Mister Freedom Solid Indigo Veste Ouvrier (L) 102, $325
Proxied from Japan, and I just haven’t worked it into the rotation. It’s just too nice to leave hanging. Tried on, never worn outside, bnwt.
This did not come in the U.S. only packaging, but otherwise as from Selfedge here:
“Inspired by early french work wear gear, the first installment of the MFSC Apache collection is a their version of a french worker’s coat. Mister Freedom has combined elements of several 1900’s to 1940’s pieces to make the veste ouvrier.
SPECS:
•PATTERN: An original MFSC pattern and fit, inspired by early french bleu de chauffe.
•FABRIC: INDIGO Métisse: 9.7 oz. indigo dyed twill blend, 70% cotton and 30% linen, un-sanforized. The yarn core is white, the indigo outer has a purple blue shade typical of early french indigo work clothes. Fades, bleeds and reacts to sun light…
•BUTTONS: Original MFSC Corozo natural wood buttons. (aka “vegetable ivory”, corozo buttons where an hi-end option for suiting from the 1900’s to 1940’s). Five button-front.
DETAILS:
•Original slanted button holes, to keep straight vertical closure.
•Inside white cotton twill pocket backing, to reinforce pocket top edges.
•Concealed chest pocket, with flap covering the MFSC woven label (NO visible branding/logo, so you don’t feel like a billboard…).
•Cinch back belt, with original french NOS metal sharp-prong buckle (DISCLAIMER: guaranteed to mess up your car seat, but we figured they have been around on battle fileds and in factories since the 1840’s, so we’re taking the risk in 2011…). The buckle is removable and you can switch to one that fits your needs.
•Concealed chin strap.
CONSTRUCTION: Tailor type single needle french seams, no overlock nor chainstitch. 100% Cotton thread, oxidized black/brown colour.
SHRINKAGE: Raw fabric, will shrink lightly with cold wash/hang dry, shrinkage is minimal on these.
SIZING: The Apache collection is sized/labelled in french. 92 (small), 97 (medium), 102 (large), 107(Xlarge)
Chest44.5
Vertical Length30.0
Sleeve Length27.0
Shoulder Width19.5
$325 shipped US. International inquire.
