Mister Freedom® “Hickory SAIL BAG”, Sportsman catalog, made in USA.

The MF® Hickory SAIL BAG and its Denim FLY BAG predecessor.

Mister Freedom® HICKORY SAIL BAG
The Sportsman catalog.
Made in USA

This MF® pattern was initially released as the “Denim Fly Bag” (Fall 2015), a handy carry-on travelling companion for frequent-flyers. The “Hickory Sail Bag” is an updated version of that original pattern.

Mixing old and new school, low and hi tech, this unassuming storage device is reminiscent of a mini US Army denim barrack bag, with improved practicality and versatility. It is actually travel-friendly.

The perks and features of this storage device have been previously discussed here, prefaced by a brief ode to contemporary air travel. Besides its updated nautical feel, this new edition is larger in size than its denim predecessor. The cylinder dimensions are approximately 20’’ tall x 11’’ diameter (about 15’’ flat across the body.)
The original Denim Fly Bag was devised to store personal effects needed on long flights: ear plugs, a copy of Annie Jacobsen’s “Surprise, Kill, Vanish“, pen & paper, phone, eye drops, toothbrush, hand sanitizer, inflatable neck pillow, sleep mask, surgical mask, headphones, slippers, etc… While your carry-on would go in the overhead bin, the Fly Bag could stay close at hand.
The Hickory Sail Bag can still be used as an unstructured lightweight grab-and-go compartment of your main carry-on bag, but its larger size also makes it a handy beach bag, daypack, or light camping gear container.
It is made of NOS selvedge indigo/white hickory stripe twill, with a vintage hi-tek water-resistant rubber-coated blue denim bottom panel.

The bag features a Velcro® closure side pocket made of olive green mil-specs nylon mesh, recycled from authentic New Old Stock US Army field insect bar netting. This pocket features two layers. The first layer stores what you need to have visual access to. The second compartment is made of NOS signal yellow twill, and can store flat items such as passport/currency/travelers checks, still easy access but out of sight.

The bag top opening closes with a cinch-cord. The fancy yellow sliding cord lock also serves as a lithium battery-operated LED light. Familiar to the outdoor enthusiast, this smart little Cord Lock Light (sold out everywhere!) will help you search the bag’s content in the dark, and potentially fend-off grizzly bear attacks while camping.
Note: Remove red plastic protective tab before using the light for the first time.

The MF® HICKORY SAIL BAG is designed and manufactured in the USA by Mister Freedom®.

Note: This item has been available for some time from the MF® HQ, but never published on the blog.

Mister Freedom® MUSETTE “mf7161” waxed canvas and “Biribi” indigo ticking, made in USA.

Mister Freedom® “MUSETTE mf7161”
Sportsman catalog x FW2019 PiouPiou.
Made in USA.

The MF® “Musette” pattern was introduced sometime in 2011, and is our interpretation of the M1892 haversack issued to French troops from the late 1800’s to the mid 1930’s. These “bread bags” were mostly used for carrying provisions. Soldiers on the front lines frequently carried two, packed with a loaf of bread, saucisson, and the daily ration of Père Pinard (250ml in 1914, 500ml in 1916… and a full 1/4 galon bottle by 1918) to numb the gruesome reality…

Our 2011 model, the Musette “Biribi”, was initially released in NOS indigo stripe ticking. This updated 2019 “Biribi” Type II features the same shell fabric but an Olive Drab adjustable strap (Vietnam-era NOS US Mil-Specs OD cotton webbing) and matching flap facing (NOS OD cotton HBT).

To compliment our mfsc FW2019 “PIOUPIOU” capsule collection, we are also issuing a modified version in a dark navy blue waxed cotton canvas. We have added an inner dividing panel. The custom chainstitched “mf 7161” Musette adornment, embroidered on a vintage hand-cranked CORNELY machine, is a reference to French military wool blanket markings of the period. The flap is unlined but is backed by a large blank cotton muslin patch, ready for personal markings.

The adjustable shoulder strap is cut from Vietnam-era NOS US Mil-Specs Olive Drab cotton webbing, and features a vintage-style two-prong metal buckle. The strap slack can either be slid through the buckle, or inserted through the webbing loop.

Note: These are unstructured bags. Neither models are padded and should not be considered as shock-proof protective carrying sleeves for laptop computers or iPads.

The Musette mf7161 is designed and manufactured in California by Mister Freedom®.

SPECS:
FABRIC:
1) “Biribi” model: NOS indigo stripe ticking, selvedge ID. NOS Olive Drab cotton HBT facing.
2) “mf7161” model: Navy blue waxed cotton canvas, moderate water-repellent properties.

DETAILS:
* Original MF® pattern, inspired by French military M1892 haversacks.
* Approximate dimensions: 14 inches x 11 inches x 1½ inch.
* Intricate construction with no open seams or overlock.
* Double layer body.
* Light weight.
* Adjustable shoulder strap.
* Vintage genuine bone buttons.
* “mf7161” model only: indigo stripe ticking inner divider, custom chainstitch embroidery on flap, backed with solid muslin patch for perso markings.
* Made in USA.

Available pre-rinsed only (“Biribi” model), and raw only (“mf7161” model)

CARE:
Machine wash when necessary, delicate cycle, cold water, minimal eco-friendly detergent. Hang dry.
The waxed canvas Musette may need to be hand re-waxed after wash to regain its somewhat water-repellent properties.
