- CARE
- STORY
- I learned a trick or two from my rag-picking days in the mid 1990s, one of them being that all plaids are not created equal.
- When corporate design teams (the likes of Ralph Lauren, J.
- Crew, Abercrombie, Gap, etc) were browsing my vintage racks at the Rosebowl, I quickly noticed that some plaid shirts were definitely getting more attention than others…
- An obviously initial divider is between woven and printed plaids, then you got your run-of-the-mill brushed cotton flannels, commercial wool checks and popular traditional patterns, notorious Scottish tartans that long-ago crossed over to fashion island, Pendleton classics, buffalo plaids, shadow plaids, patterned tweeds, … Once in a while, a unicorn shows up, an unusual pattern/color combo that everyone goes nuts about.
- And when your main source of income relies on the bacon you bring home from your local flea market only held once a month, one tends to start paying attention to both obvious and subtle differences between vintage plaid shirts!
- Fast-forward to 2024 Mister Freedom®…
- We regularly reach out to our friends at Sugarcane Co to mill a special check pattern for us, always inspired by the fabric of an unusual vintage specimen.
- Thanks to the long-standing textile expertise of Toyo’s Japan team — scrutinizing yarn hues with color wheels and analyzing fiber content with microscopic precision — , we have released a few “unicorn” plaids in our mfsc past.
- Opting for a 100% cotton yarn content when the original is 100% wool is often a design choice related to our roots in Southern California and local climate.
- The Secoya shirt in “McG plaid” or “Winter King plaid” — and, notably, the upcoming eye-pleasing FW2024 “Secoya Tartan”— the Dude Rancher in “Joan plaid” and “Indigo-covert plaid”, the Scrambler jacket in “Tartan Check”, the lining of our Dune Buggy, …, all come to mind.
- Sometime in 2023, while out-and-about Downtown LA, CA., hunting for New Old Stock fabrics for FW2024 — under the supervision and guidance of MF® official sniffer #TheJoeGreene —, the Joe sniffed out a very interesting woolen shadow plaid, in the ocean of textiles of an overstocked jobber warehouse.
- The bonus was that there was enough yardage to justify a small limited production.
- Sold!
- From what intel I could gather, that fabric was milled in India, painstakingly-woven on traditional antiquated powerloom machines.
- It features a fancy monogramed selvedge tape with the mill’s brand — “Premium Woollens” — an apparently now-defunct maker.
- The British textile industry has a long history of weaving/printing traditional textiles in its old Empire’s colonies — see Madras fabric legacy briefly discussed here — so it is no surprise that India’s textile industry would still expertly-produce a wide range of Old Albion’s classic woolen tweeds today.
- From the ombre plaid vibe, that check pattern seems to fall under the “Shadow Plaid” family, with an attractive gradient heathered combination of black/grey/blue/ivory colored yarns.
- The fabric is a woolen blend, exact fiber content unknown.
- We opted for the Mister Freedom® RANGER Shirt pattern for this fabric score, a visual nod to the Beach Boys’ 1962 Pendleton-sponsored outfits (more here), and 60s SoCal surf culture in general.
- A bit of a stylistic stretch since our RANGER Shirt pattern conveys more of a 1930s-40s vibe, but, as you know, we always like to take a bit of liberty in the design process, and don’t do replicas.
- This shirt is a fairly versatile and casual garment, easily wearable tucked or untucked, as an overshirt or just over a long-sleeve T-Shirt, paired with traditional denim jeans, 60s-style “wheat” jeans, chinos styles, etc…
- The Mister Freedom® RANGER Shirt NOS “Selvedge Woolen Plaid” edition is designed and
- made in California, CA., in collaboration with Sugar Cane Co.
- Cut from NOS fabric milled in India.
