SIZING/FIT
The Mister Freedom Gabier Jacket 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: As often with mfsc jackets, I am in-between two sizes with the Gabier and opted for a Size 38 in Flamer. The canvas fabric will not stretch or give so I have to go for a 38.
CARE
Hand wash or 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 MF Gabier Jacket is by no mean an attempt at a sea-worthy garment by nautical pro-gear standards. It merely carries a bit of salty air nostalgia.
The original idea for this jacket came from bright-colored vintage sails, with colors spliced together for easy ID at sea, and probably to entertain seagulls.
The fiery "Flamer option, a combination of three cotton canvas, milled and dyed to our specs in Japan, is a nod to a specific color combo sail pattern introduced by boat-builder Hobie Cat in 1975.
This MF garment is designed in California by Mister Freedom and manufactured in Japan by Sugar Cane Co.
