Mister Freedom Shirts<Snipes Shirt Chambray Blue

New for this AW20 season from Mister Freedom we have the Snipes Chambray Shirt, inspired by an original issue US Army full button up shirt. 

The Snipes shirt from Mister Freedom is inspired by shirts originally introduced in the early 1930’s in the form of a woolen shirt issued to U.S. Army & Air Corps Personnel, normally in an olive drab or mustard colour-way. The overall design was heavily based on civilian workwear garments with intricacies of tailoring seen throughout. 

Characteristics from original garments issued included a one-piece unstructured collar (no collar band), a singular style of elbow reinforcement patch, and two large utilitarian chest pockets each with pen compartments. The Snipes features all of these details but has been cut from a slubby indigo chambray fabric with green contrasting stitching. 

The premium selvedge indigo chambray is a MF staple and borrowed from their partners in Japan. This has been developed by Buzz Rickson’s and is used on their Vintage US Navy shirt repros. 

The Snipes Chambray Shirt is designed in California by Mister Freedom and manufactured in Japan by Sugar Cane & Co.
