  • Recommended protocol:

  • This jacket is considered true-to-size.
  • At 5’7 ~145 lbs., I opted for a SMALL, my usual current size in mfsc jackets.
  • The size that will work best for you depends on your body type and how you like your clothes to fit.
  • Measure a jacket of a similar style that you own and compare it to our size chart, reflecting rinsed measurements.
  • This is how we measure.
  • CARE
  • STORY
  • A wildcatter” is a prospector drilling for oil in unlikely places (= high risks but potential high reward.)
  • “Wildcat territory” refers to an area that attracts drilling mavericks, whether individuals or corporations.
  • Oil was never found in San Bernardino County (Mojave High Desert), but early 1900s rumors from the field about a potential “Oil Boom” have attracted wildcatters, see “Kramer has struck oil!”
  • Our “Wildcat” carries the vibe of 1930s garage/gas/service station type jackets.
  • This is also a long-reached reference to my Dad who worked in Algeria for the CPA (Compagnie des Pétroles d’Afrique, an oil-extracting venture in North Africa) in the late 1950s, as a drilling scout in the Sahara Desert.
  • He was then hired by Shell Oil in its Alger HQ, met my Mum who was a French Algeria-born Pieds-Noirs.
  • They lived in Algeria until 1962, when the country won its independence from metropolitan France after a fierce and controversial period.
