The Mister Freedom SKIPPER Board Shorts are based on a few classic pairs of late 60s~70s trunks. We added a fancy wax pocket and a concealed rear pocket.

After scoring a nice assortment of royal blue/sienna/coral selvedge canvas fabrics we decided to print one of the leg panels with an original Polynesia-inspired motif, for a Skipper version. As with the MF Shop Tees, we are using water-based ink, so the graphic will gradually fade with wear and water sport activities.

Please note that, although adequate for swimming, these are vintage-style 100% cotton beach trunks, and will not dry as fast as modern polyester trunks or spandex speedos. We get it, but it worked for generations of swimmers, and sometimes its one for the money and two for the show.

The MF SKIPPER Board Shorts are designed and manufactured in California by Mister Freedom.

SIZING/FIT

The board shorts are only available raw (unwashed) and are cut to fit the tagged size after an initial cold rinse and line dry. The paracord/eyelet closure system allows for some slight adjustment to the waist for a tighter/looser fit (about inch play).
Please refer to sizing chart for cold soak/line dry measurements.

CL's Advice: I wear a size 30, same as the .

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 only.

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

Provide a flattering and comfortable fit around the body
