Description

The Freenote Cloth Midway Shirt is a heavyweight shirt-jacket produced from a Japanese Sashiko cloth for an overshirt or mid-layer appropriate as an all-season style staple. Using the Midway pattern, this piece is reinterpreted from the WWII Navy and Army-issued CPO shirt, featuring a straightened fit and hem, oversized chest pockets, and finished with jacketing details for a new-vintage styled flavor. This 14 oz. Sashiko cloth, inspired by martial arts garments, has a woven elasticity and flexibility, using thick indigo-dyed yarns to create a woven texture that will patina beautifully with the heavy use this fabric is designed to endure. Staying true to heritage production details and evolved design elements, this shirt features a point camp collar, reversed French placket, buttoned flap patch bellow pockets, and button cuffs. It is completed with Italian horn buttons, felled seams, single and double-needle construction, and bartack reinforcements throughout. The Freenote Cloth Midway Indigo Sashiko is a modern take on Western workwear made in the United States with old-world quality — sure to become a future heirloom for the vintage-inspired enthusiast seeking something new.
