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:

4) CALIFORNIAN Lot.64, “Frontier” Duck:

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,
