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 hahaSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Okinawa Topsiders

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.

New s/s collection preview is up, entitled Gypsy Blues:http://www.christopheloiron.com/mister-freedom-mfsc-gypsy-blues-spring-2017-collection-preview/
Really like the Veste Belleville, particularly the indigo herringbone. -
I would imagine there is probably more to come.
I like both of the Veste Belleville jackets, might get both.
Me too, I esp like the blue model. I was hoping he would have done more with The Skipper, but this collection seems more inline with his overall aesthetic.
