Mister Freedom | Chemise Calico

cali-cool...

The Mister Freedom x Sugarcane Spring 2011 Collection "Les Apaches" has arrived. This indigo blue Calico was inspired by the late 1800's cotton printed shirting and several vintage swatches from Mister Freedom. Mister Freedom went back to early techniques of discharge printing to produce these textiles in Japan.  I really love the color of this shirt and if this collection/shirt fits anything like their chambray shirts a la J.Crew, this is a sure fire winner.
