CL's Advice: I wear my usual Ranch Blouse size in this “ICE-BLU” edition, a cold-soaked 38. Please refer to sizing chart for approximate raw/soaked measurements. CARE Turn inside-out to avoid marbling of the fabric. This fabric will develop attractive patina over time, according to the owner’s activities, frequency of wear and laundering choices. STORY The Mister Freedom® RANCH BLOUSE pattern is our original take on classic denim jacket styles from the Golden Age of American workwear, 1930s to 1950s. The Ranch Blouse has a 1930’s ~ 1940’s flare with the traditional bell and whistle ie. the pleated front and the buckle back. Our 12 Oz. “ICE-BLU” denim twill, the Mister Freedom® interpretation of vintage colored denims features a sky blue indigo warp and ecru weft and solid white selvedge. To match the Ranch Blouse, we gave our Californian Lot.674 the "ICE-BLU" treatment. For the Texas Tuxedo-shy, mixing-up either top or bottom with traditional darker denim might be the ticket. Either way, these two pieces are quite versatile for anyone with a sense of style anchored in old classics.
