I stopped by the Mr. Freedom store yesterday to see what the Road Champ hype was all about...
While I was waiting for them to bring out a pair, I looked up and saw this:
It is what they refer to as a French blanket coat- because they are made from old French blankets. The prototype was done in a light gray which was lovely, but the production run was more of an off white. Currently they are sold out except for a size 38 (which almost fit perfectly) and 2 size 44s.
BUT HERE"S THE GOOD NEWS- This Fall, Mr Freedom will be doing this jacket in an Indigo dyed wool blanket.
It isn't going to have the stripes, but it will still have all the leather detailing...
It's pricey at $875, but I may be putting a hold on the Aeromarine or Aeronaught in the blue in exchange for the Navy blanket Mr Freedom.
The guy helping me said he's constantly getting compliments on his, and it's easy to believe as this is/will be a stunning coat.
-Oh, they also do a version in a tan Duckcloth, but it wasn't a stopper like the blanket one.
