SIZING/FIT

The Mister Freedom Trailblazer 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 shirt is a non tuck-in type, and is considered more like an over-shirt or shirt-jacket. I wear a comfortable Medium in the TRAILBLAZER, my usual size in mfsc shirts, with enough room to layer.

CARE

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

STORY

Well, our TRAILBLAZER is one of those hybrid species from Weirdsville, courtesy of the MF Design Department. The initial intention of our in-house Board of Experts was to release a winter version of the SECOYA Shirt. So much for that easy-breezy plan

If the rest of the specifics of the Secoya Shirt are still there double-shoulder yoke, selvedge gussets, chin strap, and combo of assorted colorful tin-pressed buttons the mfsc TRAILBLAZER is in a league of its own. With the four front pockets contrasting with the rounded shirttail panels typical of vintage tuck-in style shirting, the garment had morphed into an overshirt/jacket.

The TRAILBLAZER fabric is a weft-faced brushed sateen, a tightly woven twill with a characteristic soft brushed satin weave face and a plain weave reverse.

The MF TRAILBLAZER is designed in California by the Mister Freedom Board of Experts and manufactured in Japan by Sugar Cane Co.
