LOT44 means 1944 cut?

[jaspar]

Nice pick up. I love that metisse fabric. I only have the hat and the color is amazing. Need to see a RoyxCone & Hirondelle fit pic. I ordered the black pullover and it should be here any day now.

Different colors? I wonder what they will be offering. Looking forward to that.

Did you see the pique jeans?

^I did. I've been coveting them since they previewed a view months back so I went Sat to try them on. They did not disappoint. The motorcross inspiration was clear - namely in the snap, tab front - and the fit was top-notch; slim but not too, nice high rise, fabrics are good and thickish. Evidently they chiefly draw from photos of Paul Newman and Steve McQueen - not together - on dirt bikes in white racing pants.

Now I just need the scratch, but not that much at 'just' $279.

If those are a 1944 cut then I will definitely be getting a pair!

Fits from the weekend

Off duty CPO

Gilet de Ville & Casquette Ouvrier

Also broke out the deck jacket. It seed like I was just wearing this thing. Can't believe it's snowing already

[jaspar]

They seem definitely slimmer than that. More like the 1954 Californians, most likely.

[stickshift]

Oh well, hopefully the thighs are bigger than the 1954 lot...

My black chemise Hirondelle arrived today and as expected it's amazing. I love the fabric. I'll try to get some fit pics up this weekend

[flatpattern]

everyone is getting different pieces, it will be interesting to see peoples fit pics.

[ThisSunday]

A quick pic showing how I plan on accessorizing my latest purchase. Hirondelle on hirondelle action. A little touch of dandyism. I'm sure it looks silly but I'll give it a shot or two

[flatpattern]

Just got my Speedway jeans this morning, the fabrics is amazing. Two thumbs up for the customer service at MF too. first time ordering direct, nice guys

I'm on the fence on the size. they recommended 34s size up to a 36 but i'm not so sure. if they shrink like they say they will it will be ok. they dont seem very slim legged to me either, first pair of MF pants for me so nothing to compare to. not sure what to do, send back for 34's or keep and hope they shrink

looking good ThisSunday! i like the pin

[jaspar]

They didn't have a 35? I thought they did odd sizes. They def shrink. When I was in store the diff between a 32 washed vs. raw was notable and the 'washed' had only been so for 10 mins in cold water.

Which color did you get?

[flatpattern]

no 35's, jumps 34 to 36, they said a 36 will shrink down to a 34.5, i've decided to keep them and give them a good wash and see what happens. Ill use the cinch and tighten them up that way if I need to, I'd rather have them looser then to tight. ill go with their advice.

i figured the fabric would be heavier then it is, its surprisingly light. snaps up front and no belt loops has a nice clean look to it.

I'd love to see a fit pic, they recommended me to size up as well. I'm on the fence whelter to buy these or save a little more up for the moleskin pantalons.

[baldy]

i feel the same as you MvK... I think I really like the fabric and cut but i def would like to see more fit pics... and I'm thinking I usually wear 33 in jeans, if I get the 34 will it be too small after it shrinks? seeing as the 36 shrank to 34.5...

[flatpattern]

^^^ all other sizes they said shrinks by an inch, except the 36 which go down to 34.5, that was with a cold rinse and a light tumble in the drier.

I took before pics and will wash and line dry them today and see what happens. They barely sit on my hips so they are going to need to shrink up, hopefully the legs will tighten up as they are lose as well.

[min2max]

I'm exactly in the same boat as all of you, i'm a true 34 and they advised a 36 which sounded kinda nuts to me since the website mentions "very minimal waist shrinkage" but they also told me the 36 would go down to 34.5, so i'm really curious to see how flatpattern's turn out..

btw, here are the measures they gave me:

34 RAW

Waist: 34

Inseam: 33

34 Rinsed

Waist: 32 1/2

Inseam: 32 ½

36 RAW

Waist: 36

Inseam: 33

36 Rinse

Waist: 34 1/2

Inseam: 32 1/2

I was hoping that the 1944's would be wider cut too....

[rnrswitch]

Wait is this discussion about the 44s or some other pair of pants. I think the 44 is a slightly wider cut.

[JL77]

The much anticipated MF denim jacket, the Ranch Blouse, just arrived at SELA. It looks just as good as I remembered from the expo. I'm tempted to take one of these home...

[halberdklown]

^ how much will they be going for?

[attackwithstones]

I though the 54's were plenty wide. I thought they were very representative of a 50's cut, I wish I could get a pair of MF jeans with an 8" leg opening. I'd be in heaven.

[jacob_davis]

im saying more like 10 inch opening would perfect.

[roy6]

If anyone is interested in a pair or Rider's Dungarees, size 33 (actually measure 33!) drop me a pm.

[attackwithstones]

Agree to Disagree. I have size US 7 shoes, so a 10" leg opening SWALLOWS my foot.

You are tall and have a bigger foot and therefore a 10" leg opening would be better suited for you.

[skootb]

can someone post a pic of the back of the speedway jeans? the picture on the mister freedom site has the tag covering the pockets

how high is the rise?

[jaspar]

^Rise is high. At least 11". The leg opening didn't strike me as that wide, but def not 8"

[flatpattern]

Speedway jeans

[jaspar]

Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit pics!

(Please)

[ThisSunday]

The Ranch Blouse is up on the site. Check out the swatches

[rnrswitch]

My guess is the 44s will be available in all those fabrics as well.
