^You're right! I was thinking 1" and forgot to double it. Isn't it fun to 'work' the MFSC stuff to get the perfect fit?

Last I talked to kiya, he said the chambrays got pushed back a couple of weeks by TOYO. I am guessing the body lining of the shore jacket is the white chambray?

Fit looks great, tt. It doesn't look like shrinkage was too dramatic.

I was fully intending to pick up a pair of jeans at SE on Saturday, but I think that shore coat is calling my name. Lined with chambray, it looks like.

Kiya, how is the shore jacket sized- S,M,L... or by chest size?

No idea what a "back pocket book" is, but i'd guess it's a denim covered note pad.

I am hoping it means 'Small Destination Sailor Bag in Dry Indigo Denim' The iPod cases sound cool.

edit: HOLD ON, are they referring to the little nudie booklets they stick in the back pockets of their jeans??

Excellent. I'll be in town that day with friends, so I'll probably stop by early to check everything out.

Jesus, I just saw this thread. I will be there on Saturday.

Going to the SE SuFu party?

Oh, holy shit yes! I just checked the thread. I really do need to keep better track of what's going on around here. What perfect timing.

Kiya-

If I want to spend time trying stuff on, should I come in earlier on Sat the 7th before the madness starts? Of course, I'd hold of on purchasing until the party so my receipt is entered...

Sorry, that would be a week from tomorrow!

Shore jacket and denim vest, coming to Self Edge on Wednesday.

I can't wait to see them in person. My travel schedule puts me in your shop on Saturday.

sure, the white one is a must, but - a dark indigo chambray which actually fades?!

honestly - take both!

I'd love to, but I have far too many blue shirts at the moment. Plus, I am currently working on an EG ringspun denim work shirt.

Honestly, I'm just looking forward to having the chance to try on a few MFSC pieces in person. I just might walk away with a chambray and a pair of jeans

Short Jacket and Chambray shirts = next week

What a fantastic coincidence. I will be in SF in a little over a week.

Too bad Christophe isn't including red in the new chambray colors. In lieu of that, I'm going for white.

Prices dropped and western flannel added.

You know you can't resist....

Make offers!

buy my EG! It's fabulous stuff!

Too large, sadly. I'm out for purchases anyway until I sell all of the EG that I have.

Great fits on the CPOs, everyone! I definitely think it looks better untucked. Based on my experience with the peacoat, I'd recommend not getting overzealous on the soaking and drying at first. The denim will shrink pretty quickly in a HOT soak, so give it a soak while monitoring it by measuring something like sleeve or body length every few minutes. Then, when it is at a point where you think it might work, let it hang dry a bit and try it on damp. If it needs further shrinking, try another hot soak and/or some drying a little at a time... If it shrinks up too short, there's pretty much no going back.

Those look fantastic, CD! I really wish I could find a pair of those from the original run. Well done!

Cool. Let me know. It's also up on Ebay, so if it sells there, I'll change the status here to sold.

Now I'm jealous! That's a good idea, though. I usually get a decent return.

^^^Thanks for the heads up. I am seriously considering this, but $35 shipping is pretty steep!

Good idea... Thanks.

One last flannel left! I am open to reasonable offers on it.

Another price drop on the flannels!

^^Yeah, I'm tempted! I'm a little worried about overdoing it, though. Besides, the MFSC 7161s are not easy to find at the moment. I wonder if tmadd is still selling his pair of 32s from the original run....

Holy Christ.

The buckle backs are 23SP21A, which run 1" larger than tagged, so maybe a 32 is in order then. I'm mostly disappointed that they have a taper, though. What I really want is a pair of straight leg jeans with no taper, and a leg opening of 9"+, and a buckle back would be great. MFSC then?
