Mister Freedom® x Sugar Cane mfsc SS2021 FROGSVILLE line-up

 

 

 

Mister Freedom® x Sugar Cane SS2021 SPORTSMAN Catalog

 

Dear Friends,
Hope this finds you well, healthy, and in high spirits!

Keeping it light, here is a preview of the SS2021 Mister Freedom® x Sugar Cane (mfsc) collaboration, for your consideration.
Our seasonal output consists of two groupings.

The main theme is called “FROGSVILLE”.
Not a reference to my city of birth but rather a stylistic incursion into the world of vintage UDT (Underwater Demolition Team), Frogmen and US Navy SEALs, throwing eclectic 1940s-1970s references in the MF® blender. This is us taking many liberties on period US military garb and local-made garments, with an emphasis on active, practical, and streamlined gear.
The subtle message is not about glamorizing wars, but rather about encouraging safe and healthy outdoor activities, as an alternative to video game addiction and doomscrolling.

The FROGSVILLE collection will be manufactured in Japan (with the exception of the tees, all made and printed in USA.)
The SS2021 line-up will include:

1) ADVISOR Jacket 🇯🇵:
* Buzz Rickson’s tiger stripe
* Selvedge 2×1 “Army” denim
2) SCUBA Trunks 🇯🇵:

The next pile o’ rags consists of classic additions to our made-in-USA SPORTSMAN catalog (with the exception of the Ranch Kerchiefs, produced in Japan.)
The “Paniolo” reference is about the unlikely combo of Hawaiian culture and cowboys, historically documented in this book for those interested.

As always, besides the classic vintage style references, the common thread in all these original garments is the Mister Freedom® on-going commitment to ethical manufacturing, original vintage-inspired designs, and resistance to fast fashion.

Drop dates for this latest Mister Freedom® x Sugar Cane SS2021 mfsc line-up will start in the coming months. We are expecting deliveries between February and April 2021, as Japan and USA factories gradually complete production. Feel free to contact sales@misterfreedom.com with questions you may have, although full specs will only be available at the time each garment is released and documented on this blog.

Lastly, I know that you, as a consumer, have many options in selecting menswear apparel to match your aesthetics, ethics, and budget. I am therefore particularly grateful and indebted to all our supportive patrons, who have yet-again made another season of mfsc possible.
Thank you for supporting creativity, for keeping small businesses in business, and for making us look good.
Stay safe, stay sane, and stay cool my friends.

Love from Sunny California,

cl
