\u003cli\u003eMade in California, USA.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSIZING\/FIT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe MF® TORPEDO does not require any type of pre-treatment or conditioning and is ready to wear as-is.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWe recommend referring to our sizing chart and comparing measurements with a similar style of jacket that fits you, according to your own style\/expectations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eI 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCARE\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEmbrace 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOccasional 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFor maintenance, we recommend Pecard Leather Dressing, following our usual method outlined here.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDo not use neatsfoot oil or leather conditioners specific to footwear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSTORY\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOur 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our SUBMARINER storyline and recent deep dive in the Silent Service.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFor those into historical references, Charles A.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLockwood, iconic figure in WW2 US Navy submarine history, and adored by both his men and superiors, had his first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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe full lining is a combination of NOS cotton plaid flannel (body) and NOS cotton woven stripe (arms.)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTo 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAll was left to do was wearing the jacket without watching the water boil.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eI embraced the inevitable stains\/nicks from daily wear, enjoyed the evo and “killer jacket” comments from random strangers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWear your MF® TORPEDO without moderation for a guaranteed attractive natural patina over time!\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe MF® TORPEDO Jacket in veg-tan natural cowhide leather is designed and\u003c\/li\u003e\n
