Torpedo Jacket Natural Sunshine

DESCRIPTION
  • SPECS
  • PATTERN:
  • Inspired by vintage 1930s-40s American sportswear leather coats, and other period outdoor jackets, revisited by the Mister Freedom®  Design Department.
  • Vegetable-tanned full grain cowhide leather, natural color, milled and supple, about 3-4 Oz weight.
  • Exclusively developed for MF®.
  • NOTE: We use genuine full grain leather, not the cheap top-grain type corrected/buffed/sanded to level surface inconsistencies.
  • No two hides are alike and each panel may feature variations in texture along with natural imperfections.
  • LINING:
  • Full lining, combination of NOS cotton plaid flannel (body) and NOS cotton woven stripe (arms)
  • DETAILS:
  • Vintage sportcoat hip length.
  • High five-button front closure style.
  • Classic keyhole button-front closure.
  • Corozo wood buttons with bone button backing.
  • Slim notched lapel with “stand collar” option.
  • “Western” arcuate front yokes.
  • Split front panel construction.
  • Double hip buttoned flap pockets.
  • 30s style split-back single expansion gusset (action-back).
  • Half-belt back.
  • Gusseted cuffs, buttoned cinch.
  • Fully lined, NOS cotton fabric.
  • Lining chest pocket.
  • Mister Freedom® ‘The Sportsman’ woven neck label.
  • Sturdy poly-cotton thread stitching.
  • Made in California, USA.
  • SIZING/FIT
  • The MF® TORPEDO does not require any type of pre-treatment or conditioning and is ready to wear as-is.
  • We recommend referring to our sizing chart and comparing measurements with a similar style of jacket that fits you, according to your own style/expectations.
  • I tend to fluctuate between size 36 and 38 in MF® leather/woven jackets and — at 5’7 ~145 lbs — opted for a comfortable size 38 in the TORPEDO, with enough room to layer during winter.
  • CARE
  • Embrace the fact that the natural veg-tan leather is prone to get tanned/stained/nicked/scratched, unavoidably showing signs of aging as your jacket is doing what it was designed to be doing: being worn without moderation, and passed-on to future generations.
  • Occasional conditioning when needed (according to actual frequency of wear and activities) will contribute to an attractive warm tone natural patina, and a healthy-looking leather.
  • For maintenance, we recommend Pecard Leather Dressing, following our usual method outlined here.
  • Do not use neatsfoot oil or leather conditioners specific to footwear.
  • STORY
  • Our first batch of TORPEDO was initially released in black tea-core veg-tan cowhide leather, for vintage references loosely inspired by WW2 U-Boat Kriegsmarine reefer-style leather jackets, matching our SUBMARINER storyline and recent deep dive in the Silent Service.
  • For those into historical references, Charles A.
  • Lockwood, iconic figure in WW2 US Navy submarine history, and adored by both his men and superiors, had his first command in 1919 on an ex-German sub U-97, in order to evaluate enemy U-Boats performances.
  • This follow-up release of our TORPEDO pattern features our classic proprietary veg-tan cowhide in natural color, 3-4 Oz weight, same grade/color/specs as the “blank canvas” of our original Campus Jacket and Ranch Blouse Randall.
  • The full lining is a combination of NOS cotton plaid flannel (body) and NOS cotton woven stripe (arms.)
  • To give it a head start, I set-up my natural TORPEDO outside on a bust form for about 2 weeks, let the California sun pull some tanning magic, and wrapped-up the process by conditioning the leather with Pecard, following the usual routine outlined throughout this blog, here and there.
  • All was left to do was wearing the jacket without watching the water boil.
  • I embraced the inevitable stains/nicks from daily wear, enjoyed the evo and “killer jacket” comments from random strangers.
  • Wear your MF® TORPEDO without moderation for a guaranteed attractive natural patina over time!
  • The MF® TORPEDO Jacket in veg-tan natural cowhide leather is designed and
  • made in California, USA, by Mister Freedom®.
