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…
Made in Japan, the line-up includes:
a) PIONEER Jacket:
* Midnight denim, selvedge 16 Oz. indigo warp x black weft.
* Wool plaid, 21 Oz.
b) DEPUTY Pants:

d) MAVERICK Jacket:
* “Malibu” denim, selvedge 12 Oz.
* “Ice-Blu” denim, selvedge 12 Oz.
* “Malibu” x “Ice-Blu” combo.

“WATERFRONT SURPLUS” is an old mfsc favorite, a nautical grouping inspired by 1930’s US Navy and French Marine Nationale utility uniforms, local-made and custom-tailored dungarees, with the usual liberties we take with military-inspired classics. Made in Japan, this line-up includes:
a) PRIVATEER Roll-Neck:
* Cotton rib, indigo-dyed.
* Cotton rib, natural.
b) MF37 SNIPES Shirt:
Blue chambray, BR selvedge 5 Oz.
c) MF51 FIELD Shirt:

h) TOPSIDERS:

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. 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 and stay cool my friends.

Love from Sunny California,

c
