STORY
The SECOYA pattern combines vintage garments, a rare 1930s pull-over chin-strap work chambray with no label, and a work chambray with elaborate Double-Panel construction.
The defunct STURDY OAK label, the workwear division of Sears, Roebuck & Co, produced its famous Double-Back / Double-Shoulder Yoke / Double-Underarm pattern, often complimented with Ventilation Eyelets. Other bygone mail-order catalog companies such as , or JCPenney also offered their versions in the 1940s-50s, all full open button-front shirts. We thought of combining the fancy Double-Panel pattern with a pull-over type shirt, and the MF SECOYA was born.
For this third model of our SECOYA, we pulled the fabric inspiration off a vintage 1950s McGregor wool shirt from our archives. If we wanted to closely replicate the unusual turquoise & red yarns combo of the original plaid pattern, we decided to replace the wool yarns by 100% cotton yarns. Our friends at Toyo Enterprises painstakingly milled this outstanding selvedge heavy flannel woven plaid for us in Japan. The was born.
The SECOYA Double-Panel Ventilated Work Shirt is designed in California by Mister Freedom and manufactured in Japan by Sugar Cane Co.
