The Mister Freedom Appaloosa Western Snap Shirt in 10 oz. NOS 2×1 “Liberty” Denim is the vintage-style shirting option you’ve been looking for. You might say ok, Obi-Wan, but why? Listen up, young padawan, Mister Freedom takes direct inspiration from traditional clothing and workwear styles and improves upon them – as if they were a brand existing in the mid-century era themselves.
This MF take on a Western shirt is cut from a new old stock (AKA never used fabric that was milled by the now defunct Columbus Mills in Georgia) 100% cotton non-selvedge lightweight 10oz. 2×1 woven twill denim. Straight from the days when mills only made fabrics for a purpose, this denim was made to perform! And I’m not just talking about at the rodeo, no — you can wear this thing dressed up or down as you please. Isn’t that nice?
Suitable for a ranch hand but detailed for the poshest of cowboys: 50s-era style painted metal DOT snap button front placket (made to age and chip for extra depth), dual slanted western style flap pockets sewn into a classic “Roebucks” style slanted front yoke, snap-adjustable cuffs, chambray fabric side gussets, chain stitched side seams with runoff, all contrast stitched.
Available for $330 from Franklin and Poe.
