Amen brother!

@Bluegrass how do you rate the Mister Freedom Topsiders in MN?

I was considering getting a pair, and was wondering how durable they felt.

@Graeme Just a heads up, this site has size 30 and 32 for cheap.

Thanks, but they're the sugar cane fibre jeans, rather than the MN pair. I'm after the latter, and I believe Bluegrass has both.

[jhm2128]

Bingo, got ya. Good luck!

[Bluegrass]

@Graeme I am a big fan of the MN twill and the cut of the Topsider pants - that's what led me to the Oki version.  The fabric is lightweight but quite durable imo.  It's a cool color, and something different than the standard blue jeans.  If I didn't already have the map shirt in calvary twill I'd grab it in the MN as well. I think you would find it hard not to like this fabric.

[Graeme]

Thanks @Bluegrass. I'll have to get a pair.

Did your MNs stretch back out to their pre-soak size with wear?

[Arabit]

Anyone got fit pics of the Ranchero shirt? The indigo calico fabric is great but the collar makes me wonder how it will look when worn

I'd size these using the "rinsed" measurements on the MF site - they def. snug up quite a bit, then relax with a brief amount of wear - but they won't go all the way back to pre-soak sizing. The waist will stretch but they will lose 1-2" length in the inseam and all the other measures will snug up. To be honest, I was worried they might be too loose before I soaked them, then I was worried they might be too tight after I soaked them! I always get my usual IH tag size in MF and so far they have always worked out just right. The beauty of high quality STF goods is they will generally evolve to fit you perfectly.

Thanks again. I'm a few inches shorter than you, but have extremely long legs, so I'll be asking the guys at Mister Freedom to pick out the longest pair if I order! :o

I've posted on someone here in this thread I think but definitely on Superfuture… I'll look for it in a bit!

@arabit

Not that crazy looking IMO. I have a medium I'd sell if it would fit you.

[Arabit]

@Anesthetist Thanks for the collar pic. Sadly a medium won't fit me. I need an XL which I can get off the MF site

Thanks Ben I found your pics. They look great!

Couldn't take it and just took the plunge on the party jacket…....... Love everything about it, especially those patches.
Went with Medium, hopefully the fit will be as I expect it  - enough room to layer but not too much for just a T.

The wait begins.....

[eyeq8402]

awesome. great looking jacket. been thinking about grabbing one myself.

[davito]

Nice @zatenm you will Love it. Here is my small

[zatenm]

WOW Looks glorious and perfect fit on you @davito!
Thanks for those pics, I'm really looking forward to it now.
I'm assuming Small is your normal IH jacket size, correct?

[davito]

Thx man. I like my jackets fitted with room for a vest or a sweatshirt max. i am not a layering kinda guy using different layers like Shirts or jackets so yes would be a 36/small in IH jackets as I am in my IH shirts and i wear 38 in other japanese brands like real mccoys with a pit2pit of usually around 21" @zatemn
I tried a Medium in the Party jacket and it was too oversized on me for my taste because i don't like too much room overall and sleeves were way too long, the small gave me the right fit from the beginning. I also havent soaked my Party jacket so far will wear it for a while, shrinkage should be minimal with a soak and washing is probably not the best thing because of the patches

[Arabit]

I have the MF bug.
