CL's Advice: I often wear a Medium in mfsc shirting and I opted for a comfortable Medium in the MF® TRADE Shirt. CARE STORY An original mfsc pattern, early American homesteader style, a silhouette reminiscent of old Frontier days and Native Americans adopting non-traditional western fashions, as seen on period field photography. The calico pattern we selected came from the archives of a Parisian industrial drawing study, who apparently got contracted by a textile-printing mill for original fabric prints, sometimes in the 1930’s~50’s. We scored these hand-painted goodies in a Parisian flea market, years ago. One of the pattern is a fairly traditional stripe-effect repeat (fabric of the Nixon Shirt), contrasting with the more “Liberty Print” or polka-dot style of the other (Trade Shirt).
