MISTER FREEDOM

[Turntabloid]

Can somebody explain me the difference between the Type MFSC N-1H Jacket and the Buzz Rickson Hook Deck Jacket?

The whole material used is definitly the same. Additionally, the MF jacket is also produced by SugarCane (Toyo Enterprises), same as the Buzz Rickson.

The only difference that is obvious to me is the stenceling!

Odd thing is, the MF Jacket costs me 810-890$ (630-700€) when I buy it in the US and 800€ when I buy it in a local shop - but, the BR Jacket costs me 340€ in Japan and 200 Pounds Sterling (230€) in the UK. Shipping not incl., except for the generous offer by SelfEdge and the local shop.

Seems to be a mismatch somehow - so what is the big difference?!

No offence here, I really just want to know the difference - actual facts!

I know that C. goes a long way to get everything right, according to his vision and detailed as hell ...

Is it the cut? Did I miss some material details? I simply do not get it!

[Turntabloid]

sam, that is simply put 'amazing'!

The cut is very different - the Mister Freedom deck jacket has no knit at the bottom. Instead it has draw strings, and is longer waisted. It is the bottom of a a N-1 Deck jacket, essentially. The Buzz jacket will be short and boxy, similar to a Army Tanker jacket. The blanket lining is particular to the Mister Freedom jacket, as well, though yes, both are wool blanket lined. Also the zipper on the Buzz Rickson jacket is different from the Mister Freedom, which has a repro 30's hookless Talon slider. The Hook Deck jacket by Buzz Rickson has no zipper.

well fedex didnt have it today, so i guess i might my cpo on monday. god i fucking hate fedex

[B-Dawg]

I also procured a CPO shirt from a member on this site, Just gotta wait for it to get here from down under. Does anyone know about the next incarnation of jeans for this line? I love these past ones with the leather pocket and the back pockets but missed those as well.

[akuma no uta]

the next ones are waaayyyy out there from what ive heard.

also, just call the mr. freedom store in la, they have most sizes

[akuma no uta]

Got my cpo today! Fuck yes! Mindblowing. I soaked it in boiling water for an hour now its in the dryer on high heat, let's see if that shrinks enough

[cjbreed]

^^we'll be looking for pics

[akuma no uta]

its fitting alright everywhere but the length and the arms, might give it a hot was in the machine just to make sure all the shrinkage is out.

[Turntabloid]

anyone who has a CPO in XXL for sale?!

[akuma no uta]

i saw one a few days ago that got snagged up by b dawg, other than that, good luck man. you could probably get an xl, as it is very very very roomy.

[akuma no uta]

in case anyone who didnt get the shirt was curious as to the "dryer damage" that was talked about...

and thats with a flash, so it lightened up a bit

and yes, the shirt is long as fuck

[Turntabloid]

just had that discussion with kiya. since i will need a pit-to-pit of 22.5"-23" (45"-46" chest) after wash, the xxl seems to be the only choice.

the mf chambray does fit me in a xl, but slimmest cut possible in the chest.

[toruokada]

are you on a playscape? cpo fit looks good though at least from what I can see from here and waywt thread. would rep but i've hit some kind of limit..

[Aries]

Damn Akuma, that's a messy washer! Can you post proper fit pics, it looks good in that photo but it's obviously a bit fuzzy.

[B-Dawg]

I definitely swooped on that, sorry dude I'll be keeping that shirt out of the dryer after seeing those pics, haha. My roomies would be pissed.

Just e-mailed Christophe last week to see if I can get a pair of the 7161mds before they're all gone.

[akuma no uta]

Ill post proper fit pics when I get home, and I was on a train car for the dude that asked, its a tad long and kinda baggy in the sleeves but wonderful everywhere else!

[eltopo]

Wear starting on my MFSC 7161md's, some whiskering and knee wear starting. Got these late October and wearing them a couple times a week. No washes, when I got a them I took a cold shower in them and did my squats. Probably Not as broken in as much as Cotton Ducks but on my way. Better photos to come. Sorry for the cheesy photos on vacation. Mad props cotton and kiya for your dedication to this site! T-shirt by www.homageclothing.com, check his shit he has some great shirts.

[akuma no uta]

a bit of a better fit pic

[Turntabloid]

eltopo (especially) & akuma,

are you guys porn photographers in real life?

eltopo - your pictures make everybody want to buy c.'s stuff. try to get on his payroll!

[Aries]

Both looking great. Akuma give us a picture standing up, I suspect the shirt actually looks good lengthwise.

edit: Also Akuma, where did you get that cadet cap?

[akuma no uta]

ill try to get a standing pic today, the length isnt too ridiculous.

and uh, haha that hats from the gap

[Aries]

Haha, got a goorin one coming to me. They make great hats.

no problemo, thx for the +rep!

^^ Measurements in abit after I dry it again. Mines an XXL, it might help others for the measurements.

So after another hot wash and tumble dry my CPO is now 23.5" pit to pit. That's down an inch in the chest, so not as much shrinkage as some but hopefully gives some understanding for shrinkage.

[Turntabloid]

yes, thx!

with how many degrees did you wash it?

what is your chest size?

any pics?! :-)

[photo]

I don't know the exact temperature of the wash it was on whites which is the hottest, not the most up to date washer. I don't know my chest size exactly but I prefer buying shirts around a 46, I can reference some other shirts I got for interest if you need. Fit pic tonight, the denim is so soft and a lighter blue now its really nice.
