Hybrid baffle system combines synthetic and natural insulation benefits
The pattern of the MF ADVISOR Jacket was adapted from a , cut from a late 60s US Army ERDL poncho liner.
As always, we are not going for a replica, so the design of the MF ADVISOR is not about regulation field uniforms or authentic US Gov-issued period gear. Instead, we played around with the concept of a fictitious in-country tailor-made jacket that one could strut on R&R.

SIZING/FIT
The MF ADVISOR Jacket comes unwashed and is cut so that the measurements match the labeling AFTER an initial cold soak/line dry. We recommend this usual protocol before wear:
- Turn garment inside-out. Cold soak for about 30-40mn with occasional hand agitation.
- Washing machine spin dry.
- Line dry. (No heat dryer)
CL's Advice: I opted for a 38 (Medium) for a comfortable fit (5.7 / approx. 150 lbs).
Compare measurements with an unlined jacket of similar style you own and that fits you well to dial-in the size that will work best for you, according to your silhouette preference and layering habits.
CARE
Launder when needed.
We recommend turning the jacket inside-out to avoid potential marbling of the fabric.
Machine wash with cold water, gentle cycle, eco-friendly mild detergent and line dry.
STORY
As always, we are not going for a replica, so the design of the MF ADVISOR is not about regulation field uniforms or authentic US Gov-issued period gear. Instead, we played around with the concept of a fictitious in-country tailor-made jacket that one could strut on R&R.
The pattern of the MF ADVISOR Jacket was adapted from a , cut from a late 60s US Army ERDL poncho liner. We tweaked the pattern, details and fit to our liking, and opted for two distinct fabrics.
We added two concealed iPhone/sunglasses pockets on the zip placket, cut from a contrast signal yellow/emergency orange twill.
The MF ADVISOR Jacket is designed in California by Mister Freedom, and manufactured in Japan in collaboration with Sugar Cane Co.
