      Finally, the Tonkinoise in Snow Denim.

      this is a true anti-fit shirt, and I view it's cut more as an overshirt than a true button down. The fabric is crazy stiff and pretty heavy. I got zero shrink out of a cold soak/spin and hang dry and it's actually a little bigger than raw after a warm iron.

      The cut and details are very similar to the new Libery issue CPO. Almost to the point where this one feels redundant to have. although it's denim instead of canvas, and not as long, although much roomier in the chest. I will warm wash it after a few weeks/months and see how it goes.

      My measures (raw) were identical to the webshop, although I didn't get any shrinkage…yet

      Pre-Soak Fit:

      Details:


      Summary: Cool shirt, lovely details, super clean construction. If you want more of a shirt, either get the Chambray version or the Garrison Shirt. If you want more of a jacket, get the map shirt or the CPO.If you want something that will work over a tshirt and can be work either way, this one is for you 🙂

      I would not hesitate to size down on the Tonkinoise, but I wanted it as an overshirt. I love the button pockets and the cool collar.  Overall very happy with it and will get alot of wear this spring since it should breathe much better than the canvas CPO.

        Well the CPO Liberty in small arrived, and it doesn't fit. The armholes are much too snug, the chest is too tight and the sleeve length is way long as is the body. Oh well.

        Thanks everyone for the photo's and feedback, but this one is going back and in its place will be something of IH, FH or Studio D'artisan vintage.

          Sorry to hear that.  Always find it interesting to hear people's thoughts and impressions of the same shirt.  For me the arm holes are slightly higher than ideal, the chest a pinch slimmer than ideal and the arms right where I like them, although some would say too short.

          @Appfaff the Tonkinoise looks great.  Love mine as well.  I think the collar shape and design is one of my favorite details on any shirt I own.

            The tonkinoise is definitely a cool
            Shirt. I've worn mine mainly as a CPO style over flannels and open over Tshirts but the cuffs and placket are awesome.  I liken it to the MFSC CPO without the tight fit.  I'll probably see some liberty cuffs onto it at some point haha

                Ok, so after wearing the Topsiders for a few days for the last two weeks, here is my current fit. They stretched a good amount on the first day but not much further stretch since then. I figure they went back to amount raw size.


                I really enjoy wearing them as they are a fairly straight and comfortable fit without looking or feeling sloppy.  I enjoy the higher rise so shirts stay tucked in and the top block has a clean silhouette and minimal hip flare.

                  Topsiders look really good. In fact, I think they look better ok you than Christophe. I might have to check measurements to see of they would work for me

                      So… I'll admit it. I have a "thing" for pants. I'd rather spend my money on jeans, Chinos, work pants and the kit over shirts. Weird, but I prefer wearing a different cut and materials everyday as opposed to the "wear your jeans everyday" idea...

                      Anyways, I've owned a lot of MFSC pants, and one think I've noticed is there is usually a theme in his cuts. Not saying they are all the same - a lot of times they are extremely different - however, I do believe Christophe builds on a cut and reincarnates it over multiple seasons to see how it can progress and perfect.

                      I truly feel the Topsiders are a denim version of the Shipyard Chino cut, which may be the ideal fit for me in every way. I also believe that the shipyard Chino was a derivative of the Riders Chino, which was a twill version of the rider dungaree, which to An extent, was a modified 7161...

                      With that being said, if any MFSC pant that follows his classic silhouette (even the sportsman Chino is loosely based on the Naval chino, which fits similarly to the shipyards) I think the fit would work out great for you.

                      Anyways, that was my conspiracy theory for the night lol [emoji23]

                          Agreed.  Each of the two shirts I've seen are great.  Really like the cream wabash.

                                Fantastic! I love how the leather has so much variation in color. That took major balls, but it paid off big!

                                  Definitely! A few more wears, and it will be as soft as it was before the dye… Can't wait to see what it looks like after a few months of wear. Definitely a "rockstar" piece, and it will be a staple in my wardrobe for the foreseeable future

                                    Rockstar piece is right.  I dig it.  I think it goes well with the vibe of MF.  Well crafted and historical with a quirky personality.

                                          Small collection, eh? Looks good, but it's missing a "jacket" or "coat" (My favorite MF pieces, typically)
