Description

The Freenote Cloth Midway Shirt is a heavyweight shirt-jacket made from a Washed Indigo Japanese Sashiko cloth, suitable as an overshirt or mid-layer and 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 is finished with jacketing details for a new-vintage-styled flavor. This 14 oz. Sashiko cloth, inspired by martial arts garments, has woven elasticity and flexibility, using thick indigo-dyed yarns to create a woven texture, and is stone-washed for a worn-in, vintage aesthetic and feel that will continue to 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, a reversed French placket, buttoned flap patch bellow pockets, and button cuffs. It is completed with matte espresso-brown Italian horn buttons, felled seams, single and double-needle construction, and bartack reinforcements throughout. The Freenote Cloth Two Year Wash Indigo Sashiko Midway 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.
