Mister Freedom "Midnight" CPO

Mister Freedom Type 189-mn "Midnight" CPO shirt picked up last month. The right wrist area is staring to show good wear due to me falling down a small cliff. Thanks to Benny Mistak for taking the first two photos.

SPECS:

PATTERN: An all original MFSC pattern, inspired by 1920’s-30’s military/uniform shirting.
FABRIC: 10 oz. Indigo warp/black weft twill (with royal blue selvedge ID), aka “MFSC midnight denim”, aka black back denim, aka ‘the bleeder’. Unsanforized
DETAILS: Metal military snaps, long chin strap, elbow reinforcement, double shoulder patch, yoke back, selvedge chambray side gussets, buttoned belly flap, triple snap wrists, indigo popeline/blue chambray facing, underarm chambray gussets, inside chest passport pocket…

WASHING: Please do not BOIL this one! We recommend wearing the shirt raw. You can spray it with water to get some shrinkage (full shrinkage is about a full size down), and wear it damp to mold to your body (no white undershirt!). Can be dry cleaned in the future.

If you need to wash this shirt, cold water and very minimal soap, inside out. NO dryer. The reason for all this is to maximize the beauty of the fading that is guarenteed to happen with repeat wear.

Fire Clip/Sequoias

Rising sun's A.B. Elfelt & Company Jeans

When I was in California, I stopped by Rising Sun and Co. in Pasadena. The company was created by Mike Hodis and one of the quotes from their website is: "We often think of ourselves as actually working in the early 1900's with our 21st century minds intact." While I was at the shop I picked up a pair of the A.B. Elfelt & Company reproduction jeans based on a pair of originals from the 1870's. Click here to visit there website. I took the jeans along with a vintage Henley and a pair of suspenders from Mister Freedom on our road trip to shoot.

Getting back to reality.

Back from my trip to Cali and had an amazing time. Me and Eric took a great road trip to Death Valley and a couple other places. Last day I was there I got to meet some incredible people in the denim/vintage clothing world including Brit, Mike, Larry, Mike, Bill and Julian. Also stopped by to say hi to Christophe and Katherine as usual. Here a couple few snaps tons more to come just having a hard time editing. Last photo is really cool old film canister that was in the middle of the desert. Picked up lots of goodies. More to come soon...........
