might get one of these in Duck, my only concern is the obvious bleed from the leather into the cotton.

hopefully they bleed... the more the better!

Just picked up two pairs of Mister Freedom riders in midnight and chino. John at the store advised me on size 32 in the midnight riders and size 34 in the rider chinos. Can anyone offer me advice on getting the correct fit in terms of shrinkage for these pants. John at the store has suggested the chinos come up a little small hence the size 34 option. How do these two pants behave in terms of shrinkage and what is the best way to get a custom fit (sit in the bath, cold wash, warm wash, tumble dry etc...?) Any advice or experience with these pants appreciated. Thanks

sit in bath, warm if very loose, cold if a little loose

Chinos do fit smaller in my experience so I went a size up and still snug on waist.

Blouses looking good, need to see better pictures of the jumper. That word means something different in the UK so so pleasantly surprised by what I see so far. As ever, the pictures of Christophe's own worn-in items tell a very good story.

where have you seen the jumper - link please?

Thanks. Do you know if tumble drying for a short while is a good idea?

[zissou]

In my experience, clothing doesn't shrink while drying until it is just getting to be completely dry. I think you'd be better off doing a hot soak if you need to, rather than drying. Drying can also set some annoying creases.

[okisan]

you can always hot soak them, then after most of the dripping has stopped dry them near a heater - not on the heater but near. i've done this before and it does coax a bit more shrinkage out of the fabric.

Anyone know of a Le Paletot Jacket, XXL, indigo or black moleskin for sale?

[lacadien]

I'm looking to sell this jacket (striped) that I've worn about 10 times.

I love it but its too tight in the shoulder area as I have big arms and shoulders.

I'd be willing to trade for a XXL (Size 110) in either color.

I can take pics if anybody's interested.

Does any of you buy the ranch blouse in J21 fabric (black)?

Just ordered one and wonder if I need to hot wash or cold rinse?

Joining the big sizes request, anyone with info on NOS ranch shirt in xxl?

I hadn't seen these before. Now I know what a jumper is. Nice one.

I knew it wasn't a sweater. But expected a shirt which you can't open all the way and thus have to pull over.

And right, they look very similar. Just black denim for the B&S one vs. indigo for the gunslinger.

Fùck me; finally decided to get the chaparral blouse in brown and all the japanese online stores are already sold out in size 36.

[indigoeagle]

Oh, yeah stuff moves fast there.

The same happened to me last year when I was eyeing some Apache line gilets. After a few days they were all gone.

those sleeves look a bit long!

this quote from B&S put me off:

"This jacket is fucking amazing and very, very rare."

maybe B&S is an abbreviation of something else?

Slab , clever id still has it in size 36!!!

[SLAB]

thanks Snake & Fardin; picked it up from clever!

[ravennavaro]

need to post those pics when it comes!

[Dave_SFU]

Anyone with a midnight p coat care to comment on the fit? Ive been told size down in them.

[zissou]

I wouldn't size down- it's unsanforized. Just go by the measurements on Self Edge. I bought mine slightly large and did a short hot soak. The fit is perfect.

[wgmds]

so my life just got flipped on its head. i'm considering my next pants purchase to be non denim pants. more specifically, black pants. i'm thinking about the speedway piques, anyone have a pair and care to help a brother out with a review?

[Gnob]

I got a pair in cream/white color, I can't find free time to put up pictures yet but they are unsanforized (length shrinkage for mine was an inch or so) and the fabric is really superb. I wouldn't call them jeans because of the bedcord material. they run a little slim. Easily my fav pants!

The black ones are really dark in r.l, very black and glossy surface. You will love them!
