Freenote Cloth
-
@Choko out of curiosity, what size did you go with, and what’s your height/weight? I’d like to get a pair of these but Freenote’s measurements seem to be more generous than all of the retailers I’m seeing. Sorta stuck between 33 and 34, just trying to avoid getting the wrong size if I can help it.
-
@popvulture I’m 6’1 230 lbs. I bought a size too big. I should’ve went with my gut and gotten a 36 but I got a 38 and the waist is loose on me. I could’ve returned them but I didn’t want to take them off haha and the creases set and I said screw it I’ll keep them. I washed and dried too and it didn’t do shit! Haha. Go with what Franklin and Poe says. IMO they’re the most accurate for Freenote and they stock the slub deck pants
-
@Choko fantastic info, man — thank you! That all helps a lot. Looking forward to snagging some of these.

I just pulled the trigger on an RJ-2. They just restocked them and added more 20oz canvas versions. I went with the 20oz olive canvas. The best part is they are also doing an early black Friday sale so I got 20% off. Pics will be coming once it arrives.
-
@pmadison95 congrats on the jacket! How do you get the early black Friday sale discount? Thanks!
ETA: nevermind just got the email thanks
-
@pmadison95 - so tempted by the RJ-2 but not sure whether to go with the waxed olive or the denim. Anyone have the denim? Also, as I am buying from the UK suspect I will be hammered by the duties.
Grateful from anyone with either jacket for views on the denim vs waxed. Oh and how to avoid the taxes!
-
@Crispy-Heron I know @Mizmazzle has the indigo denim version. I was on the fence with the Olive and the black denim but I already have a sherpa lined black denim jacket from Bravestar so I went with the olive for more variety.
-
@pmadison95 - thanks. Are you UK based? Did you get hammered with duties?
-
@Crispy-Heron No luckily I am based out of the USA so I didn't have to pay import duties.
-
@pmadison95 - how did you get the 20% off as the Black Friday deal seems to exclude this item?
-
@Crispy-Heron the shearling RJ-2 is the greatest garment I own…I love it so damn much. So warm and comfortable. When you put your hands in those pockets you will know what heaven feels like.
-
@Crispy-Heron That is unfortunate it looks like they changed the discount code the code I used was EARLYBF24 . Maybe they only allowed it on the first day or maybe they didn't intend to include them and that is why they changed the code?
-
@pmadison95 @Mizmazzle - well I pushed the button on the olive RJ-2 thanks to your recommendations. I will personally blame you both when my missus has a go for blasting lots on money on it. Hope you don’t mind?!
-
@Crispy-Heron Iron Shop Provisions have a 20% sale at the mo and I landed a pair of Rios from there with a great service and a surprise when they arrived in the UK
-
@Gavin666 - thanks for letting me know. Thankfully (for me) they do not look like they had the same RJ-2 that I was after. I didn’t get any discount after all that and I assume will get hit with the duties! What was your surprise?
-
@Crispy-Heron I tried on that olive shearling RJ-2 last year when it first came out. It is so freaking rad. My wife loved it too. If I didn't have the denim one already at the time, I would have bought that waxed olive one. I have no doubt you’re going to be blown away.
And yes, please direct all blame toward me. But once your wife sees what a sexy devil you are in that jacket, all will be forgiven.
-
@Mizmazzle - Ha ha! I will let you know if you are right!!
-
@Crispy-Heron I can’t say but a great surprise ordering from the UK from the US
-
@Crispy-Heron btw, if you ever what any other Freenote gear speak to Alex at Auteur store in Chorlton as he stocks the brand and can order a piece for you so you know exactly what you will pay.
-
@Gavin666 - I think I know what you mean
