MISTER FREEDOM

[Bill2]

Been wearing my current season MF cargo jeans the last few days..... Had spoken to Christophe at some point a few months back about stitching the lower corners of the cargo pockets down, so they don't stand so far away from the legs..... Finally got around to doing it. Just used some indigo thread and stitched them down by hand. Used the underside of the pocket so you can't see the stitches unless you lift the pocket up slightly. Like them a lot better this way.... slims down the silouette by keeping the pockets close to my legs.... Pics once I wake up all the way....

Thanks for the help tmadd and TT. The M denim utility shirt (slimmer one wash version of the CPO) fits me perfectly. The shoulder and chest measurements of the M sweater look too small, but those are harder to measure in a sweater, especially if it stretches.

I definitely like this modification and think it definitely cleans things up, though I think as the denim ages and softens up, it might look cool to take the stitches out. I am also pretty into what Jared at Mister Freedom did with these jeans, which is remove the cargo pockets completely, it makes for a very clean and interesting looking pair of jeans, especially due to lack of an outseam...cool stuff.

One last Q: Does MFSC ever change sizing labels (i.e., size down one) for pieces sold in Japan?

[akuma no uta]

Not sure about all that, but the measurements are pretty close to self edges measurements.

I bought a one-wash chambray while I was in Japan. I thought I was buying the raw version (I was an idiot for not knowing that the shirt was one-wash at the time I bought it), so I sized up since it made sense according to the SE measurements.

You would think that one-wash sizing = raw sizing after a soak. Turns out that this wasn't the case. The measurements on my one-wash were the same as the raw (pre-soak). I ended up having to sell the chambray So be careful with sizing when comparing one-wash to raw!

[Charlie Delta]

Bill, pics or didn't happen! Did the exact same thing to mine when I just got them. Let's see if I can beat you to posting pics...

Planned on posting pics of my most recent modifications soon anyway.

So be careful with sizing when comparing one-wash to raw!

Yeah, I've heard a few stories abut one wash vs raw sizing, but I'm wondering about sizing on the sweater and whether it differs between NA and Japan.

Here's a guy who is 6" shorter and 20 lbs lighter than me wearing the medium:

Another guy who is 2" shorter and 10lbs lighter than me wearing a L:

A Medium would be a stretch on me and if it fit, it would probably be more like a tight thermal. Looks like a L would be the way to go for me... Too bad I can't find one!

Tmadd- did you definitely try on a L and it fit whereas an XL was too big?

i'm still trying to find a large also.

just throwing this out there.... but is anyone interested in the first series peacoat in a raw medium worn once (unsoaked)?

[tmadd]

Yes, definitely. The large was snug, but not extreme in the least. XL fit ok in the torso, but the length of the body and arms was longer than I would like.

Very possibly, though in all reality, I wouldn't be able to do it for a little while. Still, PM me and let me know what you would want for it.

[akuma no uta]

Damn Pete, measurements and how much? I had my eyes on the one on rakuten from the f/w but imma wait and see how yours is

you'll love the jacket. just beware of the hookless zipper. it gets a little getting used to!

[zissou]

Ah, I passed on the sweater and went for the Apolis Activism Nomad pullover at 50% off

[joelz]

They've got the MF Peacoat at the new J. Crew for Men store in SoHo - it's pretty nice, they've got a lot of the collaborations there as well

I noticed... it'll be old hat in no time.

The missus took my camera on a trip across the pond, so cell phone shots it is. Size 38 jacket. For reference, i'm 5'11 and about 180 -- depending on how good the pie is. For me, this a a perfect fit for a jacket.

[akuma no uta]

Yo peterock, infos?

[PeterParker]

I feel the same way, except I am worried about mine being too wide, I bought the large. I wear a 40 in my flathead shirts, but I wanted it to be a little oversized for the fall and winter.

I generally wear a 40 in my Flat Head shirts (40 in Black Mint grid shirt is a little short in the sleeves, 42 in houndstooth because the batch ran small), My chest measures 39" and I have the CPO in large. I bought it used and haven't given it a proper soak yet, but the chest measures 44" (22" pit-to-pit). It fits me perfectly as an overshirt. I think you'll be very happy with the fit.

Right on - love the reggae. Funny you got the CPO on...I was thinking the other day that the next thing my band does that gets immortalized in video/photo, I would probably rock my CPO too.

$#%^&* sweet. Lino Marlon and Eddie I love it.

[Dead_Wizard]

Riders dungarees and mechanics shirt are a go. Mechanics cap is pretty interesting, I'd like to see what it was based off of. Rambler pack looks like it will age really well.

[PETEROCK1]

that mechanics cap, shirt, sweatshirt, and rider dungaress are a go!

!

[Bill2]

Played around with the Backpack for a while.... really comfortable to wear and should age pretty quickly if you bang it around with you everyday.

Love the jeans.... Been looking for a denim trouser type pant forever now..... Looking forward to testing out the fit of these
