sorry about the shameless plug. size 3 first run of the jackets . #60. on ebay,

http://www.ebay.com/...984.m1555.l2649

i have seen the new fall stuff . their are some other really cool denim pieces as well . not just the buckaroos.

It's a Borsalino . I think it's called "weatherproof line " or maybe waterproof . The writing has worn off the hat . I love this hat it really helps me complete my "Daniel Plainview" look. Thanks for the + reps .

Is that embroidered shirt behind you a Nathan Turk? That thing is sweet!

Yep . Turk.

Nice fit jacob, what's the henley and jacket you're wearing?

Thanks for the kind words. vintage henley from mf and a 50's horsehide d pocket.

Pantalon Apache in grey stripe. love these pants. enjoying all of the pics. keep it up.

Awesome find tigerprawn...

Anyone see the les apaches shirt in portlandia the other week? http://www.ifc.com/portlandia/videos/portlandia-dream-of-the-1890s

A few people in the video are wearing pieces from the apaches line. Fred's outfit is all MF. I helped style the shoot . They are my personal mf pieces. The head stylist rented the clothes from me . I'm also in the video wearing some mf . I'm the bartender.

Ranch Blouse action. bad picture sorry . Really cool photos from everybody lately. Keep them coming.

im saying more like 10 inch opening would perfect.

Hey bill or anyone who might know ,

So I have the first run of the type 900 jacket. I removed the buttons , but now I lost the back pieces.

Does anybody know where I can find some replacements.

Thanks

i like the pic, who are the guys, and what about the bandanas?

just some friends of mine. they were kind enough to help me with a couple of shots. old 45rpm bandana and a piece of torn up indigo fabric.

SORRY for huge photo !!

Mister Freedom times 3

Seen the whole fall collection . It looks really good.

great fits ThisSunday.

and new pics on MF website btw

I really like those pics. Looks like they are having some fun.

Are the pants WWII Impressions or original?

Nope, they are RRL.

Here is a couple of pics of the (sorry for the poor lighting) Casquette Ouvrier (indigo stripe hat) and the Chemise White Calico shirt. Enjoying everybody's pics keep them up. Thanks.

I think wearing your jeans 2 sizes to small will wear them out quicker than a dryer

That is funny and true.

I would send it back

i would have. if it wasn't for bill responding to my post. it makes the jacket more interesting. i like knowing the story behind white stitching. also i helped sell another lot 900 jacket. i personal shop for a guy that loves hand made clothing , showed him my jacket. he told me to find one for him. just ordered one from hickoree's hard goods.

hi Jacob, I was going to pm you but I thought I might as well reply straight up here. First off thanks, and I'm very glad you're happy

Yes you're right the buckle on that jacket was restitched- I remember it. The bucke got crushed in the mangle before it was dyed and I only noticed it when I was packing them. I replaced the buckle, which meant undoing the strap. Rather than using blue-dyed thread to match on the shelf, but which wouldn;t wear, I used the same unbleached cotton thread as the rest of the sewing. After a little bit of wearing (and definitely after a wash), the indigo in the fabric will bleed over and make the difference much less noticable. Plus you can look at it as a unique feature and part of the stort of that particular jacket.

On the armhole again yes I see the place you mean, and very I'm sorry if you're at all disappointed. The armholes are cut quite high, which I think looks really nice. The problem with this is the curve of the panels is very tight, making it difficult to get the heavy rigid fabric around the machine. A lot of jeans jackets overlock and topsticth this armhole seam, but I don't like how this looks. The reason for having a triple fell-seam at the armhole is to secure against this being a problem. Even if the feed misses the edge of the seam at one stitch the remaining 2 will keep it completely safe. Again as you wear the jacket in and you start adding repairs etc this kind of thing will hopefully not seem an issue, and it certainly won;t be any less strong.

All of Tender's stuff is made on a very small level, and this is all still only from the first production, so there will be certain inconsistencies. I really hope that as you wear in your jacket these little things will become a part of the enjoyment of how unique each piece is. Hope that helps!

thanks for the extra back story. bill what is the password for the new season?

i got lot no. 900 jacket yesterday. i love everything about the fit, color, details , hardware, etc. only thing is the sewing is a little sloppy. the cinch on one side looks to have been sewn again after the over dye. reason i think this is the stitches are white instead of that nice blue shade. also the over lap seam has come loose in the armpit already. i know this sixteen oz denim must be hard to sew.

here some pics.

white thread re do

blue thread

overlap seam came loose

i not trying to be to picky , i just paid a lot of money for this jacket. a little hard to return since i bought from the uk shipped to the us. i know its not going to effect the overall jacket. this jacket is already a beauty. i can only imagine how cool this jacket will look with a little wear.

thanks bill. just bought a size 3 from superdenim uk. can't wait!!! man i have a lot of denim. this piece seems pretty special thou. had to pull the trigger. love supporting cool people doing cool things. keep it up. it was cheaper than 600$ on superdenim even with the poor exchange rate.( pounds to usd) i will post a couple of pics when i get it.

Looking to buy a jacket . What size ? I'm a large in mister freedom 40 to 42 jacket depending on how it's cut . 3 or 4 ? I'm thinking three ,any thoughts?

here is a crappy quality pic of my messy apartment and new five pocket mf dungarees.

I was really hoping to get the 5-pocket jeans, but that Rising Sun venture puts that off. Oh well, I hope some of you folks beat the shit out of that old denim.

Do we know what era the denim is from? 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s? Or any old "new old deadstock" denim will do?

not for sure. i should have a pair of 33's in the mail tomorrow. perfect birthday present for myself. went to mister freedom a few weeks ago pick up the last 7163 in size 33. they are so cool. the shop is crazy . overload for sure .

mrswitch what rising sun's are you taking about? mike hodis is the man. he makes some really good denim pants.
