CL's Advice: I often wear a Medium in mfsc shirting and I opted for a comfortable Medium in the MF® TRADE Shirt.

Machine wash inside out with cold water, gentle cycle, eco-friendly mild detergent and line dry.

The calico pattern we selected came from the archives of a Parisian industrial drawing study, who apparently got contracted by a textile-printing mill for original fabric prints, sometimes in the 1930’s~50’s. We scored these hand-painted goodies in a Parisian flea market, years ago.

One of the pattern is a fairly traditional stripe-effect repeat (fabric of the Nixon Shirt), contrasting with the more “Liberty Print” or polka-dot style of the other (Trade Shirt).

This MF® garment is designed in California by Mister Freedom® and manufactured in Japan by Sugar Cane Co.
