@matt_rost looks great man. I also think the 40 doesn’t look bad but the 38 would be the look I’d want too. I’m usually about a smedium so sizing down might be the move for me too.

Time to revive this chat. I finally added this piece to my rotation. I was able to squeeze in 1 wear on a milder day in NYC, but sadly we are now back to the cold for now. Can’t wait to put some time in on this.

Has this thing gotten any more love? I've been considering the same piece.

Sorry for late response was on vaca. Needed to get as much time in as possible before it got too hot. I love this piece man. The rolls on sleeves are coming in nicely. I plan to wear it for 30 days straight when weather permits to get things back on track! This needs to be worn in.

I have the denim ranch blouse and it’s my best fitting denim jacket. The fit on this is equally as great, just in leather. This will age really well over time. I have the campus in leather as well, and turn to this more often. Highly recommend if you’re in the market for it.

Got my Randall ranch blouse today. First leather jacket, any opinions on sizing?

And thanks to @Tyler-Durden for all the dope mister freedom fit pics.

@ZackB Great jacket, man! I think the arm length and back length are appropriate. The volume in the shoulder and upper arm areas is a bit too much for my taste, but if you feel comfortable it's definitely wearable. However, since you live in the US and comparing to the next size down should be relatively straightforward, I would still recommend sizing down a size. Based on your photos, you should be able to fit the arms and back length a finger's width shorter, and then I think you'd have gotten the most out of the jacket.

@matt_rost appreciate it my friend. This is a small so only 1 size down to be maxed out haha. I might give the xs a try but I do appreciate a little roominess in my denim jackets for sure.

I’ve been in LA for the last 2 weeks and picked up this denim cap from the store while I was there.

@Mister_Brue Tons of stock. It's an interesting shop, old pairs of jeans and POS stuff hanging from the ceiling, and it's half Mister Freedom's own brand items, and half curated vintage.

As fall approaches, I'm enjoying my Campus Jacket to the fullest. These photos were taken recently on a dull, drizzly day. I have a feeling I'll need to condition the leather for the first time soon. Does anyone have any practical experience with leather care for this model? If possible, I'd like to preserve the color as much as possible, and the manufacturer recommends avoiding shoe care products (otherwise, I would have simply used Red Wing Leather Cream).

[NickD]

Unless it's seen a lot of rain I doubt it needs conditioning yet - I've only had to condition one leather jacket and that was because I'd had it in storage for a couple of decades. Lovely jacket! I particularly like how they look in black leather.

[matt_rost]

@NickD Thanks Nick, I agree with you. I'm usually relaxed about this too. However, I'm not the original owner of the jacket, so I don't know how old it is or what it's been through. The surface of the leather seems pretty rough and dry to me since I got it, but I haven't had a new one made of this leather in my hands yet, so it's hard to say whether it might already be too dry.

I use mustang paste on my Y-2. It will darken it a little but makes the leather buttery smooth

Day one in my freshly hemmed 674 double indigos. 12.5 oz is definetly something I have to get used to after mainly wearing my lefties most of the past months. Cut is also more relaxed than my default fit but I realy like them and I think they will fade great.

I bought a campus in natural leather direct from Mister Freedom and they sent a small container of Pecard Leather dressing with my order. After a year of wear I used it and like a quarter of a full size container on the jacket. It definitely darkened the jacket a couple of shades but the leather was very thirsty so I feel like the trade off was worth it. It required plenty of elbow grease to work it in everywhere.

[matt_rost]

@Heritage_Guy Thanks for sharing your experience! I can well imagine it was a time-consuming job, especially since I had to take care of my Pale Rider shirt this year. A few shades darker is definitely a statement, but I suppose you have to make some compromises if you don't want to ruin the leather's fiber structure in the long run.
