Mister Freedom® x Sugar Cane Co mfsc FW2023 Preview, PART 2:

Welcome back, friends, and thank you for making it this far!

Next up is our FW2023 Sportsman line up, all produced in USA.

Besides the usual classic vintage-inspired workwear and rugged Americana additions, the design twist on the more dressy pieces this season is a reference to French “Nouvelle Vague” cinema and period 1960s European continental fashion, worked into contemporary wearables. Dig yourself the 1960 French version of the 1958 Coasters’ “Three Cool Cats” here, if you’re in a dancing mood.

Note that, although they are produced in Japan, we are including in this grouping our latest Dude Ranchers.

The FW2023 Sportsman line up consists of:
1) CAMPUS BLOUSE (aka Campus jacket), Awa-Ai fiber denim:
Our classic 1930s style leather jacket pattern translated into a woven fabric garment, a follow-up to the popular “Midnight” denim Campus jacket.
Fabric: Sugar Cane Co original Awa-Ai fiber denim, 13 Oz., 70% cotton x 30% recycled sugarcane fibers, white w/ green line selvedge ID. “Awa” is the old name of one of the States in the Shikoku Island of Japan, famous in the old days for its natural indigo (“Ai”). Denim woven on shuttle looms exclusively for SC, very neppy and textured, beautiful dark indigo color.

* Rounded collar cut from contrast camel brown 14 Oz wide-wale corduroy, a nod to vintage Lee® Storm Riders denim jackets.

2) CALIFORNIAN Lot.64, Awa-Ai fiber denim:
Our popular old school five-pocket silhouette.
Fabric: Sugar Cane Co original Awa-Ai fiber denim, 13 Oz., 70% cotton x 30% recycled sugarcane fibers, white w/ green line selvedge ID.

3) DUDE RANCHER Shirt, cotton sateen:
Our classic Western style shirt, in a new fancy edition, á la vintage 1950s Lee® Westerner shirts.
Fabric: 100% cotton sateen, 7 Oz.
Color options:
a) Ivory
b) Black
c) Sandstone (khaki)

4) CALIFORNIAN Lot.64, “Frontier” Duck:
Our popular old school five-pocket jeans silhouette, and a nod to 1960s brown duck Lee® Riders.
Fabric: Duck canvas, dark navy blue, 100% cotton, 12 oz., milled in USA.

5) FRONTIER Chinos, NOS 2×1 denim:
Limited 2nd run of the 2019 Sportsman Chinos “Frontier” edition, with updated stripe pocketing.
Fabric: 2×1 indigo denim twill, 10.5 Oz., dark indigo warp x grey weft, 100% cotton with a subtle waxy finish. Milled by Kurabo (JAPAN)

6) ARISTOCRAT Shirt, double indigo twill:
Our original dress shirt pattern, elegant yet casual.
Fabric: 100% cotton double indigo twill, NOS Kuroki, 7 oz., solid white selvedge ID, milled in Japan.

7) NOUVELLE VAGUE Slacks, “Player” denim:
Inspired by European casual 1950s-60s fashion, with period French cinema references. Merging slacks and denim jeans. Frogmouth front pockets and snap button waistband.
Fabric: NOS 10.5 Oz. crosshatch “Player” denim twill, light indigo moss blue-green color, slubby weave of cotton-linen blend (linen or similar natural vegetal fiber), with a 1960’s ‘sharkskin’-type sheen, milled in EU.
Fabric previously featured on our Continental “Player” three-piece suit.

8) CONTINENTAL Sportcoat, “Player” denim:
Our staple unstructured sportcoat pattern, a versatile jacket inspired by French 1950s utilitarian work uniforms and period casual fashion.
Introduced in 2016, we are running a limited restock to match the 2023 Nouvelle Vague Slacks, adding an easy-to-wear two-piece suit option, perfect traveling companion for your next trip to the French Riviera.
Fabric: NOS 10.5 Oz. crosshatch “Player” denim twill.

That’s a wrap!

Our original FW2023 “SURVIVAL SCHOOL” mfsc collection, CALI-JAN, and SPORTSMAN line ups are designed in California by Mister Freedom® and exclusively manufactured in Japan and USA in collaboration with Sugar Cane Co, in limited quantities.
Please note that the FW2023 lookbook/preview features show samples, not necessarily reflecting quality/fit/details/labeling of the upcoming production.

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 designs, and resistance to fast fashion, with styles that will easily incorporate into one’s existing classic wardrobe.

Thank you very much for your renewed support.

Love from Sunny California,

c & Joe

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 🇯🇵:
* Buzz Rickson’s tiger stripe
* Selvedge 2×1 “Army” denim
3) “Stanley” DIVE Shirt, stenciled 🇺🇸:
* Gold body, hand-stenciled
* Royal blue body, hand-stenciled
4) “Stanley” FROGSVILLE two-pack box 🇺🇸:
Gold and royal blue combo, solid.
5) “Stanley” 7161 HULL 🇺🇸:
Silkscreened ship grey body
6) FROGMAN Jacket 🇯🇵:
Navy blue HBT
7) SWABBIES Cut-Offs 🇯🇵:
Navy blue HBT
8) SNIPES Shirt 🇯🇵:
OD cotton poplin
9) RAIDERS Fatigues 🇯🇵:
* OD/khaki combo HBT
* Selvedge 2×1 “Army” denim

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.

