\u003cli\u003eDETAILS:\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOriginal msfc pattern, freely inspired by 1950s USAF Mechanic Utility Trousers style.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMid-high rise period cut.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTwo front slash patch pockets.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e“Utility\/map” pocket, left leg inseam, mid-calf.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eButton fly, brown corrozo wood buttons.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eQuick release side cinch tabs, 2-inch waist adjustment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eContrast “Indian” orange snap caps on tabs + cotton ripstop facing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTwo rear patch pockets, single flap.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlat-felled seam sturdy construction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMister Freedom® mfsc “Survival School” double labeling: woven rayon “MFSC NAVAL CLOTHING TAILOR” topped with printed “EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH UNIT” labels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSIZING\/FIT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRecommended protocol:\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCold soak for about 30-40mn, with occasional hand agitation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThese are considered true-to-size.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eA tagged W32 will most-likely be the right size for an individual with an approximate measured natural waist of +\/- 32 inches, and with average body proportions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eI opted for a W30 in the MECHANIC Trousers  — my usual current size in mfsc jeans\/trousers at 5’7 ~145 lbs — for a fit top block (tabs un-cinched) and comfortable straight leg silhouette.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNote that the side tabs allow for a 2-inch waist adjustment when fully-cinched (second snap.)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWe recommend hemming the pants to your desired length after the shrinking process.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe simple 1 ¾  inch folded hem only requires single-needle machine work, and traditional hemming will look sharper than rolled cuffs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe waist size that will work best for you depends on your body type and how you like your pants to fit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlease refer to size chart, reflecting rinsed measurements.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCARE\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLaunder when needed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTurn garment inside out to avoid marbling during laundering.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExcessive and irreversible shrinkage may result from using hot water and heat dryer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSTORY\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWe are freely borrowing again from a vintage pair of 1957 New Old Stock “TROUSERS, UTILITY, COTTON, SAGE GREEN, CLASS 2, HEMMED BOTTOMS, SHADE 509” (MIL-T-4335A) from our archives.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIssued to US Air Force Aircraft Mechanics in the mid 1950’s, these cotton sateen “grease monkey” pants are immediately distinguishable by their USAF sage green fabric, front single pleats, double thigh tool pockets, and long cinch-waist adjusting tabs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThey somewhat have the ‘look’ of the lower half of a pilot flight suit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompared to the ubiquitous 1950s-60s OG-107 cotton sateen Utility Trousers — their military fatigue MIL-T-838 brother-in-arms, sometimes referred to as “Baker” pants —, vintage specimen of USAF MIL-T-4335A are rare birds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWe initially modified the pattern\/fit\/features\/fabric of the USAF originals back in 2014, and released the MF® Mechanic Utility Trousers in an indigo Cavalry twill.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWe kept the functional side cinch tabs — allowing for a quick 2-inch waist adjustment —, but left off the front pleats and thigh tool pockets.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInstead, a single utility pocket was relocated along the inseam of the left leg, ‘sandwiched’ in the flat-felled seam, mid-calf, convenient for storing map\/gloves\/tools\/phone\/etc.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe main update for this FW2023 edition of the MF® MECHANIC Trousers is the fabric, pretty much going back full circle to the original 1950s version, fabric wise.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWe opted for a 9 Oz. vintage Mil-Specs cotton-back sateen, OG-107 color — that classic shade of Olive Green we all love.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMilled in 2024 as close as it gets to its 1952 US military cotton-back sateen predecessor, our MECHANIC fabric is bound to age as gracefully as vintage specimen did.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFor that worn-in look, you will have to do the wearing, as we are still not caving-in to factory-distressed processes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe OG-107 color base fabric is complimented by subtle “Indian” orange contrast accents, visually matching our “Survival School” concept.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe blazing orange snap caps and concealed orange ripstop fabric facing are nods to vintage US Military survival\/signal gear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFabric milled in Japan.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mister
