MISTER FREEDOM

Here's a link to a couple pics from WAYWT thread.  I really like the shirt.  It's from Lot A aka "snowy".

How does feel, is it a lighter shirt? I do know it's 9 oz, but doesn't tell me to much.

[summ3rhays]

I would consider it to be light for a denim shirt, but my only other denim shirt is the 13.5 IH overdyed.  The denim is quite stiff for how light it is.  2 hot soaks with agitation and it was still like cardboard.  It's softened up quite a bit with wear, but it's definitely still denim.  There is no kidding yourself that you are picking up a chambray or flannel.

[bradl]

Awesome, going to pick this up for my summer work shirt.

I've got one of the Lot A Appaloosas and I love it. Its pretty lightweight but still feels relatively substantial. It was pretty stiff after the soak, much more then my Rogue Territory shirt, but has softened up pretty good. I've been wearing it as a jacket here in southern california, and its working pretty well.

Hey Kiya, which of the pieces from The Sportsman SS14 collection are you planning on selling on SE?

[xchen]

you might be better off posting that in the Self Edge thread

[Broark]

I'm thinking about getting an Appaloosa, how do people who have one like it?

Would love to see some worn examples as well.

Based on the SE measurements I'd probably size up for shrinkage.

Looks like the denim overshirt I've been looking for, love the details.

[bradl]

If you scroll up half way through this page we were talking about the Appaloosa.

[Broark]

I saw that, but I was more curious about sizing and worn examples.

[hollowsleather]

If by "worn" you mean worn-in and faded, it's probably too soon for that.

 

I'm normally medium in US shirts, and the large Appaloosa was a nice, trim fit.  So I'd say go up one.

[Broark]

Yeah I forgot that it's a fairly new shirt.

And thanks hollows, I was thinking up one based on the measurements.

Also I'm glad that this is fairly light as I don't was a super burly denim shirt.

Got in my Appaloosa today, might be better than the CPO. Fabric is mindblowing. Shirt is VERY SLIM. I sized up one and could barely cold soak it.

 

which fabric did you go for?

[xchen]

I don't think he's checking in on the thread lately but I'm sure he went with lot A.

[Broark]

I think I might go with the lot A from SE, shirt looks like just what I've been wanting in a denim shirt.

I ended up selling my Appaloosa after just a few weeks, never really wore it, the western style just didn't work out

Threads a bit sleepy, been meaning to post this up. Purchased at Self Edge NYC on opening day. I beleive Christophe hand printed 50. Makes a great wall hang... any interest pm me.

 

 

[kiya]

Crazy to think that it's been five years since that came out.

[JL77]

Grabbed an Appaloosa for myself yesterday. Hoping it shrinks a bit more so I'm giving it a second soak right now.

also found this gem... not a mark on it. Gap sz M

[hollowsleather]

Where was that shirt made? ^

Where was that shirt made? ^

 

I believe some were made in China and some in India... and before anybody gets worked up about it again.. here's what i posted four years ago:

Regarding the Gap Mister Freedom collection from Mister Freedom himself:

-------------

The story with this tee is basically this: the Gap mens knits head designer 

is a long time loyal customer of ours and he asked us to do a design for 

AIDS relief in Africa charity called Product [red]. Not exactly the kind of 

thing you can say "no thanks" to.

I'm sure vinneus will be donating any profit made from the sale of the garment to that very charity!

[hollowsleather]

I was just curious, I've seen some made in DR, and I don't think anyone can fault Christophe for advocating better labor practices, he's been very outspoken.

[hollowsleather]

I'd rock that shirt, except that there's about 99% chance that I'd also be wearing the jeans in the illustration at the same time, and that just seems tasteless.

This project is one of those things you do because you believe it's going to do more good than where the shirt may be made doing bad. If that makes any sense.   Not many people even have the chance to have their artwork turned into a Product [red] piece, so the chance isn't something you pass up.

Or kind of very sick... Not sure which.
