The very fine people at Mister Freedom were kind enough to invite me over and give me the exclusive, all access pass to the new line. These few pieces basically sum up everything I love. I'm not going to go into how great Christophe and his team are, or how they are able to create what others just talk about. I've already told my story about Christophe, his space, and my experience in it, in my post last week, so I'll let the pieces speak for themselves.

OMG, thank you Nick! VERY NICE photos!
the sweatshirt, black tee and the jeans are mine. thank you so much for the photos. keep up the good work.
Those jeans are great, the ankle pockets are wicked unique. Also like the Mulholland Master jacket, makes me want to trade my Barbour International...maybe
Um mulholland jacket and dungarees please. I'll pay for shipping...
i'm not a huge fan of motorcycle-y fashion, but i am a fan of quality and details. so i can appreciate! i really like that sweatshirt, and those boots look amazing!
The Vintage sweatshirt, Mechanic shirt, Mulholland jacket and jeans are DOPE!!
I love this stuff, I just wish I could wear. A little too "real" for my style. But that's what makes it rad. Super attention to detail.
Yep...I want the Mechanic Sweatshirt. Like right now.
Gonna cop everything but the jacket, boots and hat. Maybe the boots if they're under 700 bucks.
Countdown to stratospheric prices in 3, 2, 1...
^^not really, cloth jacket jeans, workshirt and sweater are all comparable to last fall/winters prices. the leather jacket will be expensive, its also insane, the boots will be expensive becasue they are all handmaking them at mr freedom. but 400 for the best damn pair of jeans youll ever own isnt bad at all, and 850 for a sick jacket unlike anything you can buy anywhere else is worth every penny.
Nice. I like sneek peaks.
Cheers
Does not get much better than Mr. Freedom. His attention to detail is really unrivaled here in the US. Workers out of Japan does exceptional work too. Thanks for the post.
Chris
what color is the mechanic sweatshirt?
Brandon-
A nice greyish-chocolate-brownesque... with heathered cuffs. How's that for vague? If I remember correctly, it's fairley close to the photos.
thank you very much for the vivid description. I wasn't sure if it was a faded black or brown
nice photos, thank you for putting them up online
Deadly, I love it!
