Correct, only the first two pages are visible i believe, can be annoying sometimes when you want to check out older stuff.

I've decided that I need a denim cap in my life. Did MF do one as part of their Naval Tailor line?

If not, any recommendations for a quality denim cap?

[Mike On Autopilot]

They've got some at the shop for $200, and an engineer style for $90.

Does anyone have any experience of the hickory striped rodeo/ranch blouse from the F/W 2011? I would like to know how much it shrinks upon soaking/washing. I know people had all sorts of experiences with the ranch blouse and it's odd sizing across the board. The jackets were not rinsed at the store so it's new to MF guys too! Thank you.

Mine did shrink quite a bit after two soaks. I did not take measures, so I couldn't tell you exactly how much. I went with a 40, which is still a bit on the roomy side - might have listened to John, who advised a 38. Odd sizing indeed. But it's ok now, and a nice jacket it is.

Thanks rocco, what size would you normally wear in mf jackets? For example I am 42 in deck jacket (usually XL in shirts) but got a 38 ranch blouse. Looking at the 40 for rodeo blouse.

My veste ouvrier is a 102, which translates to a large I guess. I have a Flathead type 1 jacket in 42, a Stevenson saddle horn jacket in 40 and a Buzz Rickson hook deck jacket in 40. Usually L in shirts. Sounds like a 40 will work for you.

Good stuff rocco, thanks again.

I just joined the ranks of road champ owners (pics tomorrow). Bought 'em for the HWBC, and I have a quick question for you guys: the foot opening seems gigantic around the ankle, and even after punching new holes in the ankle strap, my heel is a little loose. The length is absolutely perfect, and I know sizing down would leave my toes scrunched up. Anyway, I wanted to see what other owners of road champs did to make them more snug around the ankle. I have a feeling that some wear will help soften the ankle and let the strap better do its job. Thanks for your help!

[rayw44]

That's just an issue with engineer boots in the beginning. Over time it will either a) seem like less of an issue or the boot will mold a little more to your foot and it should also go away.

If it doesn't, try punching one more hole in the strap and tightening further (it may seem unlikely, but you can probably get it a bit tighter).

I also punched extra holes for my Road Champs, and they fit very well after some wear plus the extra holes.

[Ghost Cat]

Thanks for the tip, I figured the tough leather would take some time to break in. Other than that, they seem like excellent boots, and I'm honestly amazed that MF has any left in stock.

[stickshift]

That new calico shirt in the spring collection.

[itsbenhere]

Why'd ya gotta get my hopes up and make me think they updated the site with the new collection :/

[stickshift]

[itsbenhere]

i love you

Its more of an issue with the sole not being broken in and flexible yet than it is the leather. Once the sole has more bend to it the heel slippage will go away.

Ah, that makes perfect sense. It also gives me an excuse to wear these bad boys...no idea how I'm going to spread 30 days of wear out until May.

[SLAB]

okay; I will need to pick up that indigo calico or dobby ranchero shirt. They look awesome

[itsbenhere]

I need the indigo calico; that pattern is perfection in my eyes. I'm not sure how I feel about the collar though....i guess I'll just have to wait for the write-up on it.

[stickshift]

Indigo for sure...may get a dobby in addition. I missed out on the chemise calico and this looks like a nice alternative.

[konadog]

all the light blue stuff in the new collection is insane. i will go to the store soon and spend money i shouldn't.

[LFC4ever]

Cn anyone please tell me which collection the Cone Denim Frontier chino pants - SC41101 - comes from?

[big truck]

Men of the Frontier FW 2012 is your answer

[LFC4ever]

Yeah I tried searching through that catalogue to find them but obviously got confused because I couldn't find any that appeared the same as the ones at Avenue. Must have missed them. Thanks

[big truck]

I think they were the first thing to come out of that collection but seem to have been overtaken by the rest of it. Not seen any pairs being worn. I am interested to see what the fit is like.

[LFC4ever]

I did find this
