Mister Freedom Shipyard Chinos
I have to say that these are just about my favorite item from the Fall 2011 collection. Based on a work dungaree pattern rather than the tradition military style, these are guaranteed to only get better with age. Available in khaki, brown and navy blue. Priced to move at $269 + shipping. Pick them up HERE or wherever Mister Freedom is sold.
SPECS:
PATTERN: All original MFSC pattern. Not the typical USAF/USN traditional “chinos” pattern, more of a work dungarees design, but in cotton chino twill.
FABRICS: 100% cotton tightly woven chino twill, woven in Japan. Very “crispy” feel. Lighter ounce. Three colours available, khaki, brown, navy.
DETAILS:
* Wrap leg construction (no side seam)
* Front patch pockets secured in the waist band, copper rivet reinforced.
* Adjustable cinch back strap with NOS metal sharp prong buckle (yes, the kind that…)
* Rear cotton cloth patch for custom stenciling, concealed behind back strap.
* Metal donut crest buttons for waist and fly, painted black.
* Tonal 100% cotton stitching.
* Crotch copper rivet, so no sitting in front of the fire.
SIZING/FIT: Comfortable fit, but not baggy. I wear a size 30 on the photos. Could go to 32 for a more roomy silhouette and cinch the waist. The silhouette is according to personal preferences, but i don’t recommend wearing those chinos tight. If you are a true waist 31, you will fit in a waist 30 in the shipyard chinos.

Rest In Peace Darko
The world has lost another good friend and stellar musician. Darko Grosek was the guitar player for the Croatian rockabilly band the Mad Men. He will be missed by many.
