Freenote Cloth

@ZackB Yeah fair enough, I am in the same boat with most freenote fits. Their new Modesto jean though is great for that, first Freenote cut that works for me really well.

[ZackB]

@TENDREL oh dope, I haven’t seen those but I will check them out.

I’m a 33” true waist and go with a medium in the deck shorts. I have three pairs and love them. I tried a large when I first got a pair and they fit ok…but I found them to be too ballooned out for my liking. When I got the mediums they fit perfect.

Wondering now if any of you guys have had the chance to wear their Vagabond short? May try and pick up a pair with the deck shorts

[americanathreads]

@SKT Vagabond shorts are excellent. I picked up a pair of the green ones last summer and absolutely love them. I'm a true waist 35.5 or so, and the 33s fit great.

[SKT]

@americanathreads awesome! That’s exactly the size I’m looking at on their site. Have they shrunk/stretched much?

My 3rd Hawaiian button down from Freenote. Great quality!

@Denimhead-0 that blue is dynamite

[americanathreads]

@SKT haven’t washed yet so not sure on shrinkage. I don’t think I’ve gotten any stretch - maybe marginal. It’s kind of a moleskin type fabric, don’t think there’s too much stretch in it.

Should pair well with some Indigo black

Vagabond and Deck shorts incoming. May need to stay away from this thread it’s getting expensive

[Mizmazzle]

@SKT did you get the indigo deck shorts? Think you’ll love the deck shorts cut. They are very very nice.

[SKT]

@Mizmazzle I did! I put the deck pants on hold for now too just because I’m desperate for some nice shorts for summer.

[Mizmazzle]

@SKT you’re in for a treat. Look forward to your thought on em!

[northsouthdenimguy]

Picked these up today, looking forward to wearing this cut.

[ZackB]

@SKT let us know how the vagabond shorts are. Super curious about those

Does anyone have any experience with caring for Freenote's 100% rayon Hawaiians?

I love the print/design but never had a 100% rayon garment before. It's listed as "raw" on their website so I imagine it's not preshrunk. I emailed Freenote and they advised dry clean only due to shrinkage with handwashing. Has anyone tried washing something like this or is everyone dry cleaning them?

[NomadCrow]

@FireGX Don't have an answer to your question but Naked and Famous did Hawaiian shirts with that exact same pattern/fabric.

@FireGX Dryclean mine just to be safe.

Just a little update on my Freenote shorts journey. Got the Deck shorts in Indigo and the Vagabond shorts and unfortunately had to return both because of sizing issues. Kind of a big bummer because I absolutely love that indigo fabric and it sucks I couldn’t make the fit work. I have to have a lower front rise (think 666 cut) and both these were just a little too long there for me. Craftsmanship was top notch and I’m hoping to find some that fit my body better down the road.
