Words

This spring Mister Freedom drew inspiration from "Les Apaches", for his collection based on the French street bandits of the early 19th Century. The 9.7oz Indigo Metisse fabric, a mixture of both cotton and unsanforised linen, give this coat a strong referenced look to the original design ideas of MFSC.

Words

Mister Freedom's upcoming collection with Tokyo's Sugar Cane sees the merger of the two concepts of the past. MFSC Fall '10 is a mix of the “Naval Clothing Tailor” and “Speed Safe Clothing” collections. With a few returning classics like the N1-H Deck jacket and Rider's Dungarees, the range also adds a few new styles. As usual, the most impressive aspect of the garments is the materials. Beautiful 10oz midnight indigo twill on the CPO, nice french terry henleys and 12oz deadstock selvedge denim on 5-pocket jeans. The collection might seem quite diverse stylistically but each individual piece is loaded with great detail and can be worn with any other for any number of great looks. Look for deliveries come September.

Words

I had my first trip to the beach this past weekend and suffice to say this Tripper tote from Mister Freedom would have been a much needed improvement over the recyclable Safeway shopping bag I ended up using. Made from deadstock, vintage American denim the bag has the perfect combination of characteristics in being nice and light yet sturdy and flexible. The great pocket configuration (one inner big enough to fit a macbook) means it's just as suitable for the sand as it is the classroom or cubicle too.

Mister Freedom MFSC VS-09 Vest

Mister Freedom is at it again for the spring with a pretty cool looking vest. His fall collection was really beautiful work which we saw retail at Self Edge, who did a great job with the art direction of the product photos. Christophe's direction of the brand remains with the hardcore references and detailing inspired by the sea. Made for shore leave, "our Sailor had this denim vest custom Tailor made by the “MFSC Naval Tailors”, Naval Supply Research Dept." With a total of 8 pockets and the yellow coated twill lining, this vest is about as function as cool looking. While probably not an easy wear for most people, if you plan on some swashbuckling and open seas this summer, you've found your prize.

Want: Mister Freedom for J. Crew Deck Coat

This looks like a great coat. With Mister Freedom's attention to details and great taste in reproductions combining with J. Crew's money to pretty much make anything at this point, how could the result not be good? I personally really would love to own this coat. It would be great all year round in Canada, look amazing with everything, I'm sure it fits awesome and I love all of the details. I'm always a big fan of the navy influenced pieces and this is no different. In fact this makes me even more a fan. I am tempted to buy this coat and walk to docks looking for a job at sea (to pay for it at $850). But then who would blog?  J. Crew has been doing a lot of good things lately, you can add this to the list. The only problem besides the price is that it's only available at the J. Crew Liquor store for men, and you'll have to deal with the unfriendly, arrogant service.
