MISTER FREEDOM

[attackwithstones]

Marineabilly is wearing the Off Duty Cpo shirt. It's a few seasons old but an amazing piece.

The Road Champs are brown. I think a few of them have been black but I haven't seena black pair come up online in awhile

[indigoeagle]

Thanks for the info.

Whenever I saw a pic of the RCs they always looked brown, so I was surprised when I saw that on the MF site they are described as black. Perhaps there is also a difference between the first and the second batch.

marinebilly, that's a great fit. Definitely my style

[yanansi]

anyone got a size M denim CPO shirt for sale, can't get it off my mind.

[tkoy]

Received the Ranch Blouse yesterday and after a hot soak in the tub for a couple of hours, the sleeves and body shrunk 2 inches in length. It is a size 36 J22 Cone denim.

Are the 44 jeans made from NOS denim like the 54 s ??

[rubyblue]

Yup... at least those we received for europe

[ihatebrianwilliams]

Mister freedom site had an update.

Great job guys.

[Happy Hooligan]

... interesting.

[heprof]

Looks like they're having a lot of fun with this! Half expecting Johnny Dep to pop out somewhere.

[badseed]

Looks very good.

Is that the Chambray in black?

And I have a question regarding the Road Champs: They're black originally, right? On most pictures they look very brown, though. Is that generally the way the black evolves with the leather on good engineer boots or thanks to the special colouring process of the Road Champs?

On the MF site it says:" The black leather will fade with tones of dark brown/chocolate/olive."

The colour looks really unique. Nothing like a simple brown or aged brown one like this RedWing http://www.redwingam...gineer-copper-r

regarding the colour,its hard to explain,but pretty much a brown

mine are reddish brown,some parts dark chocolate

a funny thing happened,just before starting work i popped in to the nearest cafe for a coffee and someone said "i think i made your hat"

I was wearing my MF Greaser and the dude worked at the leather section of Toyo/Sugarcane,he is in Melbourne visting his new niece

[attackwithstones]

pix of you in the hat. i always wish we had more photos of the old pieces in action.

[big truck]

On the theme of old pieces, does anyone recall a leather bag by MF, thick shaggy cream and light brown leather with the words ;Motor Crew' on one side and 'Freedom Cycle' on the other? Im sure Ive seen it somewhere before (maybe here but missed it).

MF lot 44 is ready at the store, I ordered in the fabric of P1, which should be similar to J1 in ranch blouse, the other option is Cone fabric, they only make size 38 in those fabrics.

[ihatebrianwilliams]

I tried on the lot 44 today one size down from my 54. Loved the fit. Sizing and fit seems the exact same as the 54. The only difference I could call out is that the coin pocket is really deep. Hope I have a chance to get over to the MF store this weekend and see what some of the other fabric do for it.

[attackwithstones]

Brian, do your lot 54 fit you tight in the waist, or do you have some room? Do the 44's seem bigger raw than your 54's raw, thus the reason for sizing down 1?

[rkusmant]

The measurement chart is at selfedge web, I'm taking same size both 54 vs 44, the NOS fabric is 1" more in waist compared to Cone's

I tried on the 33 because I always felt that a 33 would have been a better fit. I feel like I have just a little to much room in the waist on the 54. I know that the 44 are going to be offered in diffent fabrics. But the ones I tried on were of the same denim.

I stacked a pair of 54s in a 33 right next to a pair of 44s in a 33 and check waist, rise and leg opening. I did not see much if any of a difference.

Also the American 44s have really sharp cinch strap prongs. Watch out for that. The Japanese version will have the safety issued ones like the lvc pants have.

Hope that helps.

How heavy is the Mulholland Master? I'm interested in it but wondering if it would be to hot for NorCal. Thanks.

[attackwithstones]

Flatpattern, the Mulholland master is not that heavy. I think it would be perfect for your climate. It's also the nicest jacket Ill ever own. It is good to layer when it gets really cold, but is warm on it's own.

agree! Also, the more you wear, the more it conforms to your body. most of my MF wear have this unique quality:

[ranonranonarat]

beautiful, thanks for sharing that picture. need to see more pictures of the mulholland worn. its a really beautiful piece that should be on everybody's wishlist if they didn't already have one.

[flatpattern]

thanks so much for the pics and info guys. i think i'm going to go for it, was going to buy two smaller pieces but I think I would rather have the jacket. Now I just need to decide on the color, I have a black motorcycle but that brown sure is tempting. Speaking of MF gear forming to your body, that mechanics sweatshirt just keeps getting better and better.

[big truck]

I think the brown mulholland is the more interesting of the 2 colours. Its a slughtly unusual brown and the black one is, for me, too similar to Barbour or Belstaff.

[arcarsenal]

Love that mulholland master. been on my list for a while now.

i bit the bullet and bought an NOS chambray in red to compliment my green one. sized this one in a small rather than the medium that i wear in the green. turns out it's just a bit too small... the bottom of the shirt just pulls a bit too much to close flush with the placket. going to see if they have my size in a medium red, but in the off chance someone wanted to trade a medium red for a small... do let me know!

[rnrswitch]

I just picked up the 44s in P16 (unsanforized LHT). Beautiful fabric and great subtle details. I suggest folks consider the lht that the 44s are offered in. They are P14, P16 and P18 I believe. There isn't much left, so jump on it soon if you plan on getting them. The regular cone denim that the 44s are offered in is great as well. i am considering picking that up as well, as a back up and maybe some comparisons down the road.

[badseed]

anyone had a crack at the new chinos yet?

[big truck]

I picked up the 44s in p9. No idea which denim p9 equates to. There were a few rinsed pairs on the rack in the MF store and these felt pretty good, quite heavy and slubby. Tried them and they were a perfect fit in a 34. Tried another pair in 33 (labelled lot 44) and they werent a bad fit either, good in the waste but a slimmer look which defeats the object of these jeans. I could have bought the pair of 34s I tried but decided to take a raw pair with me. Not doing the soak yourself just isnt right?! Im usually between 34 and 36 in most jeans so I was mightly surprised to get into the 33s after soaking but then Ive no idea which denim it was. Felt like it would stretch a bit.

made me chuckle

from the MF site

"* FIT: Based on the general silhouette/image of the “BRMC†blue jeans of the Wild Ones (1953). Traditional mid-rise, “tubular†silhouette legs, fit seat.

These blue jeans are NOT skinnies, as we don’t dig the ‘men in tights’ or “girlfriend’s jeans†thingy."
