We recommend this usual protocol before wear: Cold soak for about 30-40mn with occasional hand agitation. Washing machine spin dry. CL's Advice: I opted for a 38 Medium in each version, for a snug yet comfortable fit. I am 5.7’’ approx. 150 Lbs. When comparing our chart measurements with those of a similar coat you own that fits you well, do consider the fluffy lining thickness. Please refer to sizing chart for approximate raw/soaked measurements. CARE This garment is bulky and weighs quite a bit when wet, so we do not recommend using a home washing machine for cleaning. Hang dry. Using a heat dryer is also not recommended and may result in excessive and irreversible shrinkage. STORY Design-wise, our MAVERICK jacket is inspired by 1960s-70s fashion ranch coats with textile fur pile linings, and other sherpa-style outdoor togs. The body pattern draws its inspiration from a 1970s Roebucks® western denim jacket from our archives. These vintage coats are not rare and hardly desirable for collectors, as they were always cut from cheap poly-cotton denim at the time. So we thought of combining the style with premium selvedge denim, spicing-up the original utilitarian design with a plethora of details á la MF® for good measure. For the occasion, we reached out to our friends at Toyo Enterprise to develop an original MF® 1950s-style snap brass button, a respectful reference to vintage Levi’s jackets rough-out jackets branded snaps. The large notch lapel flashing the pile lining gives the MAVERICK its 1970s ranch-wear vibe, and the arcuate top block allowed us to play with classic western yoke contrast.
