SIZING/FIT

The SC66 Ranch Blouse comes UN-WASHED and is cut so that the measurements match the labeling AFTER an initial cold soak/line dry.
We recommend the usual protocol before wearing:

• Cold soak for about 30-40mn, with occasional hand agitation.
• Spin dry and line dry.
• Wear briefly before fully-dry to set creases, then hang until fully dry.

CL's Advice: I wear my usual Ranch Blouse size in this SC66 edition, a comfortable cold-soaked 38. I am 57 and approx. 150 Lbs.

Please refer to sizing chart for approximate raw/soaked measurements.
Soaked = 30mn cold soak, spin dry and line dry (ie. minimal shrinkage).

CARE

Wash when necessary. We recommend turning garment inside-out to avoid potential marbling of the denim fabric. Wash separately from light-colored garments.
Machine wash with cold water, gentle cycle, eco-friendly mild detergent and line dry.

As with all indigo-dyed denim, temporary croaking (color bleeding) is to be expected, as the indigo color could potentially rub on light color garments and furniture. Indigo rubs can easily be spot cleaned using a small amount of laundry detergent on a clean damp cloth.

STORY

The Mister Freedom RANCH BLOUSE pattern is our original take on classic denim jacket styles from the Golden Age of American workwear, 1930s to 1950s.

The SC66 (Sugar Cane 1966) 13 Oz. indigo denim twill is an old favorite of ours, making its initial mfsc appearance on our first ever , introduced sometime in 2013. My worn and later pair is displayed, as a reference to the fading potential of that specific denim fabric.

The Ranch Blouse has a 1930s ~ 1940s flare with the traditional bell and whistle ie. the pleated front and the buckle back. We went for a "vintage" boxy fit while keeping the silhouette trim.

The SC66 Ranch Blouse is designed in California by Mister Freedom, and manufactured in USA in collaboration with Sugar Cane Co., from denim fabric milled in Japan.
