The Mister Freedom® Californian Lot 64 comes raw/unwashed, and will shrink to tagged size. Follow the usual recommended initial method before wearing: cold soak for 30mn, spin dry and line dry. Please refer to sizing chart to determine which size works for you.

CL's Advice: Which size works for you depends on how you like your jeans to fit. I wear a comfortable waist 32 in the Lot.64

We recommend getting your usual waist size, although proper fit is a subjective matter and everyone has their own idea of what looks good.

As with all denim twill, shrinkage and stretching will occur for a while and will depend on the wearer’s body, activities and initial fit.

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.

The island of Okinawa was, in the 1950’s, the temporary home of US advisors en route to the Laotian border and other relaxing retreats around the Vietnamese countryside… In the tradition of local-made garments using recycled Government-issued equipment and fabrics, we used HBT “Frogskin” camo for pocketing, black painted “13 stars” tack buttons typical of US military WW2 utility/work uniforms, and our choice of un-marked labeling is a reference to ‘sterile’ clothing worn by advisors/Special Forces.

We made this Californian with a 14 Oz. left-hand twill indigo denim referred to as “Okinawa 301”. Milled in Japan from a blend of 50% Okinawan recycled sugar cane fibers and 50% cotton, this narrow loom denim has been a Mister Freedom® favorite for some time.
