This isn't the case with the "American Sportswear" line from Mister Freedom® (or any line from this brand for that matter). Christophe uses only the best hand-picked milled or NOS fabric for his unique and ever-popular custom apparel. To prove the ruggedness and quality of his items, Christophe personally puts them through the ringer resulting in something faithful followers find fulfilling.
