SIZING/FIT

The Mister Freedom TAP Lezard Jacket 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: This jacket is true to size, and a Medium (38) fits like a snug Medium by mfsc standards. I wear a Medium with enough room for a sweatshirt or underneath. This is a rather fitted jacket, depending of course on your build, proportions and choice of size.

CARE

We recommend professional cleaning in your local eco-friendly facility or hand wash in cold water with minimal eco-friendly detergent. Turn inside-out to avoid marbling of the denim fabric and un-zip before washing. Line dry only.

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

Note: The double indigo twill will naturally bleed, and minimal color transfer to light color garments or furniture is to be expected. Indigo transfer will wash-off overtime.

DETAILS

This jacket is an original garment that blends vintage aesthetics and references to link history with contemporary wearables. The usual MF spin was put on a 1950s French Army Type 1 veste matelasse, an NVA black-dyed vest and vintage sportswear field gear.

The result is a hybrid jacket featuring double indigo twill on one side, and our version of the traditional camouflage lzard. This jacket is fully reversible, featuring a TYE Tokyo metal zipper with double-sided pull, mil-specs wool knit cuffs and collar band and side expansion wool knit gussets.

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