SIZING/FIT
The Mister Freedom Continental Shirt 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: If you are a Medium in mfsc shirts/jackets, you are a Medium in the Continental. Because of the specific cut, the darting and requirements of this blazer-like pattern, this shirt/jacket will not fit every frame. For instance, the arm construction, although comfortable, disqualifies this jacket as beach-volley attire. There are no expansion pleats.
CARE
Machine wash on delicate, cold water, minimal eco-friendly detergent. Turn inside-out. Line dry only.
This fabric will develop attractive patina overtime, according to the owners activities, frequency of wear and laundering choices.
STORY
The Mister Freedom Continental shirt/jacket only features four pockets and might not qualify as jungle-ready, but a glance at its intricate inside construction makes it look quasi tailor-made.
Style-wise this jacket is a combination of several influences: fancy 1950s-70s unlined tropical gear, short sleeve blazers, safari-type pocketing, elegant uniform silhouettes, Old World tailoring, and the mighty Sun Zhongshan suit.
For the detail-oriented who opens a garment to check its structure, the combination of bias tape piping and fabric selvedge is quite pleasant to the eye, if we may say so ourselves.
This MF garment is designed in California by Mister Freedom and manufactured in Japan by Sugar Cane Co.
