Inspired by early European shirting, here is a fine lightweight moleskine pull-over shirt.

The name hirondelle (swallow) is a reference to a collar shape typical of 1930’s french shirting. Longer and pointier than its American ‘wing tip’ collar counterpart. It also refers to the bird often seen tattooed on the French Apaches skins. The hirondelle symbolized freedom and escape.

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