Stanley T-Shirt - Seal Brown

The Mister Freedom® STANLEY T-Shirts are produced in California, USA, cut from domestically-milled premium tubular cotton jersey.

Our STANLEY features an exclusive light-weight tubular cotton jersey with a slubby texture. This looser knit fabric has high mechanical stretch, resulting in higher drape for a relaxed silhouette, reminiscent of classic vintage 1960s-70s tourist/rock Ts.

Depending on your body type and selected size, the STANLEY is your choice for a light-weight comfortable T-shirt with an old school casual vibe and cut.

When you add 2 Stanley T-Shirts of any color to your cart you will receive a 2-pack discount automatically at checkout.

SPECS

FABRIC:
100% cotton light-weight slubby tubular jersey knit, milled in the USA.
The tubular no-side-seams fabric twists and torques, like that of all-cotton vintage T-shirts. This natural yarn distortion is expected and not a default.

SIZING/FIT

The Mister Freedom® Stanley T-shirt is available pre-shrunk and ready-to-wear. Please refer to sizing chart to determine which size works for you.

CL's Advice: I wear Medium (38) on most MFSC garments, but sized down to a Small for both MF® Stanley and Skivvy, just personal taste. According to your built and silhouette preference, get your normal size or size down for a slimmer/shorter old school fit.

The Stanley fits like the Skivvy does, but due to the nature of its stretchy jersey, the Stanley might feel looser at first.

CARE

Low-maintenance as a t-shirt should be, just throw your Stanley in the washer/dryer, cold or hot water, delicate cycle. No bleach.

STORY

We introduced the Mister Freedom® STANLEY T-Shirt in 2015, initially released in 7 classic original colors, white, black, red, royal blue, jungle green, and gold. An aqua blue version followed in 2020.
A very limited collector’s edition indigo tie-dye batch also made a brief appearance that strange year, the result of a slow and tedious backyard project undertaken during the cooped-up months of the plague to quell cabin fever.
We also patiently process a few naturally-faded “Sunshine” shirts (organically bleached-out by exposure to the elements for an extended period of time), but those are mostly available in-store only.

On a production note, not everyone may realize that actually getting our STANLEYs made is no simple task. For a “simple” finished T-Shirt to eventually land at Mister Freedom® HQ, the reality involves a complicated chain of events, many challenging manufacturing levels, and the hard work and expertise of many. If our easy-to-navigate webstore makes it a click away for the end customer, the journey to get each shirt produced — and in the USA for good measure — is a wild ride.

From growing the cotton to harvesting the crop domestically at farm level — granted the weather and boll weevils cooperated that year —, to spinning the fiber into yarns at the mill, to producing the tubular knit fabric in a complex process requiring industrial circular knitting machines (different size = different machine) and skilled operators, to garment-dyeing (locally in LA) hoping the reactive dye — a dyestuff popularized in the 1950s — will produce a consistent color (on inconsistent yarns sourced from various cotton farms), to all kinds of unforeseen challenges in between that necessitate a string of pre-production prototypes to limit snafus, it is always with great excitement and relief that our team welcomes a restock of any of our knit shirts (STANLEYs, SKIVVIEs, HENLEYs, CREW CHIEFs etc) at HQ.

Our STANLEY colors are guaranteed to fade to attractive hues with repeat wash/wear cycles and sun exposure.

The MF® STANLEY T-Shirt is designed in California by Mister Freedom® and manufactured in the USA.
