I saw a post on reddit that the MF road champ engineer boots are making a comback, anyone knows something about that? Also where were they made back than, John Lofgren?
-
@FlavourFade The original Road Champs were made by Julian Imrie who also made the RRL Engineer boots before they shifted manufacturers. I would love to get a new pair of road champs, mine are at least a 1/2 size too big.
-
@smittybat thanks a lot. I really like the look of them and a pair of brown engineers would be a nice addition to the collection. Just hope they don't come with a leather outsole.

@NickD have to see if I can make it happen financially first and then I'll think about that haha

Picked up a Campus Stud before the price increase. Was hesitant about the measurements, but it feels great. Like having the extra space in the arms - makes it really easy to wear and good mobility.

@concretor great fit!

@concretor
It looks exactly like you chose the perfect size
Congratulations on the purchase! It’s such a beautiful piece. I always enjoy seeing a new Mr. Freedom leather jacket and then being able to follow how the wearer shapes it over time. Please share how it develops as time goes by 
@ZackB
How is your ranch blouse turning out? -

Thank you for the feedback guys!
I’ll post some pics once I get it more broken in. -
When I find a brand that operates in this sphere, I usually check the IH forum. In most cases, there's chatter about the brand or certain pieces. And yet again, I was not disappointed. MF discussion is alive and well.
Their Stanley shirts caught my eye, mainly because of a reasonable price, but also because of a nice variation in color. I like color in my Ts. I tried to search specifically for them, but I think my Google-Fu is weak.
How do you like the shirts and how do you find the sizing?
-
@Bobcat-Sig Stanleys are great. I have a couple of them and they fit true to size — I wear my normal L like I do in pretty much everything other than Japanese brands (like IH) that run small. Overall they have the fit you’d expect, basically military vibe with slightly shorter sleeves characteristic of the era.
-
@popvulture Much appreciated. As I've continued down this rabbit hole of Japanese denim and its orbit, I'll admit to being too wrapped up in sizing. With tops that fit sizes anywhere from M up to XL, it can get twisted.
The Stanley is fairly lightweight, yes? MF doesn't list a fabric weight.
-
@Bobcat-Sig yeah it’s pretty much a normal weight tee, I’d say medium. It’s got a little heft to it but isn’t oppressive or hot (to me at least, and I run super hot).
