you depends on how you like your jeans to fit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eI opted for a W30 with this model (my current waist size in MF® Californians), for a classic silhouette with a fitted

\u003cli\u003eOur classic Californian Lot64 blue jeans feature a mid-rise, straight leg and a slightly tapered silhouette for that desirable 1960’s vibe.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThis MF® garment is designed and manufactured in California by Mister Freedom®, in collaboration with Sugar Cane Co.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTraditional indigo-dyed denim fabric comes in all kinds of shades, weaving hues of warp and weft yarns in a twill pattern.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe most common weft yarns (the back of the fabric) usually range from unbleached white to light grey.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe warp yarns that make for the face (visible) side of the denim fabric can display a wide range of indigo blue shades, from light to dark.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNot a quality issue, but a matter of pure aesthetics and personal preference.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eKinda.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAt the yarn-dyeing stage (see rope dyeing), controlling the consistency of the target shade of indigo blue is one of the many challenges for craftsmen dyers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe choice of synthetic vs natural indigotin, number of dips into the vats, timing of oxidation, health of the vats, PH balance etc… all play a crucial role on the color outcome.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe lighter the desired hue of indigo-dyed warp yarns, the more challenging it is to keep a batch consistent.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBecause a smaller amount of dips sharply limits room for error, lighter shades of indigo shuttle loom selvedge denim fabrics are harder to come by.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWe have always embraced light-color indigo denims through the years — introducing a select numbers of MF® staples in Malibu denim starting in 2015, and all the way to our 2020 ice-blu Maverick jacket — so when a new candidate comes under our radar, you know a new model of Californian is incoming!\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFor a quick dive into indigo-dyeing references pertaining to traditional fabrics and denim twills milled in Japan, see here.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOn one side of the indigo color spectrum stands our range of MF® denim classics cut from Awa-Ai denim.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThat painstakingly-developed fabric has a very dark face, an indigo hue known as Kachi-iro” or “Katsu-iro (勝色) — literally meaning “color of victory” in Japanese — a specific indigo shade traditionally associated with good fortune, and samurai warriors’ superiority in the battlefield.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLegend has it that samurai wore dark indigo garments under their armor in combat, to help prevent wound infections.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBack to la-la land, for this special edition of the SS2025 Californian Lot64, we scored a premium selvedge denim fabric in the “Hanada-iro” (縹色) range of indigo blue, very close to the looks of our original 2015 Malibu denim fabric.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMilled in Japan in limited batches, this “Hanada” denim clocks in at a traditional 13 Oz., flashing a stand-out indigo color with a white with blue stripe selvedge ID.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDon’t expect drastic contrast whiskers with normal wash\/wear routine overtime, but you will definitely get the “what jeans are those?!” from random strangers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFor reasons known to corporate ambulance chasers in the sphere of conglomerate fast fashion peddlers operating under the disguise of traditional American name brands, we relocated our branded leather patch to the waistband this season, while our paper pocket flasher still hints at the MF® Californian’s original 2010 branding legacy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIn short, these ain’t no Wronglers®…\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFor an extra touch of high-maintenance and slow fashion chef kiss, we decided to sun-tan the leather patch on this batch of Californians, cause we’re bored like that.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOne thing that hasn’t — and will not — change, is the fact that our Californian blue jeans are cut\/sewn in California, USA.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe Mister Freedom® Lot64 Californian jeans “Hanada” edition are designed and\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003emade in California, USA, cut from premium selvedge denim milled in Japan.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mister
