SIZING/FIT

The Mister Freedom® Californian Lot74 comes raw/unwashed, and will shrink to tagged size. Follow the usual recommended initial method before wearing: cold soak for 30mn, spin dry and line dry. Please refer to sizing chart to determine which size works for you.

CL’s Advice: Which size works for you depends on how you like your jeans to fit. I wear a slim-fitting but comfortable tagged W32 in the Lot74.

We recommend getting your usual waist size, although proper fit is a subjective matter and everyone has their own idea of what looks good.

As with all denim twill, shrinkage and stretching will occur for a while and will depend on the wearer’s body, activities and initial fit.

CARE

Hand wash or machine wash on delicate, cold water, minimal eco-friendly detergent. Turn inside-out to avoid marbling of the fabric. Line dry only.

This fabric will develop attractive patina over time, according to the owner’s activities, frequency of wear and laundering choices.

STORY

The Californian Lot74! These made in USA blue jeans feature a mid-high rise with a traditional slim fit and an old school “Gripper Zipper”.

Unlike our classic Lot64 silhouette, the 74s has been trimmed significantly for a 60’s McQueenesque vibe, with a fitted top block and a straight leg from the knee on down.

This run is made from a handsome 12.5 Oz blue denim, limited yardage of NOS from Cone Mills found in a local warehouse. This righthand twill denim is of an attractive shade of indigo blue, featuring a white and red stripe selvedge ID.

This MF® garment is designed and manufactured in California by Mister Freedom®, in collaboration with Sugar Cane Co.
