Mister Freedom has garnered a very well-deserved reputation for some of the best heritage goods in the game, and their Snipes 2×1 Selvedge Denim Shirt is here to uphold that reputation. Designed in MF’s studio, the pattern is inspired by a vintage 1930s US Army wool uniform shirt, updated for 2025 in a raw 11 oz. 2×1 denim, milled in Japan.
2×1? Don’t worry, no math involved here — 2×1 simply refers to the twill of the raw denim. Specifically, it means that there are 2 warp threads for every weft, which makes it lighter than your typical raw denim. It’s more breathable, but not quite as light as a plain weave (or 1×1), so the Snipes shirt is an ideal piece of layering all year round. This specific 2×1 denim has a dark indigo warp and grey weft, making it a deliciously dark denim that will fade beautifully.
Made in Japan, the Snipes shirt has some really lovely detailing. An unstructured one-piece collar which gives the shirt a more relaxed look, black corozo wood buttons perfectly complement the rich indigo denim, whilst two large chest pockets — with an equal amount of pen slots — and reinforced elbow patches make sure that it is in-keeping with its utilitarian roots.
Available for $298 from Tendrel.
