MISTER FREEDOM

Thank you riff & ThisSunday.

Riff- the sleeves are 3/4 length.

TS- the boating jersey is made in the US from deadstock fabric, the Marinière by Sugarcane out of new fabric and imported. Looks like the same pattern to me.

riff makes me even more excited for arrival of Troy...3 more weeks

Riders Dungarees II (The Deuce)

I could fit the sz. 30 but wound up upsizing to a 32 owing to a lack of odd sizing, the minimally-stretching-reinforced-waistband, and all-around comfort. Then I did two hot (wash-bagged) machine rinses for much shrinkage. My softest spot has always been for trouser-style denims, so these are undoubtedly my favorite jeans in years, although the suspender buttons pose a kinda belt problem, and uncuffed they tend toward a sort of flared silhouette thanks to the map pockets. Dig the new ticking fabric (and even cooler, that they retained the plaid for the watch pocket).

Pre-soak...

And post...

[Vinneus]

so whats the major diff between the old and new riders? no map pockets would be siiiiiq....

[jaspar]

^New Riders bear suspender buttons, like Midnight + Chino Riders. They also use deadstock, French, ticking fabric instead of the plaid madras for all but the watch-pocket, pocket bags; and to line the pull tabs. Lastly, they have what MF says is a `slightly` higher rise, but to me seems just shy of an inch; so slightly more than slightly,

Sadly, map pockets are retained, but I figure they could probably be removed by any half-decent tailor, not that I would.

[Vinneus]

figured... higher rise is a plus though. enjoy em!

[zissou]

Removing the map pockets would be a pain in the ass since they are sewn into the outseam. Plus, aren't they riveted?

Call me crazy, but if someone had a size 40 Buzz Rickson 1910 pea coat, I just might trade my MFSC Liberty Issue pea coat for it....

[jaspar]

They are riveted, so removing them - which I am neither endorsing nor pursuing - would leave 2 unseemly holes in one`s calves, but a reputable tailor could likely pretty easily open then resew the outseam. I`m not saying it wouldn`t be far too much trouble; just feasible.

Got Jawnz!...

Diggin' the "12" patch. Nice touch.

Riders Dungarees II (The Deuce)

I c

Love the new ticking details... synchronicity, we're just been discussing this as a workwear fabric in the Jeans of the Old West thread.

[zissou]

Cold as hell here today...

[ThinFinn]

Nice fit there Zissou!

What r the boots?

Can't see so well cuz I'm on the phone atm...

Edit:

Got the answer ...

[badseed]

are the new riders out??

did i miss something?? sorry about al the ??

[technicolor]

Just to make a quick correction to the below post.. The original Riders Dungarees did not use plaid madras fabric for the pocket bags or back pocket lining but instead used the same covert (salt and pepper) material used in the original release Mechanics Shirt. And both the Riders Dungarees and the Riders Dungarees II use the plaid fabric for the watch/coin pocket.

So the Riders Dungarees II swap the covert fabric (sad to see that because the covert fabric was one of my favorite details on my pair) in the pocket bags/back pocket lining for French Cotton Ticking, adds suspenders buttons, and makes the rise slightly higher (good for bulkier guys such as myself).
