Mister Freedom

They are getting the $ and that's definitely a good thing, but I'm sure he was capable of cutting a $1500 check without all the fanfare as well…
Not questioning his intentions (or those of anyone purchasing one to help), just taste and comprehension of the situation.  When I've got friends from Japan asking to come stay with me out of fear, and an 80 year old woman who's home I've been a guest at who can't use the bathroom with dignity I find NOTHING to try and make light of.  It's really just too soon for this type of thing.

I'm more than partial to a bit of black humour but I think I'd be feeling the exact same way Kat.

[rocket]

totally understand your view on this.

My two cents to this are you can do good silent or you can do it loud, the only thing that really matters in the end is that there is some thing to be done.  I don't see the point to judge the choosen way as long as it is not disrespectful against others and humor is not something that I would personal put under the gone to far flag…

I don't think there's such a thing as doing something good in a wrong way.

[Geo]

That's true - good is good . . . But taste is variable and individual

[Beatle]

bare in mind that Christophe and the MFSC team are having long and sincere relationships / friendships to and with a lot of people in Japan. I spoke to Katherine last night - and they are just as devastated about the situation , if not more than some.

I felt like all I can do from where I am is trying to stay in touch with the people I know over in Japan, pray for them and send every bit of positive energy that I have.

Hope and good thoughts are what really matter right now - and I for one completely support that.

Kat, i hope your folks on that side of the water are good.  i meant no offense in putting up the MF post & really should of thought about it before letting my fingers doing the talking.

keep the faith

great lookin' jacket . . . shoulda bought it from you 

[nameness]

Great fit, too.  I can't wait to see how those deck jackets look in 15yrs…

[PETEROCK1]

Dope jacket, monday! I've been wearing mines pretty much since day one….. and loving it!

speaking of mister freedom, is anyone interested in a barely used 7161md (worn about a total of 3 times)? Hit me up!

[jimmy]

what a cool video.
anyone know what type of barbour wax he is using?

@bertoni:

Found this and thought it may interest those who are lucky enough to OWN one of these beautiful jackets. The passion and the time that goes into the production of an item like this makes you realise why it costs what it does. I'm starting saving…

[jacoavlu]

Is there more than one kind?

[jimmy]

i didnt think so but the tin he's using looks different then the norm. it's usually green with thornproof dressing underneath BARBOUR. maybe it's just commercial packaging vs bulk buy?

[jacoavlu]

He's active over on sufu. Can't think of his handle over there now but if you find the MF thread there I think he talked about the video a bit, I'm sure you could email him.

[elclintor]

eltopo i think..

[jacoavlu]

Sounds right. He posts some amazing pics.

[jimmy]

I have hectic. Definitely one of the pieces from this collection that I actually like… Rather stiff fabric, which I prefer.
