CL's Advice: I am usually a 38 in mfsc jackets and I am a 38 in the Ranch Blouse, with room for a lightweight shirt underneath. Please refer to sizing chart to determine which size works for you. CARE We recommend you leave your Ranch Blouse as-is and just wear it. Treat with care when necessary. Embrace the fact that the “Tea-Core” leather is prone to get nicked and scratched, revealing the natural color under-layer, unavoidably showing signs of wear. Occasional conditioning when needed (according to actual frequency of wear) will contribute to an attractive warm tone natural patina, and a healthy-looking leather. We recommend Pecard Leather Dressing. Do NOT soak the leather Ranch Blouse. STORY The Mister Freedom® RANCH BLOUSE pattern is our original take on classic denim jacket styles from the Golden Age of American workwear, 1930s to 1950s. “Tea-core” leather refers to an old-school tannery dyeing method, distinct from the more common dip-dyed method. “Tea-core” dyeing results in the skin side color being different from the flesh side color. If the fast-aging quality of “tea-core” leather is considered a defect by some, it contributes to a rewarding and desirable patina for others. As the jacket gets some mileage and naturally ages, normal abrasion of the black topcoat from wear will reveal the natural ‘pink’ underside, in turn evolving into a rich golden tone. With regular wear, with the expected nicks, scratches, water spills, natural sun-exposure and occasional conditioning with products such as Pecard Leather Dressing, the patina of your well-worn MF® Ranch Blouse jacket should be nothing short of “spectacular”. DISCLAIMER: Your RINGO Jacket may feature the authentic ranch “branding iron” (scar) mark typical of livestock raised outdoors. Each hide we select features its own single original ranch branding, more or less visible/well-defined. When both the yield of a hide and the ranch brand position permit it, our factory cutters have been instructed to include the original mark usually on one of the shoulder yoke panels. Not all of our leather jackets feature a branding iron mark, but those that do are much sought-after by our customers for their uniqueness. The MF® Ranch Blouse in black veg-tan ’Tea-core” cowhide leather is designed and made in California by Mister Freedom®.
