SIZING/FIT
The MF® Campus Jacket “STUD” edition does not require any type of pre-treatment or conditioning and is ready to wear as-is.
This garment is cut quite slim and we recommend referring to our sizing chart and comparing measurements with a similar style of jacket that fits you according to your own style/expectations.
The CAMPUS STUD features a classic old-school type cut with a shorter period silhouette that sits higher than most contemporary jackets, designed to compliment higher rise vintage-style trousers and jeans.
I consistently wear a size 38 in the Campus Jacket and — at 5’7 ~145 lbs lately — also opted for a size 38 in the STUD edition, with enough room for a thick corduroy shirt.
Please refer to product page measurements (click on “Size Chart”), and reach out to [email protected] for sizing advice if needed.
CARE
Embrace the fact that the natural or “Tea-Core” leather is prone to get nicked and scratched, revealing the under-layer color, unavoidably showing signs of wear. Occasional 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.
For maintenance, we recommend Pecard Leather Dressing, following this method.
Do not use neatsfoot oil or leather conditioners specific to footwear.
Note: Due to the unlined nature of the CAMPUS STUD, some shedding of the leather ‘flesh’ side may occur temporarily and leave (brush-able) flecks visible on dark shirts. This light shedding will eventually subside with normal wear.
