Due to pattern cutting technicalities, fabrics with a 29”~32” width are usually ideal for making selvedge jeans, not shirts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBecause you need almost double the amount of yardage to produce one garment, obviously driving the cost up.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBut, like desert dweller Edward “take the other” Abbey suggested, this was the less-travelled road we opted for again.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSo there it is.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTo spice things up, we opted for contrast yellow and orange stitching (the vintage-inspired color combo we use on our Californian blue jeans), a nod to period workwear production when consistency took second place over using-up everything on hand at factory level, fabric, trims, lining, and thread.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdditionally, a front row of fancy French milky-white glass buttons (authentic New Old Stock from the 1920s-30s) should make you feel very special, and probably aggravated should you accidentally smash one.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eJust don’t stomp on your shirt wearing clogs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIf you do, forget Amazon, but this place may have replacements.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe MF® SPORTSMAN Shirt “IceBlu” Denim is designed and\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003emade in California, USA, by Mister Freedom® in collaboration with Sugar Cane Co.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mister Freedom","offers":[{"title":"Small","offer_id":52917244231959,"sku":"MFSC-817-S","price":250.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium","offer_id":52919196746007,"sku":"MFSC-817-M","price":250.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large","offer_id":52919196778775,"sku":"MFSC-817-L","price":250.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"XL","offer_id":52919196811543,"sku":"MFSC-817-XL","price":250.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"XXL","offer_id":52919196844311,"sku":"MFSC-817-XXL","price":250.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0992\/5994\/1143\/files\/SportsmanShirt-IceBluDenim.jpg?v=1777419653","url":"https:\/\/therightgarment.com\/products\/mister-freedom-sportsman-shirt-iceblu","provider":"The Right Garment","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
