“Workman Shirt” in NOS cotton-linen Stripe Chambray & “Sportsman Shirt” in NOS check cotton poplin.
The Sportsman catalog, Spring 2017
Made in USA

We are kicking Spring 2017 with two additions to the Mister Freedom® Sportsman catalog, home of Made-in-USA vintage-inspired classics, old-school original MF® patterns issued in an assortment of fine New Old Stock or fancy Japan-milled fabrics.

This season, our MF® Workman Shirt comes in a fancy New Old Stock woven stripe chambray, a textured cotton-linen blend of EU origin. This light color oat meal fabric contrasts with the previous darker iterations of our traditional 1940’s-50’s type work shirt, such as the HBT Gunpowder Tea, Indigo Wabash, or 2×1 Blue Denim versions.

The MF® Sportsman Shirt, another vintage work shirt classic pattern with an early workwear twist (chin strap and shoulder yoke darts), gets a woven check cotton poplin navy blue treatment. This NOS fabric of fine manufacture is of uncertain origin.
Both shirts are produced in limited quantities, due to limited stock of fabric.

The Workman Shirt and Sportsman Shirt are designed and manufactured in California by Mister Freedom®, in collaboration with Sugar Cane Co.

The Workman shirt, NOS 2×1 denim, Sportsman Fall 2015, Made in USA.

Everyone got the memo at the denim bros convention, San Bernardino, Calif., 1955. Save for the Aloha shirt dude.

The “WORKMAN” shirt, 2×1 NOS denim.
Sportsman catalog, Fall 2015.
Made in USA.

Introducing a new option of our ‘Workman” shirt for Fall 2015. This shirt is a no-bell-no-whistle, clean-cut, vintage style uniform/work shirt. The body and general pattern stay the same as the original two models introduced this Spring, in pincheck and HBT stripe denim.
The fabric we opted for this season is a New Old Stock two by one (2×1) 100% cotton blue denim of about 8 Oz. Originally very dark in color, this lightweight denim will over time naturally develop its blues, with normal wash and wear cycles.
We went for olive green color cotton stitching to add to the intended muted character of this shirt. The stitching matches with the olive green popeline side gussets and olive green phytelephas arecaceae endosperm buttons.

The Sportsman “Workman” shirt is designed and manufactured in California by Mister Freedom®, in collaboration with Sugar Cane Co.

NOTE: The beat-up MF® Trooper Boots featured are still unavailable in your size right here.
