The MF® TOPSIDERS come raw/unwashed, and are cut so that the measurements roughly match the labeling AFTER an initial cold soak/line dry. We recommend the usual protocol before wearing:

• Cold soak in a tub for about 30-40mn, with occasional hand agitation.

• Line dry, no heat dryer.

At ~5’7 & 145 Lbs, I opted for a comfortable W30. I wear them slightly cinched in the back because of the generous waist. I went for “sloppy rolls” for now, and may hem them later.

To save on unnecessary frustration and size swap shipping fees, please reach out to sales@misterfreedom.com to tune-in sizing if unsure. Please do provide body type and measurements, silhouette expectation, and, if available, measurements of a similar garment you own that fits according to your style.

The MF® Topsiders NOS Crosshatch Moss denim are low-maintenance.
Garment turned inside-out, machine wash when needed, cold/warm water, delicate cycle, eco-friendly detergent. Hang dry.
Using hot water or heat dryer may result in excessive and irreversible shrinkage.

fresh from our local California factory, the Mister Freedom® TOPSIDERS are back!
The pattern — discussed at length here — is an old favorite dating back to 2014 in MF® chronology, but with design roots in WW2 US Navy denim dungarees. Classic generous cut, high-waisted, straight wrap leg, button fly, four patch pockets, cinch back.

We have released our TOPSIDERS in a few fabric options through the years, mostly all sold-out today, although some random pairs found in storage may pop up in the MF® warehouse occasionally.

This FW2024 release features a woven goodie we scored from a local fabric jobber a while back: some New Old Stock yardage of premium crosshatch denim twill with a nice indigo moss blue color, wide loom, 11 Oz., a blend of 70% cotton and 30% linen of probable Italian mill origin. This fabric has an attractive and unusual greenish indigo warp, enhanced by a charcoal grey weft yarn. Although it has worked perfectly for our Continental suiting series because of its fine drape/color/texture, it also carries a vintage military-issued might-have-been fabric vibe, perfect for the TOPSIDERS. Workwear meets premium denim.

The MF® TOPSIDERS are designed in California by Mister Freedom®, and produced in the USA, in collaboration with Sugar Cane Co.
