I've been wearing my M-65 a lot the last few days to 1. See if I could pull the Look of the MM off (similar era styling, I know not the same jacket), and 2. trying to convince myself I don't need them both.
As I said in my post a few weeks ago, I did not have my eye on anything when the anniversary post was originally made, but dog gone it if I don't want every item by now.
Sadly, the Anniversary collection has been the sequence of items "long gone" and things I have lusted over for nearly a decade now. Almost all of this stuff came out when I was in college, with no money and no hopes of ever owing any of them.
Now, I have a wife, so all previous sentiments remain true

I wonder what it is named for. I've lived all around Mulholland HWY most of my life, and while lots of people ride all the time, this beast would be too heavy 90% of the year.
Despite the weight, it actually is named after the highway, according to the blog:
We got the name of our humble interpretation of that classic from one of Los Angeles’ famous highway, a scenic stretch of asphalt turned playground for Californian motorcycle riders, automotive speedsters and local midnight cruisers.

Thank you EvilTwin.
Mulholland is a great stretch of road. I have many memories associated with it.
Great name for a great looking jacket. -

The Mulholland jackets and the Waterfront coat are now available in the online shop: http://www.misterfreedom.com/anniversary-collection.html

While I had my sights set on one or two more items from the Anni collection, one piece I have always regretted getting rid of was my Ranch Blouse. I had one from the original run and was sized fairly small, so when I gained a lot of weight last year, it just sat there reminding me of my laziness, so I got rid of it.
When my opportunity to grab one in my size came about, I jumped on it and am very happy with the results.
This is the Lot 64 version. The denim is lighter than on my original one, but the sleeves, shoulders and body length are much more practically proportioned (at least in me)than my old one. Plus, I can button it up over an UHF - always a plus.
Anyways… here's the fit:
And some detail shots:
And my favorite - the wabash under the collar:
Hope everyone is getting excited about the holidays. Wishing you and your loved ones the best,

Now there is an excuse to have two
. I like it with the dip after the creases from wear have already set in. -
Hi everyone,
I'm considering this shirt, but am wondering on sizing. How much does it shrink? I'd say that it would be generally an almost perfect fit as is, but would have a little bit of wiggle room with some shrink in length and a little in the chest.
I guess my concern is the shrink coupled with the dense material might make it not work.
Your thoughts appreciated greatly.
Thanks!

It shrinks about half a size….but it can stretch back out when damp

@QuantumMechanic - I went with my XL, as that's what I wear in Most MFSC shirts, except their Tshirts, which I wear a L. My XL is very roomy which is what I wanted, but I only cold soaked it. Ive heard people got a good amount of shrink with a wash. I plan to give it a machine wash this spring.
I know @summ3rhays sized up on his, maybe he has done the most drastic shrinking to it? What size are you looking for? I think most sizes are present on this forum by owners and we would be happy to post our "post soak" measures. I think @deanclean went with XXL and I bet @Anesthetist went with L. not sure who/if anyone has a M though.
-
Yeah, I went XXL. I would have bought an XL, but it was sold out, haha. I hot soaked it twice and it's perfect to wear as a shacket. It helps too that I put on some pounds after my divorce was finalized and the holiday hit. I'd be interested in knowing what size you are looking for as well. I really like the shirt and am actually wearing it today.

I actually just picked up this workshirt in XXL and was contemplating moving it along because it's so huge in the arms and long. Right now it looks like a nightshirt on me, which is saying something. You guys are starting to convince me that I should give a hot soak a go, because it is a damn beautifully detailed shirt.

I went with my usual MF large and it fits well after a warmish soak with agitation. I imagine it still has some shrink to it though. I'll try to remember to take some measurements before and after I wash it.
