• STORY

  You guessed it, our ‘Ranchero’ shirt is inspired by vintage shirting, classic movies, old photos, traditional silhouettes…

  
  We mixed a bit of early work shirts, Indian ‘traditional’ tunics, Old West flavor, Old World shirting, some cilantro, stirred it all up, and dipped it in the MF® salsa.
  BAM, we had a noïce shoït.

  
  The ‘cut away’ one-piece collar pattern was inspired by several 1900′s French rural homemade shirts and early Mexican blouses. Nothing literal as always, just our interpretation and adaptation, as we, city dwellers, tend to spend more time in traffic than in fields swinging a scythe or a cavalry sword.

   

  The ‘Ranchero’ shirt was introduced during Spring 2013, in both a white dobby stripe and indigo calico popeline.

  
  This season, we added two new fancy fabrics, exclusively milled in Japan:

  a) Plaid: a linen (60%) cotton (40%) woven indigo x mader red plaid, 6.2 Oz., selvedge, a mid-weight hand.
  This fabric was originally developed based on a turn of the Century homespun cotton/linen work apron, scored from a French country side market.

   

  b) Covert: An 100% cotton indigo yarn covert twill, 8.5 Oz., selvedge, a warm and quite heavy hand. In appearance somewhat similar to a ‘salt and pepper’ work fabric, with a quite thick feel.
  We are using this covert as a ‘common thread’ for this Fall 2013 collection. It is featured in our ‘El Americano’ waistcoats and blousons.
  This fabric was originally the lining of a pair of gentlemen’s trousers from the 1890′s. I have only seen this fabric once. Unusual then, it is not common either today.

  With an all original MF® pattern and two fabric options, the ‘Ranchero’ is a pretty versatile shirt that can go dressy or casual, according to what you will match it with. It is a comfortable fit, due to cut and the expansion pleats of the shoulder yoke.

• CARE

  SIZING/WASHING:
  Both fabric options come raw/unwashed and will shrink to tagged size after an original cold soak and line dry.
  Washable in cold water, gentle cycle. Line dry.
  Please note that it is of the nature of linen garments to look wrinkled after laundry. Some like it that way, and some, in order to solve this First World problem, use an iron.
