Chandail Saint-Malo

SPECS * An original MF® pattern inspired by vintage nautical shirts and traditional French naval jerseys. * Fabric: New Old Stock 100% cotton “Fisherman’s rib stitch” jersey knit, deep dark indigo blue yarn-dyed, milled in USA. * Slim-fitting at first, relaxed fit after mechanical stretch. * ¾ length sleeves. * Side slits. * Extended back tail. * Concealed ID patch for custom markings, cut from vintage selvedge chambray fabric. * Contrasting “Sportsman” green inside stitching. SIZING/FIT Please refer to sizing chart to determine which size works for you. CL's Advice: I wear a Small in Stanley and Skivvy, and usually Medium in mfsc button shirts. I opted for a size Small in the Saint-Malo, with a snug initial fit that loosened-up gradually and rapidly while wearing the shirt. After a day of normal wear, the body expands a few inches in width, minimally in length. If the pattern has been specifically adjusted to avoid an unattractive “boxy” silhouette, a Small in the AM feels somewhat like a Medium in the PM. As always, which size will work for you depends on your own aesthetics, body type, preference for ‘vintage’ silhouette or contemporary fit. CARE We recommend cold wash with eco-friendly detergent, heat dryer. Wash and dry separately. This garment is meant to be laundered following each wear. It will shrink to a tighter fit after wash/heat dry, and expand again with wear. This fabric will develop attractive patina overtime, according to the owner’s activities, frequency of wear and laundering choices. DISCLAIMER: This indigo garment will ‘bleed’ through several wash/wear cycles, and color transfer. It is the nature of indigo-dyed garments to transfer some of the indigo color to other surfaces, from abrasion. This indigo color transfer will eventually subside after about 10-15 wear/wash cycles. STORY Manufactured nowhere close to Bretagne but right here in sunny California, the Mister Freedom® indigo chandail is no less Seven-Seas-ready. The MF® Chandail Saint-Malo is quite versatile and can be worn as a single-layer nautical shirt, as a thermal-type undershirt, as a light sweater over a summer-weight button shirt, like a chambray or Ranger Shirt for instance. This MF® garment is designed and manufactured in California by Mister Freedom®, in collaboration with Sugar Cane Co.
