The MF® TORPEDO does not require any type of pre-treatment or conditioning and is ready to wear as-is.
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.
I 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.
Please refer to product page measurements (click on “Size Chart”), and reach out to sales@misterfreedom.com for sizing advice if needed.

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.

Loosely inspired by WW2 U-Boat Kriegsmarine reefer-style leather jackets, and based on an American vintage 1930s-40s civilian sportswear leather jacket.
