MISTER FREEDOM

[Happy Hooligan]

I noticed that Jcrew left off on all their photos of the pink ice-cream cone throat latch....

[zissou]

^Please show us a picture of what on earth you are talking about. There is a brown crescent shaped throat cover that is lined with the same red plaid cotton fabric as the sleeves(?).

It's Red And Black Plaid

[Happy Hooligan]

sorry, all the pictures I've seen it looks like pink plaid.

[jacob_davis]

I have seen them all in person. I went and checked out the mulholland master and the bronco champ jacket. Didn't really like either one and regarding the bronco champ, I was ready to be blown away by the leather, but I would still rather have an Aero over that jacket any day, even it wasn't so flashy. I did see the boots, which are beautiful, but there is no way I could justify a grand for those boots. Maybe $600-$700.

The pieces are all really nice looking and well made, but I still feel like the price is a bit high.

the boots are only going to be $700. i say "only "lightly.

[zissou]

^kiya mentioned that they were $1200...

[jacob_davis]

"Road Champs will be somewhere around 800.00...I know its a big big price tag, but they are essentially custom boots. We'll be posting all kids of details shortly explaining why so much."

so i just checked an email from katherine at mister freedom. i was mistaken. the road champs will be around $ 800.

[rnrswitch]

Huh, considering that a custom pair of wescos runs about $600, I would much rather have those Mister Freedoms. They are exactly what I want in a boot.

[edmond]

i need pictures of that boot

[kiya]

They're going to cost somewhere between $850 and $1745.

[akiyama71]

thank you kiya...

[rnrswitch]

They're going to cost somewhere between $850 and $1745.

Really? Are there going to be two versions? One with over the top branding and one without?

My last comment about the prices was a joke..

We're getting the Bronco Champ in this week, the non-star version only.

[zissou]

^I thought your prices were if you wanted one boot or two...

[rnrswitch]

I guess my comment should have had a (10) at the end of it.

[glimmertwins]

^I thought your prices were if you wanted one boot or two...

Now THATS funny enough to deserve this ridiculous emoticon.

[B-Dawg]

one mo

Love the roping effect on the neck. Shitty pic, but maybe you can also see the different shades of blue on the collar piece? It's gonna fade?

This one just has the hemmed bottom by the way, and significantly longer sleeves.

Sup Markmont

[zissou]

Nice, man! That one fits well, from what I can tell.

[PETEROCK1]

b-dawg, looks good. glad you copped it. if not, i might have. it was also nice to finally meet you.

[rnrswitch]

That roping effect would be considered a defect in most clothing factories. But, such is the way of vintage clothing reproductions.

[Medine]

roping like that can happen on a product where the pieces werent cut correctly from the pattern, idk if this is the case here tho

[rnrswitch]

It also occurs when the machine pulls on the top layer of fabric more than the bottom layer. A lot of industrial sergers and chainstitchers will have a mechanism to pull the material through evenly for both the top and bottom layers yielding no "roping," but when working with extremely stretchy material like jersey and this ribbed material, the worker needs to be very careful that the top and bottom are correctly being fed through. This may have been purposely done in this case, which is very difficult to consistently and precisely pull off the "correct" amount of offset. I would be interested to see if other thermals have this "feature." If they do it was probably intentional or a biproduct of the production process, if not, it was probably not intentional in which case this "feature" would just add to the character of the shirt if the wearer likes it (which it appears B-Dawg does like it), or annoy the shit out of the wearer if he/she doesn't like it.
