That's awesome man. Very happy to hear that. You've got a lot of wearing to do to catch me!

I'll be wearing the ranch hand shirt tomorrow Chiba and will post pics on this post; it's a great fit. But I feel compelled to sing its praises now. Love the turquoise color way and the airy weave of the flannel… and the details: The poplin gussets and reinforcement on the placket and chest pocket backing and collar, there's really intricate and fine shearing all the way around the cuffs, a nice curved back yoke, unique pockets, awesome buttons and snaps, very neatly felled seams... The more of Christophe's work I see the more I admire him.

[Chiba J.]

Awesome! Glad you're happy with it. Great shirt, but a bit large on me…..

Well said MCC.

^agree. MF certainly creeped up on me. IronHeart it was obvious from the first touch how amazing and I knew I was going to keep coming back. MF was more subtle. Interesting distinctions

[davito]

I started being interested in MF over five years now and began to collect pieces and infos afterwards, certainly not for everybody and you'll grow into it and you'll be ready for it when time has come

[Chiba J.]

What do you guys have your eye on this season?

[davito]

Crew pants looking interesting. Like the back to Naval theme in its own way very much

The bags from MF are also underestimated imo. I am very happy i got my rambler pack from several seasons back and will never let that go. Of course diff style but i hear lots of people being sad they missed these.

Tripper bag looks good and functional

I have many jackets so wont look at these although also some very interesting pieces around. Well but i think the crew pants in linen will make it for me depending other projects

[Chiba J.]

In addition to Ranch Blouse, I am definitely picking up the Speedway pique pants.

[davito]

Those are sweet i missed these in the og American Sportswear NOS run wow great they are back in sportsman. Hmm. Tempting…,, :). Yes def get em man these will suit you great

[grandmasterben]

Agreed on the pique pants…seems like they'd be great for summer

Perfect fit..

[Snowy]

^yup, from head to toe.

[mclaincausey]

Thanks gents–I like having a shirt with a different kind of fit in my wardrobe.

[davito]

Good fit and shirt mclaincausey

[summ3rhays]

Nice.  Man does that shirt have great colors!

[Chiba J.]

Looks great man. What's your height and weight? I wasn't able to wear that shirt untucked, but it looks great that way on you.

[mclaincausey]

Thanks folks. I'm 5'9" and 165ish. It's definitely a longer body than I'm used to but I'm enjoying it

The crew pants are very nice. I like both the linen and the brown twill. Interesting to compare the MF Baker pants:

With the baker pants from FW's fall collection.

Both are takes on a "civilianized-military" theme and both have the adjuster snaps up around the waist.

You're right, Davito, that tripper bag does look nice. But I am more or less against any kind of "tote bag". Just can't get used to it…..

I had a chance to try on the pique pants in black a while back. They are very very nice. But much more substantial than the usual pique, for example LVC. That's great, but it may make them not quite as well suited to our very hot and humid summers over here.
