Really nice… Did you soak it or just start wearing it?
I bought it from Snowy and he had given it a cold soak.
-
a brilliant fit @Anesthetist,
lucky you! -
That jacket is so sick @Anesthetist.
-
I loved my MN Topsiders and I loved the Oki denim CPO - so why not not got for the Oki Topsiders?? These look short but I actually have them cuffed the width of the hem ~2". I kind of like them this way - show off your boots. These pants are "different with the wraparound legs, big low rear pockets - but I am really liking them.
I soaked these and they came out of the rinse with a really crispy effect. Stiff as a board. But they soften up very quickly. Very pleased so far.
-
Wow, these look much better than I expected them to. Really like the pockets and overall fit on you. How is the rise?
These, the denim Utes, or something like the Jack/Knife pair? Decisions…. -
Another question for the MF collectors here. Does anyone own the Loco jacket? Dunno why but it has had my eye for a long time, but the length keeps me away. If you have one, how is the fit?
-
@Bluegrass
i really like them,
great fit! -
Thx guys.
@Anesthetist I'd say these are a mid-rise - not real high like some of the MF stuff but def. not low where you feel like your ass is hanging out. These pants are really comfortable - the wrap leg construction is really different, feels kind of "old-timey" - in a good way - my wife said they looked like Amish pants :). And the Okinawa denim is such a great fabric - it actually feels heavier than 11 oz to me - but these are going to be go-to jeans for the spring/summer for sure.
I've also looked at the Loco jacket and was intrigued but it would definitely be too short for me with my long torso - but I think it's a neat jacket. I'm currently lusting for the Lot 64 Ranch Blouse and/or Gunslinger Jumper
I also just picked up the Shipyard Chinos in khaki and the NOS hickory stripe Sportsman shirt, so I'm done buying clothes for awhile. -
Quality over quantity any day right? At least that's what I tell myself….
Great scores @Bluegrass.
-
@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.
-
@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.
-
Thanks @Bluegrass. I'll have to get a pair.
Did your MNs stretch back out to their pre-soak size with wear?
