MISTER FREEDOM® AMERICAN SPORTSWEAR (PART 4) AND ROAD CHAMPS AT MY DOOR

What an exciting Mister Freedom® day this turned out to be for me.  After a trip around the world and back, my Road Champ Engineer Boots are back from Takeshi's shop and now these awesome "Shipyard Chinos" have dropped anchor.

I shipped my boots along with a set of Cat's Paw heels to Takeshi back in September and with just over two months and $410.00, I've got what I consider to be my favorite boots of all time.  To date, this is my most expensive pair at over $1,500.00...and well worth every cent!!



Christophe, if you're reading this I'm coming in for a size 8 just to keep for future use : )



I was going to go with new Takeshi buckles, but decided to keep the awesome organic ones.


I went with double welt stitching, stacked heels and double leather midsoles with an added leather halfsole. 

Mister Freedom® MFSC American Sportswear Fall 2011 (Part 4): The “Shipyard Chinos”


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.
This raw cotton fabric has some heavy shrinkage but will shrink to (a generous) tagged size.
