim pants in "sand" (never would have bought these if I hadn't tried them on/seen them - amazing); 3) Camp Flannel shirt in black (butter!); 4) Ranch Hand shirt in "sienna"; 5) Wabash shirt (yawn. how original for me. but loved it); and 6) last but not least, a Cowboy Jacket in "malibu sea" blue (also never on my radar, but that color, and the fit, oh my!).

                                      Several items I wanted to look at were out-of-stock in my size - some stuff I thought I'd like I didn't - and of course at the end, I had to put some stuff back and at least pretend to be a reasonable person.

                                      It was fun seeing and trying on the "legendary" Party Jacket.

                                      I could go on and completely put you to sleep - needless to say it was an experience I would not trade. If anyone ever has a question about something, I may have seen it, tried it on, or just talked to Tom about it. I'm happy to share my experience.

                                      So that was my "MFHQ experience" - which I humbly share for the benefit of like-minded forum members.

                                            ^agreed! Great post and amazing pick ups Bluegrass!

                                            The shipyard chinos were a bit snug raw and the MF site said how much they shrink, so I was a bit worried to keep the size 36, but after chatting with Cristian, I decided to go ahead and soak them, and iron them and see what happened.

                                            Although the fit is a bit snug in the hips and seat area (#crossfitproblems), if they stretch even a bit they will be perfect. Plus, I'm not sure I could handle an extra 3 inches in the waist on the next size up and be happy with the overall fit. Plus I've dropped a few lbs over the last few weeks and hope the trend continues haha

                                            Anyways, after a cold soak, line dry and warm iron, there was zero shrink. Actually, they got bigger after an iron haha

                                            For those unfamiliar with the design
