Mister Freedom® x Sugar Cane Co mfsc SS2022 Preview.

Dear Friends,

Hope this finds you well, healthy, and in good spirits.
It is that time of the year… so here is a preview of our Mister Freedom® x Sugar Cane (mfsc) SS2022 collaboration.

Two main groupings: a theme-based capsule collection featuring follow-ups of “PODIUM“ and “FROGSVILLE” (we’re calling the fusion “PODSVILLE“), and the usual seasonal additions to our classic SPORTSMAN (made in USA) and SURPLUS (made in Japan) catalogs.
Our “PODIUM” concept is inspired by vintage athletic wear from the 1940s to 1980s, mixing vintage hi-tech sporting gear, traditional Track & Field uniforms and classic gym clothes. We’ve put our MF® twist on athleisure wear, if you will, with practical, versatile, unpretentious pieces for working out, or just hanging out.
The “FROGSVILLE” concept is a stylistic incursion into the world of vintage UDT (Underwater Demolition Team), Frogmen and US Navy SEALs. We are revisiting US military rigger-made garments, merging 1940s-1970s references into modern day wearables.
The resulting “PODSVILLE” combo is a blend of vintage athletic fashion, utilitarian PT (Physical Training) gear, and custom garments local-made for military personnel while on tour.
The collection is intended as an inspiration to a healthy and active lifestyle, promoting outdoor activities over joystick practice.
