CARE Turn inside-out to avoid marbling of the fabric. STORY This classic and versatile unstructured blazer is a part of our “Continental” series, an unpretentious all-made-in-USA casual suiting concept. The pattern is deprived from a French 1950’s cotton khaki twill work coat, pulled out of an old trunk belonging to a French postal worker. We adapted the vintage design to make it a bit more glamorous, but not going full Thomas Crown either. We aimed for ‘sporty playboy’ over 9-to-5 clerk. Yet, we wanted a casual sportswear feel. The fit is quite relaxed, with darts to cinch the waist and a kind of drop-shoulder pattern for top volume. This MF® garment is designed and manufactured in California by Mister Freedom®, in collaboration with Sugar Cane Co.
