MFSC “Midnight Riders”, Mister Freedom® x Sugar Cane, Spring 2010: The “Speed Safe Clothing for Modern Riders” Collection.

Man, do we love those dungarees here! Can’t stop wearing them and noticing the indigo abrasion everyday. Impossible for me to photographically capture the beauty of the fabric, but the combo indigo “soaked” yarn warp and black dyed yarn weft has a life of it’s own. You’ll see…
The face of the raw fabric looks like a rich very dark indigo/black. The inside looks black.

SPECS:

* Pattern: An all original MFSC pattern, inspired by twill work chino pants, old denim dungarees and European 20’s-30’s slacks.
* Fabric: 10 oz. original MFSC exclusive denim cotton twill, milled in Japan. Indigo warp x black weft. Royal blue selvedge ID. Non-sanforized (=not pre-shrunk).
Expect an average shrinkage of 5%, and recurring shrinking/stretching with wash and wear. Wash with COLD water, minimal mild detergent to keep the indigo contrast and starch.
* Silhouette: 1930’s work slacks, straight leg.
* Pockets: Slash front pockets/Back “never ripum” style pockets/Ankle “tools-maps” pockets/Watch-Zippo pocket.
* Pocketing: MFSC original blue Chambray (end-on-end) cotton. NOS plaid fabric lining for watch-Zippo pocket.
* Waist Band: Reinforcement parallel row stitching. Exposed selvedge on inside.
* Buttons: Steel black painted donut type. Crest donut waist and suspenders buttons (Ready for the now available original MF® Utility Braces!)
* Belt Loops: Rear “no-sag” wide belt loop, with rayon MFSC label.
* Rivets: Steel, gun metal

The “Midnight Riders” featured on the photos are my own (dirty) pair, worn raw for about 1+ month, still unwashed, NFS.
Stock issues are RAW and not artificially aged. Get your own whiskers, baby! Also expect some indigo “bleeding” on underwear or undershirts, goes with the territory…You can soak the garment in water/vinegar to limit that.

The “Mulholland Master” is BACK…in BLACK

 

Mulholland Master Black

 

Following the huge success of our original “Speed Safe” MFSC Mulholland Master , the popular Brown Jungle cloth issue, we issued a modified version as a special US only limited edition.
We kept in under the radar until it was released and hit the Mister Freedom store. Va boom.

SPECS of the MF S/c Black MULHOLLAND MASTER:

* Fabric: Originally developed for the US Navy and officially called “Jungle Cloth”. A sturdy 100% cotton ‘gros grain’ type cloth, tightly woven for wind proofing and with water repellent qualities. It can be individually waxed with adequate wax dressing, to add to the water proofing quality. Initially natural white, the fabric is professionally dyed to a rich BLACK, guaranteed to beautify with wear. Preshrunk with gentle rinse.

* Lining: The body lining is 100% cotton wide wale corduroy, midnight blue color, for warmth. The inner arms lining is a “new/old stock” 100%cotton fabric, white and indigo plaid checkered, found in limited quantities in a warehouse in Los Angeles.

* Hardware: Sturdy FIOCCHI metal snaps (the original manufacturer of Italian military snaps, along with their cousin counterpart Company DEWEY), painted black.
* The front zipper is a 1930’s style “Hookless” type, with HBT cotton taping.
* The wind flap is secured by Fiocchi brass snaps, painted black.
* The metal buckles used for the throat strap and belt (police type garrison buckle) are “new/old stock” US hardware.
* Underarms venting metal eyelets.
* Body: ¾ length, comfortable fit.
