SIZING/FIT

The Mister Freedom Continental Sportcoat comes raw/unwashed, and will shrink to tagged size. Follow the usual recommended initial method before wearing: cold soak for 30mn, spin dry and line dry. Please refer to sizing chart to determine which size works for you.

CL's Advice: The Continental Sportcoat is quite broad-shouldered and is not designed to fit like a bespoke Savile Row coat, but rather like a casual unstructured blazer. I am wearing a Size 38 in both charcoal and slate grey Continental Sportcoat. This is my usual size in mfsc jackets, although I have done a full rinse cycle with the Sportcoat, and used a heat dryer for about five minutes.

CARE

Hand wash or machine wash on delicate, cold water, minimal eco-friendly detergent. Turn inside-out to avoid marbling of the fabric. Line dry.

This fabric will develop attractive patina overtime, according to the owners activities, frequency of wear and laundering choices.

NOTE: It is the nature of cotton-Linen blend textiles to wrinkle and stretch back and forth with each laundry/wear cycle. For example, freshly laundered linen garments fit tighter in the morning than at the end of the day. If you prefer a clean, pressed look following the initial soaking process, the jacket can be steamed or professionally pressed.

STORY

This classic and versatile unstructured blazer is a part of our Continental series, an unpretentious all-made-in-USA casual suiting concept. The pattern is deprived from a French 1950s cotton khaki twill work coat, pulled out of an old trunk belonging to a French postal worker.

We adapted the vintage design to make it a bit more glamorous, but not going full Thomas Crown either. We aimed for sporty playboy over 9-to-5 clerk. Yet, we wanted a casual sportswear feel.

The fit is quite relaxed, with darts to cinch the waist and a kind of drop-shoulder pattern for top volume.

This MF garment is designed and manufactured in California by Mister Freedom, in collaboration with Sugar Cane Co.
