MISTER FREEDOM

yap - perfect (out)fit....

[Medine]

love that sweater eltopo, too bad that sweater is $300. MF price is kinda ridiculous

[akuma no uta]

So the new boots will be closer to the "over a grand" range that was first quoted to me. Oh well...

[rnrswitch]

Those boots are beautiful, but for reals, a grand for boots? That is ridiculous. Are they at least horsehide?

they would look great with the 3K jacket

[Guest Hobaud]

Sucks that it's still too hot to wear that sweater here in Los Angeles. By the way, the navy and h.grey sweaters and mechanic shirt is on the way.

Looks good eltopo. After being pretty indifferent to this season's offerings, I'm really starting to like the shirt & sweatshir.

[PETEROCK1]

good stuff, eltopo! almost gave in and bought the dungarees and sweatshirt.... but the mortgage had to of come first

.

[TallyHo]

goddamnit. can't decide whether to pos or neg eltopo!

...just when i was feeling comfortable passing on the sweatshirt, you had to post those pics! looks so good!

...i'm gonna have to think things over. maybe go in to MF to try one on... i might get impulsive :eek:

[Christmas In A Submarine.]

how are folks -- specifically eltopo and therelativity -- sizing the dungarees? On the MF website it says they will shrink to tagged size, but I'm assuming they will stretch out a good deal as well. Did the two of you buy true to size or size down one and anticipate the stretching?

thanks.

Should we be sizing these like we do our Okinawa's? My Okinawa's are a size 33 and I could size down on them (told myself I would with my next pair). So I was thinking the Dungarees in a size 32 would be great.

The sizing on the Mechanic's Sweater and Mechanic's Shirt is really important to note too. The Jump from a medium to large is huge in the chest this time around for both so it would be great to know what size everyone is wearing in this (and what size they usually wear in Mister Freedom gear).

[akuma no uta]

I'm going with a medium in the sweatshirts for the 1950's boxy tight fit. I also did a 34 in the dungarees, should be here tomorrow, much documentation will take place. I'm doing a large in the mechanics sweatshirt, not sure if this is helping anybodys sizing questions hahahaha

[YoungPunch]

Does anyone know what kind of rubber soles are used on the boots?

[therelativity]

My MF jeans (the ones with the red detail) is a size 28 - I wear them raw - fit lightly tighter than the dungarees.

My dungarees are also a 28 - did a hot soak - they are more roomy - perfect for cycling.

For reference (my other jeans)

SEXI08 size 28

APC NS/NC size 26

BTW, the dungarees start to fade

[eltopo]

Some more photos for fun. Thanks guys !Relativity is right the dungarees are already starting to fade nicely. For more close up images click here.

eltopo is officially my favorite poster on SuFu. you've got a hell of a look. you remind me of my uncle, but really well dressed

You definitely need the size 32 in the dungarees.

Eltopo:

fantastic photos! and I pmed you back, but huuuuge thanks again for the precise sizing advice... can't rep, etc etc.

[jacob_davis]

as for the price of the road champs. i heard they were going to be $800.

[therelativity]

eltopo's photos are superb.

I did a cuff in his way and wear them with the vest today:

Someone, anyone, please sell me your shore shorts (size28). Thank you!

[Rivet Head]

eltopo should be the model for MFSC! Much rep!

[blm14]

@ eltopo, nice firearms.

[beatle]

in the tub now!!!

[zissou]

I hope you took it out of the padded envelope.

[akuma no uta]

Yes hahaha I did, I did a quick presoak fit and they were HUGE...

[zissou]

cool. Post up some post soak fits when you get the chance. Also, I bet everyone would be interested in post-soak measurements to see how much shrinking there was.

Listen to me... I sound like I am actually going to buy these! I'm just trying to live vicariously through you all.

[zissou]

I just noticed that the 301 Okinawa denim on the left leg of my 7161's and pea coat are LHT, but not on the signal vest.

[Christmas In A Submarine.]

just ordered my pair of dungarees. everyone cross your fingers with me for a happy sizing outcome!

[fardin]

captain zissou the pic is great! awesome combo

what´s the vest your wearing?
