STORY

The Mister Freedom Upa Upa shirt, a pattern inspired by 1960s-70s lounge attire with a touch of dune buggy escapade.

This shirt features five pockets with double button closure flaps, in a (surf) safari jacket detail with a definite sixties accent. The most striking part of our Upa Upa shirt however is the unconventional use of the printed fabric. A popular island fashion in the mid 1960s, reverse-print fabrics gradually became the cloth of choice for both Kamaina and long-established haole folks.

The base fabric we chose for our Upa Upa Shirt is a handsome slubby bark cloth-type woven textile reminiscent in texture of those vintage kitschy 1960s/70s cotton Hawaiian shirts.

This MF garment is designed in California by Mister Freedom and manufactured in Japan by Sugar Cane Co.
