I just bought a virtually unused Liberty Issue peacoat off of Rakuten (only $440!) and there was no tax or import fees. Tenso gave me a shipping coupon too so shipping plus proxy was only an additional $20.

I just gave it a hot soak the other night and its fitting pretty nice!

I have a size small non-Liberty one for sale now if anyone is interested. Barely any sign of wear and unsoaked

[attackwithstones]

Dave, thats a great score! I almost picked that up, but I already have both Mullholland Masters and the Troy Deck Jacket. I love Rakuten, I got my Brown Mullholland Master for $430 (which includes both shipping and proxy fees) this past winter. Sold as used, but it was brand new. Maybe it was stolen?

it must of been described as used - domestic tax would only usually apply to new goods.

Gunslinger pants continue to rip.

People in Japan dont steal, even though it would be incredibly easy to

I just purchased a pair of these, I hope they are going to be OK?

I've always admired Mister Freedom for the creativity and originality of the pieces in each collection. I don't always like 'em, but I can definitely respect them. That said, I'm not that crazy about the new denim prairie shirt. Just kind of looks like a less cool version of the Liberty CPO. It's a great material that will wear in nicely over time, just feels like too much of a retread to me.

probably. john was surprised these ripped so soon.

all's getting taken care of on my end, Mister Freedom FTW.

Got this MF utility shirt from the 2008 line

[Thor]

THAT IS A CPO MAN, VERY NICE

[hollowsleather]

Fork over the shirt and no one gets hurt.

[rnrswitch]

I thought this was called the denim utility shirt and pre-dates the CPO. Not sure though.

described as the utility shirt - is there any difference between them?

MF Gunslinger Jumper - Indigo Size 40

Raw

Chest: 24

Depth (bottom of collar to hem): 30 1/4

Sleeve: 28 1/4

Shoulder width: 19

Cold soak 20 minutes - line drip dry

Chest: 23 3/4

Depth (bottom of collar to hem): 28 5/8

Sleeve: 27

Shoulder width: 18 1/4

colour is extremely dark indigo with some purple hues - it runs a lot

may give it another soak to get any further shrinkage out

and add some softner in as it's quite a coarse fabric

fit is great - could lose another half inch in the sleeve

[stingray1381]

I soaked mine twice, both in hot water and the second soak forced a lot of additional shrinkage.

I believe the main difference is the CPO is a heavier denim shirt. The utility shirt is the 189 and the CPO is 189md, so the CPO is a modified demin utlity shirt

Seeking post-soak measurements on a medium midnight CPO. Can anyone help me out?

MF Gunslinger Jumper - Indigo Size 40

Raw

Chest: 24

Depth (bottom of collar to hem): 30 1/4

Sleeve: 28 1/4

Shoulder width: 19

Cold soak 20 minutes - line drip dry

Chest: 23 3/4

Depth (bottom of collar to hem): 28 5/8

Sleeve: 27

Shoulder width: 18 1/4

2nd cold soak - I added some softner as the fabric is quite coarse

Chest: 23 1/4

Depth (bottom of collar to hem): 28 1/4

Sleeve: 26 3/4

Shoulder width: 18

think that will do for now - I won't hot wash, but I'm sure if I did there would be further shrinkage.

the prairie shirt in raw denim seems to be a different size to the prairie shirt in raw red calico shirt - appears to be the same in shoulders, sleeves and depth but about 2 inches narrower in the chest.

that seems a bit strange if they are cut from the same pattern?

wonder what the shrinkage is like on the denim?

[arcarsenal]

I noticed that too, and I'm wondering the same. I've got one on the way sized Medium, which is my usual size for most MF shirting. I'll post up the raw and cold soak measurements when I get it.

[wgmds]

i'll get this shit out of here.

[ravennavaro]

actually it's not that weird, different fabrics have different characteristic after sewn together. but, mf has always been doing this to most of their shirting, and that measurement is at the initial condition, after wear everything will stretch

maybe the word weird was inappropriate - perhaps the word "surprising" should of been used.

I am led to believe the denim will shrink not stretch!

[Gnob]

i cant be of much help. i didnt soak mine, but read somewhere that shrinkage will definitely occur but like all denim it will stretch back alittle since its rather light weight. the thing about it, is that it bleeds really bad.

I really wish wgmds would actually buy some pants. Some time soon.

[wgmds]

i know, i know! i'm broke and talk a big game/ really wish i could get everything! i was going to go for the pique jeans, but they're too light for my winters for me to justify the price .

Shameless plug time - finally admitted that my Mulholland Master sz 40 is too big. I waxed it meticulously about 6 weeks ago and it looks incredible. for sale here: http://www.styleforum.net/t/295648/mister-freedom-mulholland-master-sz-40-waxed/0_40
