The only reason I cracked after a year is because I saw a litter of labrador puppies get run over by a car.

was it a car or a truck with flames down the side?

[Rivet Head]

They've had a link up for a while. Too bad the people have to read all the bullshit about how (in)authentic the paint job on Christophe's truck is. God forbid the guy should have a little fun.

Would it be better to see a fake truck with real patina, than a real truck with fake patina?

[zissou]

To be honest, I don't really care.

Couple fun fit photos nothing special, horrible weather ect, not much around to photograph.

Everythings lookin good man. Those jeans are losing some indigo. Is the mulholland wet in the pics or is it the wax that is making it look black?

I believe that's another mulholland jacket... the new black one...

[pennyoka]

^^^ I'm pretty sure it is the black one that just released, since the brown one has the clasps, and the black has regular buttons

[kiya]

We just got the new black MM jacket in and i seriously think it's the nicest single garment MF have put out yet.

What's really strange is that the brown was not for me at ALL, it just wasn't my style, but for some reason the same thing in black with the navy/white plaid accents makes it.

yah, +1 for the black one... the brown one was neat, but I'm with kiya on it not being something I could probably pull off... the black one appears to be a different story entirely.

also, Eltopo: that seagull picture is awesome.

[zissou]

I'm thinking that black MM and a pair of IH 21oz jeans would make the perfect riding gear.

[ThisSunday]

eltopo, great pics as usual. the 3D pic you mention on your blog sounds cool.

The black MM looks better without the belt. I think I'm the only one on here who liked the belt with the brown MM.

[Dead_Wizard]

It's amazing what a difference a few details makes. With the snaps and sans the belt, the black mulholland master has a much more military vibe than the brown; reminds me of something that would have come out of the Buzz Rickson/William Gibson collection.

Same price as the brown one, we already have them in both stores, going up online this week.

+1--still enjoying my brown--sometimes with belt on cold days. black looks great but reminds me too much of my belstaff.

It's a fantastic looking jacket with some utility, but wouldn't it be a very unsafe piece of riding gear? I'm not sure a cotton jacket would even offer protection from abrasion, let alone impact. Ditto even the most heavyweight jeans.

I bring this up because I've been casually browsing for motorcycle gear that meets reasonable safety standards and isn't absolutely awful on the eyes. I haven't found much yet, and nothing with that vintage aesthetic, which is a little disappointing.

[zissou]

I've thought about that, and if I wore it for longer rides, I'd undoubtedly wear armor under it, which probably means I'd need to size up, so I dunno at this point...

Yeah cotton is def not best for sliding, but the MM black is pretty sweet for around town I think. Def the nicest "International" styled jacket in the world if you ask me. Would be good for short rides in cool weather . . . but here in LA the MM would be too heavy most of the year anyway.

Cordura, leather or kevlar. Belstaff makes a nice line with built in armor. I got an Oliver's Mount from Urban Rider's in London they shipped here no problem. It's like a short, leather Tourist Trophy.

Check out the textile jackets on this site too they have some great ones, Belstaff makes cordura tourist trophies, much safer than cotton, but they do make wax cotton ones with built-in armor now too.

Triumph makes some nice "vintage-aesthetic" jackets too but they are Chinese made and Triumph-branded, though some are subtle.

MF Speed-Safe is a beautiful, amazing line of motorcycle-themed pieces but I wouldn't want to do the ton in it!

So Eltopo, you have 2 MM's now!? Are you going to wax the black one too?

Read my mind.

Yeah I am going to wax the black one in a week or so. I will post photos of the progression for anyone interested.

Great, I cannot wait! I honestly might have to Wax one or a few of my own items very soon... Thanks for the process flicks eltopo.

FYI, Just posted a quick review of the White J.Crew Chambray Shirt on my blog: http://vintageengineerboots.blogspot.com/

Also, looks like the sale is over, so the MF digs are back up

[rnrswitch]

Fucking J-crew should be shot in the head for putting a union style label on their clothes and having them made in China.

[Vinneus]

who's got a pair of riders dungerees for me in a size 32? i dont care how worn....

Finally something i agree with you on.

[marineabilly]

Kiya's got 'em...they're new at SelfEdge

[Vinneus]

I am all to aware of that fact, I drop by seny on the reg. to say what's up to Andrew and visit the dungerees.they are worth every penny, all of which I don't have at the moment. I'm looking for a supermarket second hand sale....

[marineabilly]

That was a blatent joke - I, too, want a pair. Good luck with the hunt. I'll probably end up buying from SelfEdge.
