SIZING/FIT
The MF TOPSIDERS come raw/unwashed, and are cut so that the measurements roughly match the labeling AFTER an initial cold soak/line dry. We recommend the usual protocol before wearing:
- Cold soak in a tub for about 30-40mn, with occasional hand agitation.
- Line dry, no heat dryer.
At ~57 & 145 Lbs, I opted for a comfortable W30. I wear them slightly cinched in the back because of the generous waist. I went for sloppy rolls for now, and may hem them later.
To save on unnecessary frustration and size swap shipping fees, please reach out to [email protected] to tune-in sizing if unsure. Please do provide body type and measurements, silhouette expectation, and, if available, measurements of a similar garment you own that fits according to your style.
CARE
The MF Topsiders NOS Crosshatch Moss denim are low-maintenance.
Garment turned inside-out, machine wash when needed, cold/warm water, delicate cycle, eco-friendly detergent. Hang dry.
Using hot water or heat dryer may result in excessive and irreversible shrinkage.
STORY
fresh from our local California factory, the Mister Freedom are back!
The pattern discussed at length is an dating back to 2014 in MF chronology, but with design roots in WW2 US Navy denim dungarees. Classic generous cut, high-waisted, straight wrap leg, button fly, four patch pockets, cinch back.
We have released our TOPSIDERS in a few fabric options through the years, mostly all sold-out today, although some random pairs found in storage may pop up in the occasionally.
This FW2024 release features a woven goodie we scored from a local fabric jobber a while back: some New Old Stock yardage of premium crosshatch denim twill with a nice indigo moss blue color, wide loom, 11 Oz., a blend of 70% cotton and 30% linen of probable Italian mill origin. This fabric has an attractive and unusual greenish indigo warp, enhanced by a charcoal grey weft yarn. Although it has worked perfectly for our series because of its fine drape/color/texture, it also carries a vintage military-issued might-have-been fabric vibe, perfect for the TOPSIDERS. Workwear meets premium denim.
The MF TOPSIDERS are designed in California by Mister Freedom, and produced in the USA, in collaboration with Sugar Cane Co.
