CL's Advice: I am usually a 38/medium and wear a 38 “Blouson El Americano”.
Hand wash or machine wash on delicate, cold water, minimal eco-friendly detergent. Turn inside-out. Line dry only.
This fabric will develop attractive patina over time, according to the owner’s activities, frequency of wear and laundering choices.
As always the ‘Blouson El Americano’ is not an exact replica of an existing jacket, but rather a new garment a la MF®. The pattern combines details of several short-type vintage jackets, 1920’s-30’s suede leather jackets and casual western coats.
This brown "duck" canvas is milled and dyed exclusively for us in Japan, originally inspired by a 1930′s hunting jacket from the MF® Archive, creating a fabric that will develop a beautiful patina over time.
Our blouson features details like low positioned chest pockets typical of 1920’s-30’s, flared shaped cuffs inspired by a 1800's suede ‘bolero’ jacket and the rounded collar of A-1 type coats.
This MF® garment is designed in California by Mister Freedom® and manufactured in Japan by Sugar Cane Co.
