MISTER FREEDOM

[zissou]

Not going to point any fingers, but some people in his clothes look "trying,"

HEY!! (10)

If you read any interviews with him, he almost always says something along the lines of "I just make clothes I like, and I hope other people like them too."

Kiya- all the midnight stuff is going to be unwashed, yes?

[Vinneus]

done! copping the dungerees as so as they restock!

probably.

i got some midnight dungarees but will prolly put them on SM as they are 32....dont know what i had in mind when i bought them. you are 32 right?

still i dont know if they shrink a lot or not.

not enough photos of Katherine

[DocBlue]

i agree

[kiya]

Zissou, i think Self Edge is the only place in the world that carries all the MF stuff unwashed/raw.

[rnrswitch]

What about Mister Freedom?

[zissou]

Yeah, MF usually has the raw stuff, too. The midnight twill looks interesting when washed, but I wouldn't want to buy something washed.

DocBlue- yeah, I am a 32

[kiya]

Yes, sorry.. i just assumed that was a given.

Many of the Japanese stores i've seen MF in actually seem to carry the stuff in hardwash only, very odd..

[zissou]

Yeah, it's strange. I've heard something about how Christophe retains the rights to selling the raw goods (or deciding where they are sold?), but do the Japanese have a general aversion to raw?

Sometimes, it seems the hard washed stuff is more expensive, too. Why pay more for something you might not be able to wear as long?

[edmond]

i got mine from japan and these are raw riders chinos!

This one is pretty obvious since they have to put more work into fucking it all up.

If someone made a paté of foie gras, took a dump on it and sold it, it would necessarily have to be more expensive than a regular foie gras paté.

Love the analogy, Opie.

i agree. i love Katherine , she is the best.

[zissou]

Well, I know what you are saying, Opie, in that more work costs more money. But, I am not sure your analogy quite works because there has to be some appeal to the end product Shit on foie gras probably wouldn't appeal to anyone, but you never know...

[heprof]

are these going to shrink when i wash em?

Did you end up soaking or washing these?

At MF, they had pre-washed ones to help folks size them because they were shrinking more than they anticipated. They seem to shrink A LOT!!!

I'll take my jeans sans dump.

Denim Peacoat at 5~6 Months.

Initial soak on day one, soak #2 at 4 months to remove restaurant smell and Sierra Mist Syrup.

Still cannot get over how well this thing is constructed

[zissou]

Nice! Mine doesn't have nearly that much wear on it, but then again I can't wear the Liberty Issue as often...

I'm just saying:

But I take it you didn't buy the book?

[edmond]

i cant afford for these to shrink theyll be like april77 if they shrink more

[Shangers]

Nice fit Ed. Wear 'em for about another week, see if they loosen up. Then you can decide if you want to wash them.

[edmond]

thanks buddy.. ill try to wet the waist and wear em more before i soak em in cold water

[zissou]

Chino riders look great, Ed.

MFSCx3 today...

Winter decided to come back for a few days.

[DocBlue]

Black MM has landed, yesterday.

already gave in a first wash in a one hour ride under some sweet spring rainy shower. pics to come once im dried.

[DocBlue]

(cant match Zissou pics .....)

[Alex3000]

That texture looks fucking amazing, I'm still hunting a cpo.

[DocBlue]

good luck.

took me a while to find one, and its a large one, wich is a bit small for me....

[Alex3000]

Yeah I need an xl its sucks since most of these shirts are to small in the shoulders and chest.

[DocBlue]

cold wash and maximal streching can do it if you need one extra inch but no more. ....
