Hi Ben wonderful catch, congrats again. I do not measure actually but based on MF chart expect half an inch in chest and shoulders and some more in sleeves and back. Wear as long as possible and afterwards give a cold soak, line dry, no agitation. Enjoy man

[grandmasterben]

Thanks David. Crap fit pic but better than nothing. Should look better after a soak

I was afraid the color might be too vibrant but in real life it's more of a muted jade green, ruby red, and off white. Perfect color scheme.


I'm tempted to pick up the brown one too….

Congrats Ben! Wearing mine right now. Love this shirt. Is yours the non-wash version? Purchased from Japan? I'm only aware of three retailers in Japan carrying non-wash: Sturdy, Junky, and Pants Shop Avenue. One of those?

[grandmasterben]

I think they're all non-wash right? But yeah bought from Japan; "Porkys" off rakuten. Seems more like a strip club than an mf dealer to me though haha!  So stoked on this, I love the roughness compared to my other flannels.

[Chiba J.]

Just saw your new post Ben. Great fit! Making me think I could have gone medium…...

I'm also tempted to pick up the "sienna" one. Although the turquoise is a really stunning color scheme, I wouldn't be surprised if the sienna would work better color wise for pale guys like me......

[Chiba J.]

Not sure about the one-wash vs. non-wash. Maybe Davito knows?

The MFSC number for this product is ＳＣ２５９５４. But Junky and Sturdy list it as ＳＣ２５９５４Ｎ ("n" for non-wash).

But the MF site says that "Both fabric options come raw/unwashed".

[grandmasterben]

That is strange; agreed, I think the sienna one may look better on me as I'm pretty pale too.  But after looking at both shirts I just couldn't not get the green one.  The way it looks against the off-white snaps is just fantastic.  NO regrets

[Omega Man]

If I recall, these are meant to be worn tucked in.  Looking good nonetheless.  Let's  see the sienna one.

@grandmasterben:

Just got it, the character in the weave is so great! I'll update with some fit pics later. Davito-how much did yours shrink after a soak? I really hope this doesn't end up too small…

Beautiful shirt.
The A on the tag behind the garment number indicates that it's a one-wash.
So you don't need to worry about shrinkage.

[grandmasterben]

Thanks! And awesome, I was afraid it might end up too small. It's pretty perfect now. I think the coolest thing about this flannel isn't that it's super heavy or thick like ih stuff, it's more….unique.

[davito]

nicely done Ben

Great look, wish I could wear the MF stuff, but I'm the wrong shape 

[grandmasterben]

MF stuff does seem to run a bit fitted…and I think I know what my birthday present is going to be.

Thx a lot Simon maybe there is something for u up in the next collection, that would be great

Ben i would not necessarly describe the stuff overall as fitted, it depends more on how the fabrics from each of the collections behave and how u size individually.

Hei nice choice for your bday next year, already in love with mf shirts, are you

Thought I share my current collection with u guys

….edit: sorry something with the upload went wrong...

[Snowy]

davito, great look again/as always! Your looks/style are an inspiration.

[grandmasterben]

I am in love with my only mf shirt so far… And agreed with snowy. And wow! That's quite the collection. I think my favorite inspiration of MF so far has been "Men of the Frontier."  What do you guys think?

[Chiba J.]

Davito, those britches look great. You've convinced me I need to hunt them down, at least to check them out!

Fantastic MF collection.

[davito]

Snowy, Ben, Chiba thx very much. Ben i think that Men of frontiers, esp fall/winter was christophe's best so far (check out the fabrics and his descriptions) but do not forget the older Naval and Rider as well as les apaches themes too. They are really great and i hope to get my hands on some gems of those in future as well.

Yeah Chiba fully recommended, went tts, mine are not yet soaked/washed. Very comfy and warm. Highlight is HBT fabric and selvedge outer leg seam

[grandmasterben]

Just ordered something from John, he's a super nice and funny guy. Pretty excited, ill update when I get it
