Snowy, glad you found the place. Tiny shop jam packed with good gear.

Buckaroos x Ranch Blouse lot 64US.

Ane, here's some details of the Skipper Jacket you requested a few weeks ago. As always, click for closer view.

tag is stitched with a metalic-y red thread, used to seeing this stamped

Under the phone pocket (top left pocket) this horsehide(?) with contrast green stitching makes sure the clasp/button doesn't tear the jacket.

more hh and contrast green stitching, this time for the hoodie rip-cord. The leather on the hoodie itself is entirely different feel, thickness, and color.

All zippers are Crown Aluminum zippers, great feel with nice hh leather tabs

As usual with MF pieces, the closer you look, the more thoughtful and well executed details pop out. I like this jacket, will likely wax it to make it a bit more wind resistant/hardened for winter.

Bonus/outtake the Haversack's starting to show it's colors.

the Skipper Jacket looks really amazing..nice jacket snowy!

[Anesthetist]

Snowy, that jacket is a real winner and is a cool technical twist on what we associate MF with. Really cool piece!

+1. Great jacket. Great colors too. Snowy, glad you found Junky. Cool little shop. (sorry, I can't remember if I responded to your post about Junky, or even where you posted it…..)

[Snowy]

@Chiba J. yes, you did respond, twice is better than none tho, especially considering I wouldn't have gone otherwise! :).

I waxed my Skipper jacket over the past week, it's ready for winter now. The wax has made it heavier/warmer which is what I was hoping for, as well as wind and water proof, so now a perfect weight for Sydney.

The colour change makes it look like I've owned it for 4 or so years, which I like too. Original green can be seen in second photo. Waxing is more work than I thought. Result is worth it tho, for sure!

The poplin they use on those seems to me to basically be a recreation of Ventile, so that thing is going to be pretty hardy in rain and wind, I'd imagine.

^ Fantastic jacket!

Turned out great Snowy!  Amazing looking jacket

[seanocono]

Nice look, love that shirt!

@mclaincausey:

Thanks nerkg!

Finn, I have good news and bad news and they're the same. These fit perfectly

These may never leave my feet. OG RCs with Takeshi magic leather soles.

Whoah no shit? Small world! I think there's someone else from MN on here too

[Snowy]

After 2.5 months of waiting for my Road Champs, they turned up @ my desk today. What a surprise that was! Takeshi-san has done a lovely job on these, and I'm officially ready for winter now.

[Snowy]

and I'll post more/better photos at some point later. It's just passed midnight and needed to share the good news

[EastWest]

Good call Snowy, what a finish!

[superfuzz]

Wow rad. I'm going to do soemthing similar once I wear out my soles. Let us know how they feel once your worn them around Snowy.
