SIZING/FIT The Mister Freedom® Continental Shirt comes raw/unwashed, and will shrink to tagged size. Please refer to sizing chart to determine which size works for you. CL's Advice: If you are a Medium in mfsc shirts/jackets, you are a Medium in the ‘Continental‘. Because of the specific cut, the darting and requirements of this blazer-like pattern, this shirt/jacket will not fit every frame. For instance, the arm construction, although comfortable, disqualifies this jacket as beach-volley attire. There are no expansion pleats. CARE Turn inside-out. This fabric will develop attractive patina overtime, according to the owner’s activities, frequency of wear and laundering choices. STORY The Mister Freedom® Continental shirt/jacket only features four pockets and might not qualify as jungle-ready, but a glance at its intricate inside construction makes it look quasi tailor-made. Style-wise this jacket is a combination of several influences: fancy 1950’s-70’s unlined tropical gear, short sleeve blazers, safari-type pocketing, elegant uniform silhouettes, Old World tailoring, and the mighty Sun Zhongshan suit. For the detail-oriented who opens a garment to check its structure, the combination of bias tape piping and fabric selvedge is quite pleasant to the eye, if we may say so ourselves.
