Midway Wool CPO Shirt - Red
Freenote - Midway Wool CPO Shirt - Red
The Midway CPO is inspired by the M42 HBT uniforms, one of the most commonly issued uniforms for American soldiers in World War II. The boxy fit and oversized pockets were practical necessities for functional wartime garments. Seen through the civilian lens, this is an intrinsically fashionable piece. The long breast pocket style lends extremely well to layering. The oversized buttons and heft of the wool make this an outerwear piece, but the warmth when worn close to the body can make it a fantastic second layer. This is one of our favorite new developments from Freenote in years. It's a gorgeous, gorgeous shirt made right in the heart of Los Angeles.
- Yarn dyed melton wool blend from Japan
- 70% wool, 20% polyester 5% nylon, 5% acrylic
- 2 expandable chest pockets
- French placket
- Single needle stitch detail
- Double needle stitch at stress points

A variance of +/- .5" is within tolerance.
Fit Notes: Tommy is wearing a small in the pictures. He typically wears medium from most North American brands, but this is an outerwear piece that runs a bit bigger in the chest, as you can see. The small fit comfortably with enough room in the chest, shoulders, and arms. He's our standard fit model and weighs in at 5'10," 165lbs with a 40" chest measurement.
Apparel
In our tenure, we've never carried a sandal or a slide. Nothing ever really spoke to us until this plain weave denim version. The wonderful manufacturers at Malibu have taken what looks a lot like elongated belt loops and created an incredible woven upper to go with their proprietary 3-piece outsole unit wrapped in Natural Malaysian Crepe gum soles. This particular denim is likely the same they use for the 105 and 107 models as it's woven on a machine that can only make 50 meters a day - nice and slow like orSlow likes it. This is an elevated slide for us. It's something you can wear around the house if you like but is meant to be worn on the streets. It's a blend of "our" world with denim and crepe soles and a world we haven't previously dipped our toes in. And this one feels a heck of a lot like the 2-year wash we love so much (we're certain they used a very similar process). The combo creates something incredibly unique that really has us buzzing.

03-7058-61 - Hawaiian Short - Black
It's very rare that we get a pair of shorts in the shop. orSlow is one of the only brands we're willing to grab them from. Of course, we had to grab the green version of these. It's a staple. They fit a lot like the fatigue you know and love, just with a little less leg. They're gonna be perfect for the heat we're bound to experience this Summer. You can't wear pants 365 days a year, so for those other days, orSlow's shorts definitely come in handy.
The New Yorker silhouette from orSlow is an easy-to-wear casual style with an elastic waistband. This time around they've been cut with a military ripstop fabric which could not be a more perfect fit for orSlow. The sumi black steps them up to a whole other level. There's such a lack of black shorts on the market, and these solve that problem. This ripstop is beautifully textured while staying breathable - a perfect mix of tech fabric and heritage design.
These bad boys were a shot at nostalgia for us. They bring us right back to the 90s. After we got the jacket, we couldn't stop ourselves with the pants. You can do a full coverall painted kit if you want. And this time, we really wanted the paint splatter. We had such good luck with the first round of these, we thought, "Why not give it a shot?" And they're done so tastefully that they become a pant everyone wants to rock. These have all of the classic features including that left-hand loop for your hammer and a slot on the right for many other tools. The massive pockets and subtle arcuate only add to the wonderfully fun nature of these pants. And, they're soft as all get out. This is a true workwear fit with enough room to do almost anything.
