SIZING/FIT

The Mister Freedom® Gabier Jacket 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: As often with mfsc jackets, I am in-between two sizes with the Gabier and opted for a Size 38 in Flamer. The canvas fabric will not stretch or give so I have to go for a 38.

CARE

Hand wash or machine wash on delicate, cold water, minimal eco-friendly detergent. Turn inside-out. Line dry only.

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

STORY

The MF® Gabier Jacket is by no mean an attempt at a sea-worthy garment by nautical pro-gear standards. It merely carries a bit of salty air nostalgia. 

The original idea for this jacket came from bright-colored vintage sails, with colors spliced together for easy ID at sea, and probably to entertain seagulls. 

The fiery “Flamer” option, a combination of three cotton canvas, milled and dyed to our specs in Japan, is a nod to a specific color combo sail pattern introduced by boat-builder Hobie Cat® in 1975.

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