MISTER FREEDOM

[Guest patchmb]

The riders stretch like crazy. I think you would be fine with 34's tt.

[Christmas In A Submarine.]

I wear a size 30 waist, what size waist do you recommend I get in the MF Riders to include shrinkage, ChristmasIAS?

well, given my sizing issues I may be the wrong one to ask. FWIW I wear a 36 in LVC 47s and SExSC06s, and a 34 in Kicking Mules. My guess would be that the waist should essentially fit how you want it pre-soak and that they wil stretch right out after the soak. As Patch says, they seemed pretty stretchy. Hope that helps.

i just pm'ed akuma a request on his actual measurements in the 34, just to clarify this. the inseam worries me of course. but, colad soaks and a 34 could be the way to go.

patch, do you have a 34 and could post measurments? i read numerous pages backwards, but could not find anything. maybe i am snow blind again!

edit:

here are measurements CIAS (Size 36 on Sale here: http://www.superfuture.com/supertalk/showthread.php?t=183474)

waist: 18"

front rise: 12"

rear rise: 15.5"

inseam: 32.25"

upper thigh: 13.25"

knee: 10"

leg opening: 9.75"

32.25" in the inseam (after hot soak) is really a bugger!

tt measurements of my 34's. They have had a hot soak & a wash at 40 when new to get most of the shrinkage out of the way. I also have a pair in w32 as the waist stretched so much on these & I wanted a second pair with a slimmer fit.

Waist 37"

F rise 11.5"

Thigh 13.25"

Knee 10"

Hem 9.25"

Inseam 32.25"

I can post measurement of my 32's tomorrow as they are in the wash right now.

F/W denim peacoats in most sizes

All three colors of chambrays in an assortment of sizes

A foul weather coat in 34

All the new stuff in every size

Shore jaket in most sizes

Vest in a few sizes

And so much custom made for the store stuff, its insane

[zissou]

Thanks, akuma! Totally jealous. I am so temped to call them about a dark indigo chambray....

Finally finished the full jacket. I think it looks incredible. The details are hard to pick up in photos. Smells fresh and the color is perfect. Details should be great with age and wear. Will post detail photos soon. Also the dungarees are looking pretty incredible, the denim looks great. No washed yet and don't plan on it for awhile.

^woah

Really glad to see someone killing the denim

and that mulholland looks classier and more rugged than any barbour or belstaff on the block

[beatle]

besides the jacket - the Dungarees are coming along fast !!

[bernielike]

Wow looks great.

AND if it rains out there in that desert, your jacket will keep you dry now.

[zissou]

Great photos as always, eltopo. The jacket looks fantastic. Were you in Death Valley?

eltopo any thoughts on the waxing now that it's completed? It looks great but was just wondering if you encountered any issues during the process. The color change seems like enough of a reason to go through with it.

Did you leave that patch over the right top pocket un-waxed or less-waxed on purpose?

[Piddan]

eltopo, that jacket looks incredible! + rep man

It looks like that is just dirt on the pocket, making it look lighter.

oh...duh :\

[blm14]

ok, I have to ask. What camera was used for those shots?

[eltopo]

thanks guys, yep that is just dirt/dust on the jacket. I used the Canon 5D markII for these. And yes it was that incredible out there not much photoshop at all mainly just polarizer.

[almostnice]

that was my first guess seeing those contrasty pics.i love to use my analogue cam,still amazes me what a polefilter can do on a sunny day.

[oboy_oboy]

Great photos as always, eltopo. The jacket looks fantastic. Were you in Death Valley?

Agreed. Awesome coat and the denim looks killer.

Z ,that's Joshua Tree. Def. worth a visit sometime (esp if you rock climb). I love it there--grew up going a lot.

[Turntabloid]

just got the shore jacket NWT in L from a swap with a SF user.

the L fits perfect, I definitely needed to size down on those - just as good ol' cottonduck was suggesting.

fit pics later. just happy now.

[ThisSunday]

For some reason these 2 pics make me think of 'Where The Wild Things Are.' The jacket looks great. Good job on the waxing. You definitely are brave.

[Vanquish Gold]

wow eltopo you could start a look book for Mister Freedom, think they will sponsor you free clothes for life.

[akuma no uta]

El topooooo I love itttt next time you're in LA make sure you hit me up for some coffee and pictures!
