You will not regret it! Also, here is another article/ interview on Christophe and MF:

Lando, that was excellent reading.  From when I first encountered MF's designs around 3 years ago I always got the impression that whoever it was behind it (now I know it's Christophe Loiron) forged their own path.  That kind of sensibility appeals to me, much like IH's does.  Each approaches what they do with a solidity that isn't totally absent from the rest of the design community, but it's certainly not common.  I'd like it even more it were common.  I guess that's a long term goal.

they have a bunch of nice pieces. too bad i cant afford most of the them lol

[hectic]

Great piece, thanks.

What size is it pls Lando? (On the slim chance I can source one..)

[LandoCal126 0]

Mine is a 42. PETEROCK has one as well.

[Heavy Duty]

Would really like to know if the story behind this SS collection is really true as it just seems a tad surreal…...then again truth is stranger than fiction.

[nameness]

hectic - Jared from MF said they're going to do them again this fall.  want to say the lining will be a bit different but otherwise the same.  i know i'll be snagging one.  i'm sure Lando & PeteRock can tell you, that is one hell of a jacket.  should last you a lifetime.

[hectic]

Thanks, nameness. I did email them and they did not mention this (but did confirm that the jacket was not currently available).

[nameness]

That's rad, Lando.  I like a lot of the MF printed graphics on vintage gear, it's just hard to shell out for some reason.  I did snag a sweatshirt a while back and cut off the sleeves…

[LandoCal126 0]

YOU WHAT?!?!?! Why not just get a cheap crewneck and cut that? If you want to save cash, that does not seem like the best way to go about it… IMHO

[nameness]

Not worried about saving cash as much as my own weird mental balance system of spending the money for a sweat vs. a tee because I wreck tees.  The sweatshirt was vintage and the cuffs were so short & tight they cut off circulation to my hands.  Cut 'em off to make a short sleeve sweat, beach style.  I know you've been to the store, they have a whole section of similar sweats that they've slashed up.

Mine:

Oh that looks great. For some odd reason I flashed on a cut off version as in no sleeves at all… My bad!

[Beatle]

That Tee is rad…..

[nameness]

No worries dude, I did say I cut the sleeves off.  Bad phrasing on my part.

Anyway, that is a dope shirt…  the MF shop sources some great gear.  Be interesting to see these 60s deadstock 5 pocket jeans that are coming.

Great 'T' Lando; I love the M.F. stuff shame they seem to cut it all so slim, i've got the 189 shirt unworn its just too tight all over even in XL 

[PETEROCK1]

thinking about that denim vest  :-\

thanks lando for the update!

[daveo]

I love that deck jacket, pissed I missed the one last year.

[hectic]

Deck jacket is in my sights…
