This collaboration between Mister Freedom and J. Crew has been available for a while, but the release of a new "rustic blue" (i.e. chambray) colorway has forced my hand. While it's hard justifying spending $200, let along $240, on a shirt (especially a workshirt) this may be the exception to the rule. Foolishly left off of my fall wishlist, this may be the coolest shirt out right now (apologies to the fine garments available from Hamilton 1883). The details are absurdly good and most definetely authentic considering Mister Freedom's reputation as the archival master. While the new rustic blue version is awesome, this "collection special item" (What? Seriously, who is proofreading over at J. Crew?) off-white is a must buy. According to those in the know over at J. Crew the shirt is extremely snug and they recommend ordering a size up if you are looking for that relaxed feel from your off duty workshirt. Once again, this price is steep, but for a shirt that looks amazing enough to wear everyday it may just be worth it. If the devil is in the details, call me a satanist...