The SS2021 SPORTSMAN line-up will include:

1) RANCH BLOUSE and CALIFORNIAN Blue Jeans LOT.674 🇺🇸:
Double indigo denim, selvedge 12.4 Oz.
2) RANCH KERCHIEF 🇯🇵:
* Royal blue
* Turquoise
3) CALIFORNIAN Blue Jeans LOT.64 “PANIOLO” 🇺🇸:
SC401 “Hawaii” selvedge denim, 14 Oz., “Palaka” cloth pocketing
4) SPORTSMAN Shirt 🇺🇸:
NOS “island plaid”
5) CALIFORNIAN Blue Jeans LOT.674 🇺🇸:
Gold selvedge pique.
6) P.T. (Physical Training) Henley 🇺🇸:
White tubular “skivvy” jersey, olive green accents
7) CONTINENTAL BERMUDAS “PANIOLO” 🇺🇸:
“Palaka” cloth indigo plaid.
8) CONTINENTAL Sportcoat and SPORTMAN Chinos 🇺🇸:
NOS slate grey denim twill, 60% cotton/40% linen, 8 Oz.

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,

🌞✌🏼👴🏼🌴

Dear Friends,

Hope everyone is faring well under the circumstances, staying healthy, sane and positive. I won’t dwell on current events as your news sources are probably handling that daily, just hoping you are finding ways to navigate through these uncharted waters well, and safely.

We’ve kept on truckin’! Here are the fruits of our Mister Freedom® x Sugar Cane (mfsc) collaboration this Fall 2020. The line-up this season consists of the following groupings, produced in Japan and USA (regrouped in the above photos by “stories” rather than Country of Origin, with some style crossovers.)

“TRUCKSTOP” is a new capsule, drawing inspiration from the colorful world of the American independent trucker, with Mid-West style influences spanning 1950s to 1970s. Think Smokey & The Bandits, Convoy, Citizens Band Radio (CB), vintage Overdrive magazines, River Rat and the 1973 US trucker strike…

a) PRIVATEER Roll-Neck:
* Cotton rib, indigo-dyed.
* Cotton rib, natural.
b) MF37 SNIPES Shirt:
Blue chambray, BR selvedge 5 Oz.

* Royal blue body / white sleeves.
h) TOPSIDERS:
New Old Stock (NOS) 100% cotton herringbone twill, 8.5 Oz., brown (gunpowder tea color).

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

Drop dates for this latest Mister Freedom® x Sugar Cane SS2020 mfsc line-up are in the coming months. We are expecting deliveries between August and September 2020, as Japan and USA factories gradually complete production.

MISTER FREEDOM® x SUGAR CANE Co mfsc SS2020 collection preview.

Our SS2020 mfsc line-up consists of several groupings of interconnected capsule collections, produced in Japan and USA. That up-coming season features “WATERFRONT SURPLUS”, “DUDE RANCH”, and a follow-up to our 1960’s McQueen-inspired concept called “YUCATÁN”, including our summer shirt collaboration with Sun Surf®.
We are introducing new fabrics (like the smashing Ice Blue denim!) in classic mfsc patterns, and familiar fabrics in new patterns. Some of these SS2020 garments fall under the SPORTSMAN (made in USA) or SURPLUS (made in Japan) catalogs, but are presented here regrouped by “story” rather than CoO (Country of Origin.)
Besides the classic style references and vintage inspiration, the common threads in all these original garments are our long-standing commitment to ethical manufacturing and aversion to fast fashion.

“WATERFRONT SURPLUS”:
Inspired by 1930’s US Navy and French Marine Nationale utility uniforms, it consists of the following.
1) DOCKYARD Jacket (made in Japan):

* Beige mid-weight slubby Chambray, 50% Hemp – 25% Linen – 25% Cotton.

FW2019 Mister Freedom® x Sugar Cane mfsc collections.

Our Mister Freedom® x Sugar Cane Fall/Winter 2019 contribution to the world of Menswear fashion this up-coming season will consist of three groupings, FW2019 “PIOUPIOU”, “SURPLUS” and “SPORTSMAN”.

The “PIOUPIOU” collection is our 2019 theme-based capsule collection.
The obsolete term “Pioupiou” was a happy-go-lucky nickname given to French soldiers heading out to the frontlines on the onset of WW1. As the “Great War” (1914-1918) dragged on, and trenches of the Western Front revealed their terrifying reality, the sobriquet quickly changed to “POILU” (literally ‘hairy’), ’tough guy’ or badass in period jargon…
Our collection is loosely inspired by French military-issued garb of the 1910’s to the 1930’s. It blends period utility uniforms and revisited vintage civilian attire into contemporary wearables, following the usual MF® “might have been” design approach.
The FW2019 “PIOUPIOU” line-up, all garments produced in Japan, will consists of:
