SIZING/FIT

The Mister Freedom® Manureva Deck Shorts comes raw/unwashed, and will shrink to tagged size. Follow the usual recommended initial method before wearing: cold soak for 30mn, spin dry and line dry. Please refer to sizing chart to determine which size works for you.

CL’s Advice: They are pretty much true-to-size, and I opted for a waist 32 and relaxed fit, judging the waist 30 a bit too ‘Angus Young’ on me. These shorts have a generous waist and slimmer thigh section.

CARE

Hand wash or machine wash on delicate, cold water, minimal eco-friendly detergent. Turn inside-out to avoid marbling of the fabric. Line dry only.

This fabric will develop attractive patina overtime, according to the owner’s activities, frequency of wear and laundering choices.

STORY

Our Manureva Deck Shorts — Pant pattern inspired by 1970s “Bush Pants”, with canvas fabric colorways referencing visuals of vintage 1970s Hobie Cat® sails — averaged a stock 11’’ inseam.

I had gone on a custom cropping binge a few years back, and shortened all my all my Manureva Deck Shorts, anticipating an escape to Bora Bora with Tina in 2016, an epic trip and one of my happy places.

If you lean more towards a 1953 Gary Cooper in Acapulco vibe than a 1973 Angus Young schoolboy get up, our COOPER treatment may be the ticket on these summer shorts!

Manureva Deck Shorts, now available shortened about one inch below the front patch pockets, a tad longer than my Bora Bora days chop job.

Now, get out in the sun and show some skin if that’s your thing, look alive, and get your vitamin D while you’re at it!

This MF® garment is designed in California by Mister Freedom® and manufactured in Japan by Sugar Cane Co.
