STORY
Here is our iteration of the classic Tricot Marin featuring an 18 striped chest band. A reference to authentic French Marine Nationale jerseys.
We are using a col bateau (boat neck), a collar pattern specified in the original French regulation code of 1858, insisting with our manufacturer for the curve of the collar stitching, a technical challenge for the skilled machine operator.
Our 1/4 sleeves, shorter than the government issued shirts are a nod to the common practice of chopping up the sleeves of your jersey for comfort in tropical deployments.
Today, the famous stripes are mostly associated with France, summertime, fun-in-the-sun, sea-side resorts, yacht clubs, freshwater sailing, fishing, bouillabaisse, beach umbrellas and fierce menswear fashion courtesy of Mister Freedom.
This MF garment is designed and manufactured in California by Mister Freedom, in collaboration with Sugar Cane Co.
