SIZING/FIT

The Mister Freedom® Ranch Blouse 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: I wear my usual Ranch Blouse size in this “Midnight” edition, a cold-soaked 36.

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.

Note: Due to the nature of indigo dye some color transfer is to be expected. This will subside with wear and washing.

STORY

The Mister Freedom® RANCH BLOUSE pattern is our original take on classic denim jacket styles from the Golden Age of American workwear, 1930s to 1950s.

We are excited for this release of our staple Ranch Blouse patterns in a smashing 16 Oz. “Midnight Denim” (MD)! The dark indigo warp and black weft give this twill an almost solid black appearance, enhanced by deep blue undertones and by the prospect of a very attractive indigo patina developing overtime.

The Ranch Blouse has a 1930’s ~ 1940’s flare with the traditional bell and whistle ie. the pleated front and the buckle back. We went for a "vintage" boxy fit while keeping the silhouette trim.

The “MD” Ranch Blouse is designed in California by Mister Freedom®, and manufactured in USA in collaboration with Sugar Cane Co..
