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 36. 

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. 

This version features a solid 12 oz. “neppy” selvedge denim with a lighter indigo hue and orange contrast stitching & snaps for a little 70’s flair.

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