These were purchased in August 2007 directly through Mister Freedom in Los Angeles
paper hand numbered hang tag and the size tag, this is nr 44 of the 48 jeans that Christophe kept for his own store
the back with cinch, here you see the 3 types of denim clearly, it also shows the reinforcement stitching under the rivets.
Note that these have no yoke.
a close up of the rivet, you can't make it out but the rivets say BUZZ on them really tiny, guess they must've been from the Buzz Rickson range, I've never seen rivets like these, they're very thick and sturdy.
Mister Freedom didn't like the rivets the way they came from production so he hand hammered them all flat on the pairs that he kept for his store.
You can also clearly make out the different direction the denim on the wraparound pockets is going
the "Canes Union Made" top button, the other buttons are just plain donut buttons.
This also shows the horizontal stitching that runs along the waistband.
And the Mister Freedom woven cloth tag in the back of the waistband
the buttons, selvedge beltloop and waistband and hand stenciled writing in the inside of the waistband,
also the Edo Ai inside of the button fly
hand stenciled MF anchor, on the inside left thigh (the side without outseam)
the Anchor was only stenciled into the jeans that Mister Freedom kept for his own store.
Chambray patch on the back of the left leg, with hand stenciled nrs and property of Samuel, and a peek at the halfselvedge inseam
closeup of the Edo Ai patch on the right leg, I had never seen it in the flesh before and this denim is amazing! I would say this denim is the color of the sea. I'm not sure if I could have a complete pair of jeans in it though. Again note the different direction.
And beautiful denim, the right leg, Sugar Cane's 301 (or "Okinawa" denim).
a side pic of the inside that shows the half selvedge inseam on the left leg and the inner coinpocket, also the big cuffs, I had to take them out since I needed the length.
plus the other side of the outseamless left leg
the difference in denim is hardly noticeable when they are worn
a clear view of the side pocket, the selvedge has folded in through use and isn't so obvious now, also you can see the shape of the wraparound pockets quite well, which are a very unique feature
and on the right a look into the sidepocket, the ticker fabric that it's lined with is incredibly soft and the size and placement of the pocket are ideal to put your hand in, surprisingly this pocket is one of my favorite things about these here fine overalls
The jeans are asymmetrical and constructed from Sugar Cane's Okinawa, Hawaii and Edo Ai denim.
The knee patch, inner part of the button fly and one half of the buckle strap are Edo Ai.
The left leg is constructed from the Hawaii denim, and the right from Okinawa, the left pocket uses the denim of the right leg and vice-versa.
Also the direction of the weave on the pockets and knee patch is horizontal.
For completeness sake, below the flasher that was attached to all jeans that didn't come directly from Mister Freedom
