MISTER FREEDOM

[marineabilly]

Here are fit pics. They were "one wash" from Japan, so they arrived with a fit of size 30, but marked a 32. I couldn't have picked a better size. I'm wearing my Horsehide Beck Engineer boots with them. **Fur Ball in the first picture is complements of my two Giant Schnauzers.

Looks great man. And to steal them for less than $300 is great. That sheen should wear off after some washes.

[zissou]

SS10 looks real nice. The one temptation for me is the black Mulholland Master.

[BC3]

great!

now i can have 2 mulholland masters!

[marineabilly]

Will "one wash" Mister Freedom denim and chino's still shrink?

[ThisSunday]

I dig the Midnight Breezer, Black Mechanic Chambray & Union Ts. Not sure if I'll be able to afford anything this season though

[zissou]

They shouldn't, or if they do, they should stretch back out, especially the denim. I would only hang dry regardless.

The chinos look good on ya.

Thanks Zissou.

Well, it looks like JCREW no longer sells MF on their site. I couldn't find any MF - Just today, I was looking at the white MF chambray on the site.

Zissou the last thing you need is another badass jacket. I don't even know how you make the decision between Cameraman and MFSC Peacoat in the morning...

...they sometimes take the MF stuff off the website while they are running a sale or distributing certain promo codes. It's possible that they may not carry them any more, but I have noticed a similar pattern in the past and they ended up back on the website a few days later.

For french speakers, a really interesting interview of Christophe Loiron.

http://www.hellskitchen.fr/mister-freedom-brut-de-decoffrage/

He told an horible story about a buddy of him who imported prenium selevge denim from japan in the way to craft it in the USA. When he came to the US factory to pick up his order, he realized that they cut the selvage line and do an horible overlock striching instead, cause they were not familiar with selvage work. Everything was send to trash.

marineabilly is that an ace belt? nice fit on the pants

I'm telling you, it's not easy.

I do need a good jacket for riding my motorcycle, and what better one to choose?

[marineabilly]

No it's not. I actually got that belt from the mall 'cause the color matched a pair of my 1940's Acme Cowboy Boots I had and had a buddy stud it up about eight years ago. The buckle is from Japan but not an Ace. I now stud my own belts and have to make one just to compliment these awesome pants.

[fardin]

thanks marine

nice belt anyway and the ace belts are way to expensive anyway.

could you post some pics of your acme boots in the shoe thread.

ACE belts are redonkulous expensive...very high quality and detail though.

[marineabilly]

Oh man, I got rid of those boots sometime last year. I think I sold them on eBay or... at my last garage sale.

[zissou]

Man, in hindsight, I really should have waited to pick up all three chambray utility shirts. It would have been nice to have one of them be the chambray mechanic's shirt.

[Dead_Wizard]

I e-mailed Katherine about the Midnight Breezer, looks like a near perfect spring jacket. Not sure what I think about the mechanics chambray, although I made the assumption the original was a heavier shirt, like the CPO.

I'm glad I didn't pick up the dark blue chambray @ J Crew last weekend. Now I can justify my dark blue mechanics shirt purchase. I can't wait to see everything. Looking forward to trying on the Midnight Breezer.

Thanks Zissou.

J Crew is having a sale, so they took down all the designer pieces. Last time they didn't and a lot of people picked up chambrays and the Muholland Master for 30% off. I regret my decision not to pick that jacket up.

[marineabilly]

Lesson Learned, JCREW

Edit: Anyone know what the Midnight Riders are going to retail for?

[heprof]

Nice pants marineabilly. I take it they will develop the same character as my mulholland jacket. As advertised, they are really conforming nicely to my body and taking on qualities similar to my leather jackets, such as what you see on my sleeves:

[rnrswitch]

Jacket's coming along nicely.

[zissou]

Can't stop wearing these jeans.

[Guest BCDL]

Looks good zissou!

[ThisSunday]

Zissou, your jeans are looking better than ever and that jacket is perfect.

[zissou]

Thanks, guys. I think I'm gonna have to frame these jeans when I'm done with em.

[eltopo]

Can't stop wearing these jeans.

Zissou, what sweatshirt is that? Love it! Jeans look great!

[zissou]

Thanks! It's the Apolis Activism Autumn (Nomad) Pullover. It's actually a cotton/cashmere hooded sweater. One of my favorites.
