Some more photos here, I'll be getting this shirt ASAP: http://blog-classics.jugem.jp/?eid=1070
Lot 44's look good, I'm planning on getting some Lot 64 Okinawa's at some point but I should probably sell some other jeans before that.

Liking the Lot 44s @Appfaff … I also bought a pair when I was in LA - they are still a bit baggy on me after a cold soak, so I may dry them in the dryer

What size did you get? Mine are sz 36 in the P1 denim and they measure 38 waist after a machine warm wash and machine dry. Luckily for me the seat snugged up a lot in the dryer, but I still have them cinched about 1.5inch in the back. I'd downsize to 34 if I could do it again.Hope that helps!

Because they are so long, and the patch is pre-oiled, I think you could hot wash + machine dry and be fine. It's worth a shot! I will say, I do like the way the legs drape with the cinch pulled in a bit - hope you like the way the fit turns out for you!

Scored an Appaloosa 2015 HBT a while back. Beautiful shirt, but the cuff's are so damned tight I really struggle to snap them, (& I have wrists the size of a sparrow's kneecap). This will be getting turned into a short-sleeve for the summer. (Pic shamelessly lifted from the SE website).
-
had anyone tried out the new continental sport coat yet? Thinking the slate grey + Metisse chinos (or MN Topsiders) would be killer this summer, but wondering if people found them to fit "odd" with the 4 buttons… I have not worn anything other than a 2 button suit jacket for the past 15 years, so it's definitely "new" for me...
-
I believe with an iron and some startch, you could reshape the lapels and turn it into a more modern 3 or even 2 button appearance. I kinda dig the "mailman" vibe though - reminds me of a more toned down version of the MFSC original NOS "Sack Coats" they released a while back.
-
I dig that sack coat, @Bluegrass

Thanks @Bluegrass - during my wife's pregnancy with the twins I put on a fair bit of "sympathy weight" and shifted it to a new home… since I have slimmed down a bit, I was lucky enough that the recipient was willing it let it come home. I'm just happy that it fits again! It really is crazy how slim they are cut in the waist. That's the only thing keeping me from grabbing that last White Utility chambray in the MFSC store...
on a side note, how are you liking the MN Topsiders? Trying to figure out a good "denim" option for summer... fighting over the MN Topsider vs Nep Bosco vs Malibu Sea Denim vs. Mechanic Trousers... the speedway is my favorite cut, and super versatile for me, so I'l leaning towards the Malibus, but I think i'm not going to like the 13oz denim much in the summer, although the cut is great...
-
OMG, what a tough question… I have the MN (and Okinawa) Topsiders, Malibu denim (in sand) AND Mechanics trousers. But given your specific focus on a "summer option" I'd have to go with the MN Topsiders. If price is a factor, the Malibu denim is a steal. And I have to ask, did you consider the Lot 74 12.5 oz wheat denim at (can't recall if you already have those)? The Malibu denim is a unique, and very cool, cut - narrowest leg opening by far of any MF trousers - definitely a "Beach Boys" vibe.
P.S. @Graeme how are you liking the MN Topsiders?
-
I'm liking the MN Topsiders so far. They're comfortable in the summer, and the fact that they aren't a standard five pocket jean is appealing.
I haven't had any appreciable evo on them yet, despite wearing them for most of the last three to four months. I'm guessing that the softer, lighter fabric is less amenable to fading than the heavyweight IH options.
-
I will wash them again and see what happens.
